It began with a rocky start (more on that on a later post). But finally being able to see my husband after a week of being apart was simply the best present. I cried like a baby when I came home after work Saturday night and managed to spend the whole day Sunday together. We […]
Week 6
Dear Baby, We still have one more week until the doctor so I’m still not sure how old you are. But in my mind, you turn 6 weeks old today. You are now the size of a snow pea. Your heart is beating — almost twice as fast as mine — and you are starting […]
My First Gray Hair
I know I said I’ll be away for at least a week but… Today I discovered my first gray hair. I know that many people start getting gray/white hair at an early age (including my husband, whose head has been peppered with white hair since his early twenties) but I know that this can only […]
A Short Hiatus
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 […]

I confess that I still get upset when I hear of acquaintances’ pregnancies — because I’m positive that they will go on to have […]

An Alphabet for Korean-Americans
Suggu is a an alphabet mashup between Hangul (the Korean alphabet) and the Roman alphabet. This may not be that interesting to my non-Korean readers, but it’s fascinating to people like me who can read both Korean and English. Using the Roman alphabet’s consonants and Hangul’s vowels, Suggu produces some dazzling results, if I do […]
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 […]
