It’s already June, eh? Time sure flies by fast especially when there’s a baby around. Wondering how everyone is coming along? Well, we’re still hanging in there. – K – These days, K is sleeping through the night (made easier by the fact that we co-sleep with her). She’s a bit fussier than when she was first born but she’s still a lot easier to calm than E ever was. It’s hard to believe that next week she will be 4 months old next week. She’s also mastering the art of tummy time and has flipped over a few times, though I’m never sure if it’sRead More →

I just wanted to say thanks for all your comments about your kid’s exposure on your blogs. It gave me some things to think about and after giving it some thought, I think I’m just going to leave my blog the way it is now. I’ll probably post less pictures of the kids when I share their stories but everything else would be as it always has been. Part of the reason I started blogging was to share my stories with people who want to read them. I know that there are risks involved now that I share so much about K and E butRead More →

Wow, 10 years. Today marks the 10th year I’ve been blogging. That’s a decade of my life. And to think, I started the whole blogging thing back in 2003 as a joke and to goof around. Never would I have ever thought that I’d still be doing it 10 years later. I’m not blogging as much as I did but that’s also because blogging takes up a lot of time, something I don’t have as much of now that Child is here. (FYI, we call E, “daughter” and Kay, “child”) Still, I like to get in a post every now and then just so friendsRead More →

Wow, two posts in one month! It’s amazing whenever I get a post written these days let alone 2 in one month. My time away from the blog is a good thing though because I’m spending that time with my kids, especially Kaylie. The first year of a baby’s life goes by so quickly that I’m trying to savor every minute of it as much as possible because I won’t get another chance to once she’s out of the baby phase. Kay has grown so much in the 10 weeks she’s been here. Whenever I flip through photos I’ve taken in the past few weeks,Read More →

Right now, I can’t recall what day of the week it is. They all blur together for me. Right now, I am very sleep deprived. Why I’m up writing a blog post instead of sleeping is beyond me. Right now, I’m holding a sleeping Kaylie. She spent most of last night and all day today fussing and crying despite having a clean diaper and being fed. She didn’t sleep well and neither did we. Right now, I’m still not sure why my newborn who was fairly easy for the past few weeks suddenly became so difficult and incredibly fussy and inconsolable. Right now, a massageRead More →

Has it really been a month already? It seems like time has blurred together these days. I guess that just how these hazy, newborn days are…just one big sleep deprivation blur. Luckily, my in-laws were here for a month to help us adjust to life with a newborn. They entertained E and held K while Jason and I got some rest as well as stuff done. But they left for home Sunday night and now it’s just the four of us. Things are going to be interesting from now on. I’m just glad Jason is home at nights again since he was scheduled to workRead More →

Ah, life with a newborn again. It’s actually not so bad this time around since Kaylie is an easier baby than Ellie was. Still, I miss the days when I could sleep more than an hour at night. Luckily enough, I am recovering pretty well. In fact, I seem to be recovering much faster this time around. I wonder if the fact that I had Kaylie completely natural and drug free might have something to do with the quick recovery. Plus, my in-laws are in Tokyo to help us out with the kids, which gives me time to get some rest. So while I amRead More →

Guess what? She’s here! Meet the newest member of our family, Kaylie. She was born Sunday, February 17th at 2:07pm. Her weight was 3318g and 49.5cm, a much bigger baby compared to E. We were discharged from the hospital yesterday after a 4 day stay so we’re still adjusting to the changes to everything. More about her birth later. For now it’s time to feed her…again.  Read More →
