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.

Adjusting To A Baby In The House

I may be jinxing myself blogging about this, but I'm going to enjoying while I can {and certainly share that joy}. Andrew is such a GOOD baby. When you have a newborn and decide to nurse you're told to nurse them every 2-3 hours. A couple of times while we were in the hospital due to pediatrician rounds and such, Andrew had gone 6 hours between feedings {needless to say, not very comfortable for mommy}. Day/Night 1 at home I continued the 2-3 hour feedings, however, when I got a little preoccupied prior to one of the feedings noticed Andrew happily went 4 hours between feedings. Day/Night 2 & 3... I decided to wake Andrew up every 2-3 hours to feed during the day and left him alone for the night to see what he would do... viola!!! I've only gotten up once both nights. His first feeding of the morning he eats REALLY well because of the long stretch then he stays up and alert for about 30 minutes {very quietly I might add} and settles into his every 2-3 hour routine.

Brotherly Love

To say Sean loves his brother would be an understatement. Sean is SO in love with his baby brother I can't even express it in words. It is the sweetest thing to Sean cuddle his baby brother and be so protective. This morning Sean didn't want to get out of bed, instead he asked me if I could turn on some cartoons and if he could hold his brother. Since spring break started for Sean today, he is leisurely laying in bed right now with his daddy, while he cuddles his baby brother.

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!!!
