A Study in Pregnancy Guilt: Coffee
I’m pretty clueless about the whole pregnancy thing. Among my close friends and family, I am the first person to have a baby in a really long time. The last baby I spent a lot of time around – my cousin Maddie – was born in 2000, and no, I can’t recall a lot more […]
To raise a baby abroad in Korea or not to raise a baby abroad in Korea
That is decidedly a very specific question. But it’s one that has been coming up a lot lately in our house. It’s no secret to friends and family that ever since B and I returned from Korea back in March we have been missing it a lot. Let me just get it out of the […]
Nom Nom of the Week: Blueberry Bars
I’ve been working hard to eat healthy throughout my pregnancy. I add spinach to nearly everything and I buy organic (and intend to continue doing so after the birth) and drink several cowfuls of milk a day (actually that last one is just a lucky craving.) The sweet tooth that many pregnant women speak of […]
Pregnancy Dreams of the Deranged Variety
We’ve now made it to the second trimester – YAY! I am looking forward to all the good things the next three months will hopefully bring: desire to eat normal food, a bit more energy, and (can I say this?), a renewed interest in sex. Needless to say, the last week has been nice, with […]
As if this were the only reason our baby will be awesome
Monday I finally saw my sweet lil’ perfect globule! Most exciting moment possibly EVER. Definitely on par with making a walk down the aisle, if that’s your cup o’ tea. I was so giddy and nervous at the same time to see Bebe because, well, I’m meeting my and B’s miracle! And so do you […]
Kindly Don’t Trash My Baby’s Air
I’ve always heard that pregnant and elderly people can get away with telling people off in public like no one else. I am personally looking forward to getting really big because then along with my growing belly I will’ve grown a big set of cajones that will enable me to tell people how I really […]
Why Subway is Better Than American Healthcare
In the women’s health industry, pregnancy-based issues are considered especially great opportunities for subjective misery. In Fayetteville, the particularly irate woman who is subject to these miseries comprises an individual squad known as Emily. This is her story. So yesterday we finally made the trip to the OB-GYN to see what exactly is going on. Do […]
All Hail Emily, Queen of the Muffin Top
It was bound to happen eventually. I am nearing the end of my first trimester, after all. I have known that at some point I would have to part with my normal, cute wardrobe. And I dreaded it, not out of a fear of pregnant corpulence but because I like my clothes. But it’s started: I […]
Perfect Weekend
Friends. Beaches. Korean food. I wish many things for Bebe when (s)he arrives. Although my hopes for my baby are all based in what (s)he finds solace in, I can’t help but think that her life will surely be made better by good friends, trips to the beach, and joy of all joys, Korean food. […]
Tackiness: The New Horizon
Today we are going to take a little break from the topic of Bebe and address something that has become a major pet peeve in my life, the likes of which have not been matched since I first saw the trend of girls wearing cutoffs that were so short that the pockets were visible below […]
