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 with two weeks left to go until BebeDeux’s due date… We got a flat tire on our only car. And we discovered the tools needed to replace a flat were missing from our trunk. J’s company essentially screwed him over and the raise that he was promised came to be a lot less than […]
Claire seems to be doing much better this morning. Her fever is gone, she no longer cries out from pain, and she is finally eating. I did not sleep a wink last night from worrying over my sick daughter. Since my in-laws have arrived early this morning to help with the baby, I will now attempt […]
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 […]
With less than 3 weeks to go before my due date with BebeDeux, I have been slowly making preparations for our new life as a family of 4. The hardest part of this transition has had to do with Claire. Because for the past couple of weeks, I have been purposely spending less and less […]
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 have a sore throat and a slight fever. Keeping myself healthy in these last remaining weeks of the pregnancy is high priority, so I will be taking it easy today. Here’s something to make up for the lack of posts: an animated GIF of Claire’s ham face: How can you look at this and […]
Remember Cloudy? No? Let’s see if this picture of Claire crotch-punching Cloudy rings a bell: I keep forgetting how TINY Claire used to be! She is now more than twice Cloudy’s size. You can read all about Cloud’s origins here, including the hilarious story behind her name. 🙂 Lately we have been keeping Cloudy near Claire’s diaper […]
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.
