Welcome to Motherhood... this is my online journal to share my experiences.

The last 7 years have been filled with the antics of my precious little man Sean. Now it will be the fun filled stories of not only my continued journey through motherhood, but Sean's journey as a big brother, and seeing the world through Andrew's eyes.

Whole Lot Of Cooking Go On...

It's been a day of grocery shopping with my mom and my brother, Chris. Went to Hong Kong Market, Central Market and Target to load up on groceries. Let the cooking frenzy begin!! (Even Sean is in on the action)

Andrew Adjusting To Home


I don't know if it's the fact we're 7 years older or this is baby number two or maybe Andrew's just a REALLY good baby. Whatever the reason this time around seems to be alot easier. I know we're only a few days into it, but he's been just an absolute dream. Sean absolutely adores his baby brother (just like his daddy, who you will have to practically fight to be able to hold Andrew). I'm still soaking in the fact I now how two adorable boys.

Sean's Green Belt Black Stripe Ceremony

Sean's Belt Ceremony was last night and he officially received his next belt rank - Green Belt Black Stripe. Now Sean will be working towards his Blue Belt. Just four more belts to earn/achieve before his Black Belt.

We are SO proud of Sean!!!

Sean's Green Belt Black Stripe Test

Sean tested for his green belt black stripe Saturday. Since I was in the hospital with our newest family member, Andrew, this is the first test I didn't get to see. Michael took plenty of pictures, but this one was most impressive to me. He has gotten so good at his kicks over the last 2 years. I can't wait to see how he continues to improve as he approaches his black belt.

Andrew's Coming Today

Glad I prepared last night... woke up a few times and had contractions, but I was able to go back to sleep. Woke up this morning around 5am contracting. In my usual OCD fashion of wanting to be prepared I figured I'd go ahead and take a shower (just in case) and go about my morning. Finished up Sean's laundry so Michael would have all of Sean's uniforms for school and Tae Kwon Do set out. Made Sean's lunch for school and finished packing my bag.

Once everyone left for school and work decided to buy Burlesque on pay per view and start timing my contractions (found a cool app on my Android phone to do it)... every 6-8 minutes for 2 hours!!! Finally decided to call the doctor's office. Fortunately the on call doctor saw no reason to keep me pregnant for a couple more days and now I'm waiting for Michael to come get me so we can see Andrew today :)
