Pre-Daddy Ditties

Okay it has been a month since I wrote the previous blogs and Jooae is pretty much out of the ‘morning’ sickness stage. She is still not crazy about food (and forget about vitamins). Since we have now gotten to this place, I want to give a shout out to something I couldn’t have [...]

We had our first ultrasound today. Once again I was armed with only the knowledge gained from TV (see ‘Morning’ Sickness is a Lie) about ultrasounds. On TV they are these fuzzy pictures that no one can really decipher except for the doctor. Armed with this incredibly sound knowledge, I went into [...]

I won’t go in depth here, since there may be tender ears that I do not want to impinge upon, but let us just say that when we decided that we wanted to ‘try’ to get pregnant, there was quite a whirlwind of activity, if you catch my drift. [...]
