If you are Asian, there’s a very good chance that you already know what BB Creams are — after all, they have been all the rage in Korea, Japan, and China for the past few years. So if you’re familiar with BB Creams, please feel free to skip the next section. 🙂 What is a […]
19 Weeks
I feel bad that I haven’t been writing about BebeDeux and this pregnancy as much as I did with Claire. But with the two babies so close in age, I haven’t forgotten much about my pregnancy with Claire, and aside from a few minor differences, this pregnancy is very similar. I do not consider this […]
Peaked Too Early
Lately I have been plagued with a nagging uncertainty that makes me wonder if I had peaked too early in life. Allow me to explain. Before the age of 20, I was a Little Miss Overachiever: straight ‘A’s in school, tons of extracurricular activities, numerous awards, distinctions, and merits. My accomplishments included the following: Not […]
A Book to Keep You Cool This Summer
I don’t know about the rest of the country, but we are absolutely SWELTERING here in the NYC area. Our nanny actually got a call from her son earlier today because all the local schools were closing early due to the intense heat. As I vastly prefer the cold over the heat, I usually stay […]
Working With Nature
A few weeks ago, I was shocked to discover some tan spots on Claire’s scalp. They varied in size from a eighth of an inch to half an inch in diameter. The coloring looked similar to how one’s skin looks as a cut/scrape heals, so I immediately checked to see if they were results of […]
Our Very Own Mary Poppins
Weeks after placing “part-time nanny wanted” ads, I was still getting tons of applications and found myself only lazily skimming through them. It wasn’t that I didn’t want the help. Rather, I was literally receiving hundreds of applications, most of which I knew to be were from people I wouldn’t trust to prepare my coffee, […]
The Preggo Chop
Being pregnant, it is not uncommon to have days when you feel utterly unattractive. Even if you have been through it before like I have, the insane amount of changes to your body makes you feel out of control and continually self-conscious. Perhaps that is why so many pregnant women choose to make drastic changes […]
It’s a…
Girl! …but we’re not certain. BebeDeux was moving around so much that the doc had a hard time getting a good look at the goods. He thinks it’s a girl, but he says he wouldn’t bet on it. We’ll just have to wait until the 14th to find out for sure. (Sigh.) I know that […]
Let the Guessing Begin!
I am now 18 weeks pregnant with BebeDeux. Since babies’ genitalia start to become distinguishable via ultrasound starting at 16 weeks, you know what that means… It’s time to start the gender-guessing game! I waited until today to post this, because I have an OB appointment tomorrow morning. If BebeDeux cooperates, we will be able […]
The 5 Greatest NBA Finals Moments, ‘Legoized’
After an embarrassing performance by my beloved Knicks in this year’s NBA Playoffs (way to celebrate your first playoff appearance in 7 years!), I must admit that I haven’t been quite as into the rest of the playoffs, or even the finals. But even I couldn’t ignore Dallas’ spectacular sweep of last year’s champions, or […]
