This week is Breastfeeding Week, so in honor of that I thought I’d write about my experience and breastfeeding journey. My son is now 8 months old, and he’s exclusively breastfed and I can’t believe he’s that old and I’ve been able to breastfeed him for this long! I think most moms who want to […]

A Life (since becoming a mom) Update
It’s been a while since I’ve written! But motherhood is going great so far. It just feels hard not being able to have people over and not being able to go out much because of Covid-19. Thankfully, I’m in South Korea, where the virus is being handled pretty well. We’ve had a few outbreaks, but […]

Being Pregnant in Korea – Part 1
So I thought I’d do a little pregnancy update! I’m a week away from entering the third trimester and can hardly believe it. In some ways, it’s gone by quickly, and in others, it feels like it’s been dragging on. I’ve never been pregnant anywhere else, but I can definitely explain what it’s like being […]
I’m Pregnant!
I’m finally able to announce it to the world – I’m pregnant and due in November 2019! Junkyu and I are so excited and it sometimes still doesn’t feel real. We have been married for three years now and I’ve had baby fever for a while. I knew I didn’t want us to have kids […]
