These two girls think that this guy is the #1 dad in the world. Well, probably not K since she tends to cry whenever Jason smiles at her. And E is also a little bit scared of Jason sometimes since he’s the strict one between the two of us. But they both love him and that’s all that matters. To me, Jason is a great dad. Sure, there are times when we don’t quite agree on how to approach certain parenting issues that come up but we always find a compromise. For the most part, we want the same things for our kids and weRead More →

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 →

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 →

37 weeks. I’ve finally hit full term this week and it has not been the smoothest trip so far. I’ve spent the past two weeks sick with a cold I caught from E. Getting sick this late in the pregnancy can do a lot of things to the body. A lot of unpleasant things, which is why I haven’t had the energy to blog or do much on the internet. I’m still quite out of it these days. Still trying to recover from being sick as well as struggling through all the uncomfortable bits of being at full term. And the wait…It’s really starting toRead More →

Ah, the third trimester. Oh how I've forgotten how miserable you can make me feel… It's hard to believe just how big I've gotten in these past 3 months. Here I am at the beginning of November And here I am at the beginning of December And this is me now (yes, I got a haircut) These past few weeks, I feel like I suddenly popped out a lot and its been uncomfortable. Everything I do feels cumbersome. Even sleeping has been difficult since I can't toss and turn as easily without feeling the baby's weight shift from side to side. Daily chores like cleaningRead More →
