Yesterday, I received some good news and some bad news. Let’s go for the good first. A few months ago, I wondered to myself why we couldn’t get a lower mortgage rate. J and I had purchased our condo at the height of the housing boom (and just before the giant dip in mortgage rates), […]
I am not as worried about my weight gain anymore. While the great majority of women I know seem to have lost weight in their first trimesters (which I find discouraging because that makes me feel like a fatty in comparison), I have come to realize that not every woman handles pregnancy the same way. […]
As mentioned in my last post, my in-laws (J’s parents) will be visiting for 1.5 months starting this weekend. J’s parents live in Hong Kong, so we only get to see them a handful of times a year. However, each visit lasts at least a couple of weeks — the longest of which was 5 […]
I am officially in my second trimester and feeling great. I check my baby’s heartbeat with a fetal doppler every few days and know that it’s doing okay. But as “that month” approaches, I can’t help but be depressed. The nursery would be almost fully prepared. I should be waddling around with my stomach “out […]
I have mentioned in the past that I was in a sorority during my college years. And while I did not particularly like my experience at JHU, being a part of that sorority was the best part of college life. In fact, if it weren’t for alpha Kappa Delta Phi (aKDPhi), I’m pretty certain that […]
I recently discovered that one of my favorite series while growing up, The Baby-Sitters Club, will be re-issued by Scholastic in April 2010. A side-by-side comparison of the old and new covers As you can see above, the re-issue will have new cover designs (which I’m not sure I like…I liked the old covers […]
A Christian website I visit frequently recently opened a debate about the newly-signed health care reform bill. I will not get into the specifics here, but one recurrent theme caught my eye: the number of Christians who are vehemently opposed to the bill on the basis that they will need to contribute more in taxes […]
This morning J and I made a trip to Holy Name Medical Center — where I plan on giving birth — to have our nuchal translucency (NT) scan. The NT scan, otherwise known as the first trimester screening, is a combination of a sonogram and blood tests to identify risks of chromosomal abnormalities (e.g. Down’s […]
I have not written anything about weight gain so far…because I am so ashamed of it. Although I had morning sickness with my last pregnancy, I still had a tremendous appetite and ate everything in sight. So when I lost the baby at 12 weeks, I was already 5 lbs over my normal weight. The […]
Reader tyeung612 left the following comment about my last post involving Comang: I love your dog…I just wanted to share that! I have a shih tzu myself and I’m not sure if it is the breed or if it’s the fact that i dropped him on his head as a puppy but he’s definitely not […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
