I have a love/hate relationship with weekly emails from BabyCenter. If you are pregnant, or are a parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about. By this week your baby is… And you read on to feel smug if your baby has already reached that milestone/developmental stage, or you are ashamed and feel like the […]
If the Steelers, Jets, Packers, and Bears Worked in an Office
Last Saturday, our beloved Ravens were booted out of the playoffs. It was an especially disappointing loss because not only did they lose to their #1 rivals after a first half that looked more than promising, it was Claire’s first NFL playoffs and we had ordered a baby cheerleader outfit just for the occasion. This […]
Conception Date
Last week I was talking to a friend about her efforts to get pregnant. When she mentioned that she might start taking her basal body temperature, I strongly urged her to sign up for a Fertility Friend account. After all, I myself had gotten pregnant with the help of Fertility Friend (and got to know […]
New Year, New Look, New Platform
Raising my daughter without the help of my in-laws has (surprisingly) been a lot easier than I thought. And while there are times when I am missing them sorely because I am dying for a nap or want to go run a quick errand without doing all the time-consuming things that involve going out with an […]
Blogging Break
In addition to Claire’s extra fussiness during the past week, a series of circumstances have left me severely disappointed and disheartened with the world and its inhabitants. Furthermore, J’s parents will be returning to Hong Kong tomorrow. Which means that it will be just me with the baby (and Comang) from now on while J […]
Happy New Year!
(image courtesy of Little Seouls Blog) I remember when I was little, the best part about New Year’s Day was not the gathering of family or the delicious food. The best part of New Year’s Day for me — and for millions of other Korean kids — was getting dressed in our hanbok (traditional Korean dress) […]
Adieu, 2010
Things have been a bit hectic, tiring, and cranky in our household this week as Claire has entered another difficult phase. We’re not sure if it is another growth spurt or teething, but our now-3-month-old (as of yesterday!) has not been this fussy since she was 6 weeks old. We will be ringing in the […]
The Beauty of Pixar
When I was little I wanted to be an animator at Disney. And as I got older and became fascinated with computers, I dreamed of working at Pixar as a graphics designer-slash-engineer. My aspirations were serious enough to enlist the help of my uncle, who at the time held the very prestigious position of VP […]
I Will Carry You Home
In submitting an additional entry to Trupanion‘s Pawliday Blog Contest, I could’ve listed all the ways in which Comang is such an exceptional dog. How our friends, vet, and groomer constantly tell us that he’s one of the best-behaved dogs they’ve ever met. How he never fails to make me feel like I’m the only […]
