Hi world!
I know, it’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything. Is it just me or is 2018 flying by?
We’ve had so many beloved family and friends asking about our not-so-little-anymore miracle boy and his progress post-surgery. Now that we are nearly three months post-op, it’s due time that I sent out a little update.
Long story, short…he’s doing REALLY well! PTL! 🙂 Read more…
The older I get, the more I am learning how to appreciate and truly enjoy my Korean heritage. Two factors also help – the fact that I married a guy who was born and raised in South Korea and…my very, VERY Korean grandmother. 🙂 For those of you with a Korean g-ma, you know what I’m talking about!
Anywho, last month was our little boy’s first birthday! And I spent weeks and weeks waist-high in glitter, hot glue guns, polyester filling, and beans. But it was completely worth it. You’ll see what I mean below. Read more…
It’s been a while since I’ve written an update on Josiah here on the blog and a lot has happened! Over the last six weeks, most days have felt like that popular parenting quote – “the days are long, but the years are short” – or however it goes. There are days when I feel like all I have done is feed and keep a little human alive, and if I’ve showered or brushed my teeth, it’s been a REALLY good day.
But then there are those magical moments…those I-just-want-to-freeze-time-is-this-really-my-life moments…and the gratitude just overflows. These are the wonderful things that I could only dream about when we were in the NICU. And now, we are actually living this dream. Here are some of the highlights below…
This is literally a miracle. Josiah is now almost TEN pounds. Double digits, people! I remember the times in the NICU when we were just rooting for him to get to three pounds. When I look at this then-and-now picture, I can’t even find the words. So beyond thankful for those chubby cheeks and fingers! Read more…
It’s finally and already December! October leaves and pumpkin spiced everything had me eagerly anticipating the holiday season, but then Thanksgiving rolled around just like that and we are now all suddenly in the mad dash towards Christmas (and everything else that needs to get done and be enjoyed by the end of the year!).
It’s easy to get caught up in the rush, but I’ve decided to (try) to do things a little differently this year – take this December like a good piece of dark chocolate (biting off a little at a time and savoring every moment of it). 🙂 Read more…
