New Chapter
Thursday, October 18th, 2007So now that things have kinda settled into a routine. I’m slowly trying to get used to our routine. Having my mother-in-law at home makes the sleepless nights bearable. The hubby and I wake up every 2-3 hours depending on when Connor wakes up to get …
Photo Ops
Saturday, October 13th, 2007We were visiting him at the NICU here. This was also our first official family photo since we never took one when he first came out.
This was taken last week.
He was being grumpy here cause his Papa is strapping him in the car seat.
Here are some [not …
Motherhood
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007So when I was in the hospital, they discovered that he has jaundice. I know it’s pretty common but for some reason, I was really worried. I had hoped to take him home when I was discharged but he had to stay a couple of days so he …
And two became three–the birth story
Thursday, October 4th, 2007How it all started…
So Friday, Sept. 28th, my water broke around 2 AM. I thought that I had peed myself so I ran to the bathroom and tried to check if it’s pee or my water and sure enough it was my water. I was so nervous and …
Connor Anthony is here!
Monday, October 1st, 2007Here’s the new addition! Born Friday, September 28, 2007. 6 lbs. 15 ounces. 21 inches.
Birth story soon to follow. Mom and baby are doing well.
Just a girl
Monday, September 24th, 2007So even though I’m pretty much home most days, I still put on make-up (only when we go out of course), I did my nails (you never know!) and I’m getting an eyebrow waxing tomorrow (hee-hee). I figured, I won’t be able to keep up with these girly rituals …
The waiting game
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007My baby is officially full-term and I started my maternity leave today. I originally was thinking of not stopping until the end of September but I really didn’t have any idea that I was already qualified for disability 4 weeks before I’m due. So that’s what Bev was …
A time of reflection
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007Now that the parties are over, as I look around our place and see all the furniture, the clothes and other baby knick knacks we’ve gotten from friends and family, I get goose bumps. We truly feel lucky and blessed that so many people are waiting anxiously for this …
Flick-o-rama
Friday, September 7th, 2007I decided to try out the Pro version of Flickr and see how it is for a year. I figured once this baby gets born the easiest way to share pictures is through that. If family members and other friends ask, I can direct them there instead of …
Excitement is building
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007This past weekend, we did a lot and I’m quite happy about that. Although we’re not totally done, we’re pretty close. The crib is pretty much ready. The mattress came in last Friday. The changing table is set. The glider and ottoman should come …
Celebrating Baby
Thursday, August 30th, 2007So Friday night, we headed down to the airport around 8:30 PM for our flight. Our flight was delayed by a few minutes so we ended up getting to LAX around 11:30 PM. Luckily, it was an uncrowded flight (everyone had A grouping) but we were able to …
Getting ready for baby
Monday, August 20th, 2007This past weekend was a busy one. So I’m sure you know that we’re looking for a car. Well, last Saturday out patience finally paid off. We were originally gonna go with Costco or Autoland (via our credit union) but they were closed on the weekends. We …
Welcome baby Mina!
Friday, August 17th, 2007MsHekmi was a patient mama. Her baby girl Mina is finally here!!! Congrats to you and Woody my dear. She’s so precious. 
Arts and Crafts
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007I’m kinda in a crafty mood. Last weekend (or the weekend before last), I started up on our wedding scrapbook again. Yes I know, it’s been almost 2 years and I still haven’t finished our wedding album. We never ordered an actual album cause it was expensive …
Just felt like sharing
Saturday, August 11th, 2007I haven’t uploaded some piano music for awhile. I just recorded this a few minutes ago. It’s one of my favorite songs from Yiruma called “Kiss the Rain”. Enjoy.

5-year plan
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007I’ve been thinking lately about my 5-year plan. Maybe it’s because of the impending birth I’m about to face. There’s nothing like a child to make you assess your current situation. Some of my plans include having another child (yes I know even though I haven’t had …
Now I can exhale
Saturday, August 4th, 2007So how do you like my new theme? I thought I’d change it up to kinda reflect my present state.
I know I’ve mentioned in the past few entries that I’ve been preoccupied with something. Well I’m glad to say that it’s all over. You have no idea how …
The calm before the storm
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Right now we’re just enjoying the time we have left alone together. Not that we haven’t been doing that for the past years but I guess now that we know it’s about to end soon, it just makes the time together so much sweeter. I think I’ve calmed down a …
The way we were
Monday, July 23rd, 2007All the current and upcoming changes in our lives has caused me to reflect on how far we’ve come as a couple. Sometimes I look at myself and think: “Where did the time go?” I still find it hard to believe that I’ve gone through high school, college, grad school …
I miss tennis
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007Last night Sacramento Capitals kicked butt!! Not only because Lindsay Davenport was there but there was this one phenom 14-year old that was really good! She hits really hard and she has great potential in my opinion. All I have to say is that Lindsay looked damn …
Still in pain
Thursday, July 19th, 2007So three doctors later, I’m still not exactly sure what’s causing my heel pain. It’s not plantar fasciitis so I’m not sure if it’s a heel spur either. It’s just weird how it’s localized in the middle and it’s a bit swollen and warm to the touch. It feels better …
Feliz Cumpleanos mi amor
Saturday, July 14th, 2007Today is the hubby’s 32nd birthday. (Hope he doesn’t get mad about me posting his age here) It’s also our 13th(!) bf-gf anniversary. Honestly I find it kinda silly that we still acknowledge/celebrate that but he said we’ll celebrate that until we’re old and gray so I …
Realizations
Monday, July 9th, 2007There are days when I couldn’t wait to see our child’s face but there are also days I dread that my days of freedom are numbered. People with children tell me to get as much sleep as I can but I can’t force myself to sleep at will. Still, I …
Can you stand the heat?
Thursday, July 5th, 2007I’m sure if you’re in CA you’re well aware of the heatwave that’s going on at the moment. It’s supposed to hit around 107F today in my area. I’m just *so* excited. Well at least I’ll be in doors majority of the time. I think I …
Some more registry fun
Sunday, July 1st, 2007We went to Target today to add some more stuff to our registry. I guess with Target we bought more of the little essentials like the layette, bottles, etc. We also bought some newborn clothing that I thought looked adorable for our baby’s “coming home” outfit. They …
Baby Boom has started
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007I’d like to congratulate Bev and Gary with their new baby boy!! Can’t wait to see his smiling little face.
Speaking of new babies, Keri Russell looks great for a new mom! I wish I can look even an inkling like her after giving birth.
La Familia
Monday, June 25th, 2007This past week, spending time with family just made me realize a lot of things. One of them being that no matter how you feel about your family (good or bad), they’ll always be your family. I know I gripe about them at times but when it comes …
Crunchtime
Friday, June 22nd, 2007Why is it that important things seem to happen when I’m not home? We’re in the process of refinancing our place *crosses fingers* and we have to do it soon so I’m trying to coordinate all these things while I was down here. Also, there’s been some minor …
Caribbean recap
Thursday, June 14th, 2007I have to say that overall, this was probably THE most relaxing vacation I’ve ever taken, perfect for a babymoon. As much as I enjoyed going to the other places we went to in the past, I don’t think it’s a good idea to run around so much catching …
A teaser
Monday, June 11th, 2007*Taken at Paradise Point in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
WE’RE BACK!!!
Last Hurrah—sort of
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007As I’m counting down to our vacation this weekend, I’m getting excited at the same time getting nervous. I like all the aspects of getting ready for vacation, yes even packing. Being the anal person that I am, I like to make sure that I have everything I need cause …
I made a vow
Thursday, May 24th, 2007Time really does fly. Before I go on, I am referring to our civil wedding. Five years ago today, after my first year of grad school, I married my soulmate. There were a lot of trials and tribulations at the time but one thing was certain, I …
Boy or Girl
Saturday, May 19th, 2007So yesterday we went for our Level 2 ultrasound to make sure that the baby is growing well. The level of detail in that ultrasound is truly amazing. I made sure that morning that my bladder was really full but I think I overdid it. When we got there, we …
Caribbean recommendations
Monday, May 14th, 2007So to those who have traveled to these places: (Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Martin), do you have any recommendations? So far we plan on snorkeling in St. Martin and visiting Atlantis Hotel in Nassau. We have a full day at St. Thomas and we plan to shop and go …
It changes you
Sunday, May 13th, 2007I’m sure if you’ve been reading my site for awhile you know that I was on the border when it came to having children. I originally REALLY wanted to have kids but then after getting engaged, then getting married, the reality of having children made me aware of things …
