As a testament to how uncomfortable I was in the weeks leading up to the birth of my second child, I felt as light as a feather and wanted to do cartwheels down the maternity ward just hours after delivery. Even day two, when I felt my worst, was far better than my last month of […]
She was not very amused. If anything, she seemed a bit scared and intimidated. And when she saw me holding her little sister for the first time, she started to cry. 🙁 Her grandfather had to take her away and distract her with some ballons so that she wouldn’t throw a fit right there in […]
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 […]

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 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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday, we discovered 2 new teeth in Claire’s mouth — one on either side of her top front teeth — making for a grand total of 6 teeth at the age of 12 months. (So far, all of her teeth have come in pairs. Is this normal?) The best part? She did not exhibit any […]
How much does psychology come into play when it comes to the day a woman gives birth? As it turns out, more than what you might expect. Using 11-years’ worth of U.S. birth certificate data provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, Yale researchers have found that there are higher instances of birth on Valentine’s […]
Baby carriers are big in Asia. This is especially the case in urban areas where there is limited space and the majority of the population choose to take public transportation rather than drive. And where there is demand, there is supply. A great variety of quality supply, I might add. The Pognae is one such […]
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.
