An Emotional Weekend

Friday night. I picked up my phone to troubling news from my mother. “I debated the entire day whether I should tell you this. I don’t want you to worry too much — I know how you get — but I realized that you deserve to know because you’re family. Besides, you might become more […]

Baby Spirit Fingers

J and I always crack up whenever we see this advertisement for HALO SleepSacks: SPIRIT FINGERS, baby! Work those spirit fingers! Posting will continue to be light today, as we’re having one heckuva weekend (more on that in a later post). My baby shower is planned for later today — and although I’ve never really […]

The Rise of China [Infographic]

I always joke that the reason I married a Chinese man is because China will take over the world in our lifetime and I want someone “on the inside” for my own protection. I’m not sure if J takes this seriously or not — sometimes I can swear that he agrees with me. Via Power […]

Capitalization

Although the web is full of improper grammar and poor capitalization (or just no capitalization at all), I try my best to put my hard-earned second language to proper use. Text-messaging, however, is another story… Via Miss Cellania. You may also like: What Social Networking Was Like Before the Internet Wednesday Rewind: The 10 Levels […]

Are You Interested in Guest-Blogging?

I have been thinking about what to do with this blog when I go into labor and during the precious few weeks following the birth of our baby. I know that my readers will completely understand a maternity break from blogging; but at the same time I am hesitant to put this site into hiatus […]

Preparing My Body for Labor

Last month, I stopped by our local Vitamin Shoppe and picked up a couple of items to help prepare my body for labor. The first up is red raspberry leaf tea (RRLT). RRLT is proven to strengthen the uterine and pelvic muscles, and is said to “focus” and improve your contractions when labor starts and help […]

Justin Bieber Has Dedicated Servers at Twitter

Reading this post at Gizmodo made me LOL. But at the same time, I was a bit confused, because I thought that most teens were not into Twitter. I guess it only goes to show the immense popularity of the Biebs. P.S. — I still don’t really *get* Justin Bieber. Are any of my readers a […]

New Priorities

Originally, J and I had planned on using the bassinet that comes equipped with this Pack ‘n Play for the first couple of months of the baby’s life; we would have the baby sleep there beside our bed for easier night feedings and as an extra precaution against SIDS. However, upon further examination of our limited […]
