We’ve having more issues on the baby front. I’m too stressed and drained to blog. I’ll be back when things get better. (And if anyone has any recommendations on how to get a baby to nap more than 30 mins at a time so that she’s not tired and cranky the entire day, I’d love […]
I didn’t mean to offend anyone with my last post. I think I may have made a mistake by choosing to title the post “Keepin’ it Real,” because it was not my intention to imply that my blog is more “real” or better than any other blogs out there. Yes, this blog is real because […]
A couple of weeks ago, I posed the following question on Facebook and Twitter: How do my internet mommy friends make the time to Facebook, Twitter, AND blog? I feel like I can only do one consistently without losing even more sleep. Admittedly, I didn’t get as many responses as I had hoped. (Sometimes I […]
I must have looked especially haggard yesterday morning, because as soon as J woke up he announced, “I’ll take over. Go sleep. NOW.” (I love this man.) Knowing that the baby was in good hands with her doting father, I gathered the dog into my arms and snuggled up in bed. I took a wonderful […]
Just in case you weren’t aware, today marks an important holiday for the Asian community: lunar new year. This year is the year of the rabbit, and while I hardly pay attention to astrology (western or eastern), I can’t help but share this awesomely cute picture with you: (image source) Because today is such an […]
Last week we took Claire in for her 4-month checkup. Our pediatrician declared the baby perfectly normal and healthy for her age…but voiced her concern at Claire’s weight gain. When Claire was born, she weighed 6.7 lbs (23rd percentile) and was 19 inches long (33rd percentile). Currently, Claire weighs 14.6 lbs and is 22.75 inches […]
Ever since Claire hit 15 weeks of age (she is now 17 weeks old), she has been becoming increasingly difficult to deal with each passing day. I had read about the dreaded 4-month sleep regression and realized that our child was a classic case: instead of waking up only once or twice in the night, […]
We’re not exactly sure why Claire was in such a good mood today (if only she were like this every day!), but we didn’t dare jinx it by even questioning why. We took it all in stride, enjoying every last minute, and when she went into a 3- minute long laughing frenzy, J scrambled for […]
I have a love/hate relationship with weekly emails from BabyCenter. If you are pregnant, or are a parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about. By this week your baby is… And you read on to feel smug if your baby has already reached that milestone/developmental stage, or you are ashamed and feel like the […]
Last Saturday, our beloved Ravens were booted out of the playoffs. It was an especially disappointing loss because not only did they lose to their #1 rivals after a first half that looked more than promising, it was Claire’s first NFL playoffs and we had ordered a baby cheerleader outfit just for the occasion. This […]
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.
