My grandfather is very, very ill. My 외할아버지 managed to fly out to the states for my wedding in 2008 and looked badass in his newsboy cap and cane. He was in a lot of pain at the time but still managed to travel and smile throughout the day. My mother has decided to go […]
Confessions
I confess that I still stalk the “Due in April 2010” message boards. I confess that I still feel more comfortable in the “Trying to Get Pregnant” and “Miscarriage Support” groups. I confess that I still get upset when I hear of acquaintances’ pregnancies — because I’m positive that they will go on to have […]
Boy or Girl?
With my last pregnancy I had a feeling that it was a girl. This time, I have a feeling that it’s a boy. If I did ovulate on the 1/14 as Fertility Friend says, our chances of conceiving a boy are slim according to the Shettles Method. However, I just have this feeling that I’m […]
Scared
It’s starting to happen. A couple of the women on the “October 2010” pregnancy board have miscarried, or are in the process of miscarrying. And I know that more are bound to drop out as time progresses. Please don’t let me be one of those people. You may also like: Three Notes of Superficiality Wherein […]
Hoppin’ on the Bandwagon

What I Wouldn’t Give to Be a Mother
Yesterday I read that a woman with no vagina became pregnant and went on to deliver a baby boy. Granted, the “miraculous conception” occurred under extraordinary circumstances — fellatio followed by an abdominal stab wound — but I couldn’t help but question my own body afterwards. Because the truth of the matter is, I would […]
Comparing Children
Dear Baby, I always swore that I would never compare my children, but I already catch myself comparing this pregnancy to my last. I can’t help it — I’m so scared! I’m majorly concerned that I have had practically no symptoms. My breasts aren’t sore, my nausea is minimal, and I’m not even peeing that […]
T-Minus 12% Eggs
Did anyone else see this earlier this week? Women Lose 90 Per Cent of ‘Eggs’ by 30 I know that plenty of women have healthy babies in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. However, I can’t help but notice that within my social circle, the rate of conception and trouble-free pregnancies are highest among the […]
Mommy, Will You Carry Me Home?
A cold front has hit NY. This morning saw our first snow of the new year. The sky filled with fat, fluffy snowflakes that reminded me of the quote “Snowmen fall from heaven…unassembled.” As with most dog owners, I usually do not like walking Comang in bad weather. Even snow leaves his fur wet and […]
Star Wars X Adidas Originals 2010 Yoda Sneakers
I had previously written about the Star Wars X Adidas Originals 2010 line, and had expressed my desire to get the Yoda sneakers. J too, loved these shoes (I love being married to a fellow Star Wars fan) and we joked about getting matching his and hers pairs. Unfortunately, these limited edition shoes were available […]
