After almost 1.5 weeks of 8 months sleep regression, Steve and I welcomed the long weekend with open arms! We have survived yet another sleep regression, yay! Although this one wasn’t as bad as her 4 months one, it was still very exhausting. So, so glad to have our good sleeper back! My parents visited forRead More
Mother’s Day
Even though we celebrated my first Mother’s Day last year when Em was in my belly, part of my identity as a mother definitely felt more real this time around. We were in Chicago visiting, so it was very suiting to have celebrated my first real Mother’s Day with family. We started the day withRead More
Horseshoe Farm
One of the greatest things about living in North Carolina is that there’s so much greenery everywhere you go! It’s completely opposite from the city life we used to live back in Chicago and Baltimore. We are surrounded by tons of different trails and small parks with an open field like the Horseshoe Farm weRead More
Cheers to a New Decade!
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, I turned 30 years old! My fruitful 20’s are long gone, and I have entered into real adulthood. 😉 I read somewhere that your 20’s are for experimenting and making mistakes whereas in your 30’s, you should get your shit, act together. No denying that I did my fair share ofRead More
Real Mom Talk: Mommy Guilt
I don’t think any parent in this world is completely satisfied with their way of child rearing. Like every parent, I do my hardest to provide the best care for Em. With plethora of child rearing opinions we see and hear from others, I always end up second guessing myself on how I’m doing as a mother. Sometimes,Read More
Baltimore/DC Visit
A couple of weeks ago, we headed to Baltimore for my work because I needed to be in the office. Of course I brought Em along since I couldn’t be away from her for a whole week, and my parents were dying to see her again. My mom even watched her while I was at the office. SuperRead More
Six Months Postpartum Update
Hooray! We kept her alive for 6 months! ;D I’m joking, she has been an absolute joy, and we cannot believe she is already 6 months old! I swear I’ll be saying that every time she gets older. Little miss Emma has been growing like crazy! At 6 months, she is checking in at 17 lbsRead More
Real Mom Talk: Sleep Regression Sucks
Although I don’t have any previous experience with babies, I think Em was/is a great sleeper for the most part. I know I talked about never getting enough sleep in the previous posts, but that’s pretty normal and expected for parents with newborns. Now, we weren’t as lucky as those whose babies slept through theRead More
Emma’s 100th Day Celebration!
In Korean culture, we celebrate baby’s 100th day after birth. Unfortunately it was common back in the day for babies to pass away due to sicknesses, so the 100th day celebrates life and achieving this significant milestone. I have also heard that the 100th day also celebrates parents of the baby as well since the firstRead More
Cheers to Another Year Well Spent!
Happy (super) belated New Year everyone! Can you believe that 2015 is long gone and we are off to a start of another year? I cannot tell you enough, it’s crazy how time flies! I started this blog at the end of last year, and looking back on everything that has happened in 2015, itRead More
