One… Last week, I got a haircut. I hadn’t gotten a cut in over six months, and with the post-partum hair loss I have been experiencing (it’s not as bad as last time, but it’s still pretty disgusting), my hair was in dire need of some servicing. I was about to go make an appointment […]
I realized the other day that I had never posted Aerin’s birth story. There is reasoning behind the madness: it just isn’t that exciting. 🙁 And by this, I mean that while the birth of our second daughter was thrilling for us, it was short and easy and free of drama — not stuff that non-family […]
Yesterday, I broke out of my month-long confinement in order to visit the optometrist. J still disapproved of my leaving the house, but I was running dangerously low on my contact lenses and I was not able to order them online since it had been more than a year since my last eye exam. (On the subject […]
Aerin Isabel was born 11/1/11 at 9:20am, weighing 6 lbs 11 oz and measuring 19.5″ long. Delivery was remarkably easy and complication-free (she was out in three pushes!); the baby very healthy and alert. I feel incredibly blessed that both Claire and Aerin made their entries into this world so smoothly. My first thought upon […]
I continued to have mild contractions for the rest of yesterday, and tried my best to go to sleep despite the discomfort. At around 3am, the contractions started to become quite painful and I began to time them using a contractions app I had downloaded for my phone. About 45 minutes later, I finally woke […]
The BebeDeux Baby Pool is now closed. Congratulations to Kristin, who guessed 11/1/11, 9:00am, 6lb 3oz, 19.5″! Tick, tock, tick, tock, the time is near! With just a few days left until my due date, I thought it would be fun to create a baby pool. The best part? The winner — or the person […]
This is the scene outside our window right now: They say that we should be expecting up to 5 inches of snow tonight. With just a few days to go until my due date, I am a tad bit worried, to say the least. I know five women whose due dates were within a week […]
This morning I went in for what may be my last regular OB visit before BebeDeux arrives. Once again the exam went perfectly fine and the doctor tells me that there is no need for any worries. I declined an internal exam because heck, I was only 1cm dilated 12 hours before I went into […]
So last night, after my freak-out, I tried my best to calm my nerves by doing what comes most natural to me at 2am: surfing the web. And by the dim light of my laptop, I noticed something interesting about my nipples. (I have been sleeping topless for the past month or so, because this is […]
Our Claire Bear has an ear infection. 🙁 She woke up several times last night, which we had attributed to teething, and this morning flat-out refused to eat. Then, she woke up from her morning nap with a fever and proceeded to just cry and cry. Coincidentally, Claire’s 1-year pediatrician visit was scheduled for later […]
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.
