<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My baby isn't a baby anymore. She's a toddler! It all happened so fast. I remember when we brought her home from the hospital. Those first initial months felt SO long. I often wondered when she will be old enough to sleep through the night, feed herself, start talking, walking etc. How foolish of me not to cherish and live in the moment because time really does pass by quickly and now I wish I could turn back time and relive those moments. She is now talking non-stop. She's very kind and sweet to others. Yesterday I took her to the library and before we left she proceeded to give every single kid in the toddler corner a hug. I felt that some parents might not like her hugging their kid so I told Eme to give them a high five instead. So she gave them high fives, even the kid that shoved her head. My prayer daily for Eme is to continue being sweet and compassionate towards others. I also pray that she may learn to know God's love share that with others. </span></div>

I had a list of things I wanted to do during this break, however I only managed to complete a few:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strike>Playdate with a friend and her daughter</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strike>Sushi Gen lunch with husband</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visit friend who recently had a baby (happening tomorrow)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strike>Do something crafty (e.g. make more bibs, hair barrettes)</strike></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cook more</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clean and organize closet</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do some work (It's IEP season y'all)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visit grandma and parents</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clean kitchen</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get manipedi</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See a chiropractor</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each day I have a list of things to do, but I tell ya, time goes by so fast! Next thing you know it's time to pick up Eme from daycare, feed her dinner, give her a bath, put her down for the night and then make myself and Tim some dinner. Tomorrow I'm going to try to clean and organize my closet. Forget the manipedi- got no time or money for that. The rest on the list I'll get to by the end of this week except for making an appt with a chiropractor (not gonna happen until work ends). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time is flying by so fast! She's going to be 6 months in 6 days. Besides marrying my husband, having my baby was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm starting to understand God's unconditional love for us through the love I have for my daughter. I hurt when she hurts and I'm happy when she's happy. I only want the best for her and I worry about her ALL. THE. TIME. Being a mother gives me an insight into how much He loves us too. Although I like to think of my love for my baby as unconditional, His love for us is the true definition of unconditional and again I am humbled. </span>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514861274401764672.post-57125894490319367292013-05-16T14:18:00.003-07:002013-05-16T23:22:00.274-07:00Family<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally got a family photo!

</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As much as I love hanging out with Eme all day long, it can be tiring and at times isolating. Your time is dictated by their feeding and nap/sleep schedules. In the beginning they are feeding every 2 hours and it's impossible to get out of the house. I've been cooped up inside the house for 2.5 months. Toward the end of the 2nd month I started to venture out a little going on walks here and there. I even took her to the market via baby carrier. Month 3 is looking much better. I joined a few local mommy meetup groups and attended 2 events so far. One is a group that strolls around LACMA every Friday and the other meets up at local parks or other baby/kid-friendly places such as The Grove or someone's house. These meetups are great because it gets you out of the house and you get to meet other local women in the same life stage as you! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't drive with Eme past a 2 mile radius unless Tim is with me, but I think I'm ready to trek further than that (without Tim). We'll see, hopefully by the end of this month I could take Eme with me to meet up with friends in the Valley, OC and LB. </span><br />

For the past two days my babe has been showing me CLEAR signs of sleepiness. She'll rub her eyes a lot and eventually she will start whimpering. I quickly swaddle her, lay her down in the crib and within seconds she's knocked out. No twinkle twinkle little star sung, no shush/pat, no rocking or holding. As I write this I am aware that I'm jinxing myself, but like I wrote in the previous post, this is AMAZING. Not too long ago (last week) I was reading 5 different books on naps/sleep training. None of them seem to really help. Maybe all she needed was time? Or reflux medication? I don't know, all I know is I'm thankful. So so so thankful. Let's keep this up!</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She's 3 months now and these are some new things that happened this month:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">laughing out loud</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">napping longer than 30 minutes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bearing weight on feet</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shoving whole fist in mouth</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">clasping hands together</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've also seen an increased amount of:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">cooing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">smiling</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">kicking legs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">drooling</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She continues to take Zantac twice a day (1.5 mL) and I think that it's helping her. She's spitting up less and in general seems to be in a better mood. I also don't see her regurgitating cottage cheese-like spit up that smells really sour/acidic. The only thing is that Zantac tastes terrible and she hates it when we give it to her. I tried to look into getting it flavored, but we have to get a new prescription for that and the pharmacy near our home does not flavor medication. boo. </span></div>

Before my babe came along I had no idea that babies needed daytime naps. Of course I knew that they sleep a lot, but little did I know that naps are necessary. Eme has been struggling with naps for almost 2 months. I was able to put her down for a nap, but the trouble was having her sleep longer than 30-45 minutes. I've read that babies have sleep cycles that last approximately 45 minutes and often have a hard time consolidating them. Well, I don't know if it's her age or just a one time miracle, but she slept for 90 minutes! She stirred around the 45 minute mark, but after 5 minutes she fell back asleep and I did not intervene. This. is. amazing. Amazing because just yesterday she was waking up crying every 30 minutes and needed to be shushed/patted back down. Maybe the acid reflux medication is helping her or maybe it's because she's almost 100 days old. Whatever it is, I hope it continues. She is a happier baby when she gets a good nap. About the 100 day thing- it's Korean tradition to celebrate a baby's 100th day because back in the day so many babies died before their 100th day. So this weekend we celebrate her 100th day, yay!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her face is almost done peeling from baby acne. I was so stressed when baby acne suddenly appeared overnight, but her pediatrician said it's very common and should go away within a few weeks. My life has drastically changed, but I'm loving it so much. She's such a joy and I die every time she smiles at me. I'm still amazed by it all. Never knew how hard taking care of a newborn would be. It's damn hard, but so rewarding. </span></div>

I can't believe I'm so close to meeting my baby. I'm super excited! In the meantime I've been trying to keep myself busy with a few projects. I decided to give my niece and nephews their Christmas gifts in handmade stockings. I also made stockings for my in-laws and brother-in-law. The only 2 left that I still need to make would be for me and my husband. Here are the stockings:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tim and I often talk about who Emerson will look like. Will she be a combo of both Tim and me or will she look more like Tim or more like me? I think Tim was such a cute baby and he's so handsome to me right now so if she looked like her dad, then I would be happy. There are certain things that I really hope she inherits from Tim such as his height, his slim-fit body, and his hands. However, I wouldn't mind if she had my eyes or my nose (even though I hated my nose growing up). I think Emerson might be born with a full head of hair. In both our baby pictures, we both have major fro action going on, lol. </span><br />

I thought I would blog at least every week during my pregnancy to document this experience, but unfortunately blogging was the last thing I felt like doing. Now, I'm fairly close to my due date and before I completely neglect this blog ( i hope i don't), here are a few pictures of my baby bump in no particular order. </span><br />

I absolutely love sushi and used to eat it at least once a week. I hope to go to Japan one day to eat at Sukiyabashi Jiro. If you're a sushi lover like me you must watch <i>Jiro Dreams of Sushi</i> (watch instantly through netflix.com). </span><br />

Finally got to try Pok Pok and unfortunately it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I had high expectations because I read about it so much and waited a year to go there. The wings were too sweet/salty/sticky. Just too much sauce going on. Everything else was good, but not worth waiting a year for.

One of my favorite things to do is to sit silently in front of a Rothko</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">for 10 minutes. I get absorbed into the painting, the color, the scale and everything else doesn't matter in that moment. Art is a tricky thing...it's subjective. For example, my husband finds Judy Fox sculptures that I posted about weird and gross. I find them beautiful and interesting. Some think Mark Rothko's paintings are easy to do. They say, "anyone can do them, just give me some paint and a canvas". I think he's a genius and a master color theorist. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On another note, I started my internship this week. I knew I would be tired, but I didn't realize just how tired I would be. I just need to get used to waking up at 5:30am and being on my feet all day. Aside from my calves getting a workout my brain is pumping some major iron as well. I am trying to soak in everything I can. Honestly, I am really enjoying my internship. I enjoy being with the other interns, observing/learning from my CI and interacting pts. </span></span><br />

As I am walking downstairs to head out the door I hear my mom say, "oh my god, oh my god". I go back up to see if she's okay. I see my parents glued to the T.V. and I ask them what's going on. I then see the footage and for a second think that my parents are watching a movie only to realize it wasn't. As each second goes by I am becoming more shocked, sad and scared, especially when I see footage of people jumping out of World Trade Center. When I went to school there were school personnel motioning us to turn around to go home. I don't think anyone would have been able to concentrate that day. The world was in a state of shock. In the following days after 9.11, I remember watching the news whenever I could to see if the firefighters were able to rescue people from the rubble.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think a lot of people remember what they were doing moments leading up to finding out. It's been 10 years since 9.11. It's amazing how resilient humans are and how brave we can be in the face of such tragedy. My prayer goes out to friends and families lost. </span>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514861274401764672.post-10859584738213603842011-09-07T08:12:00.001-07:002011-09-10T10:37:26.375-07:002 yearsIn Paris 2 years ago I saw jazz shoes that I was dying to get however, the price tag was too much for me to handle. I left Paris hoping that I would come across a pair of Oxford/jazz flats that would make my heart skip a beat. Yesterday after 2 years of looking and waiting I finally found the one. <br />

I want to cook them breakfast, lunch and dinner and take them to best eats in town that are usually not conducive to a healthy diet. This visitor has stayed with us for 1 1/2 months and she'll be leaving in 2 days. Although I'm sad to send her back home, I'm really looking forward to eating clean and shedding the extra padding I've put on since she's been here. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To keep me on track, here are some things I plan to implement:</span></span><br />
<ol><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">start off the day with a healthy breakfast</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">hit the gym 5 times a week ,an hour each session</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">reduce carb intake</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">don't eat past 6pm</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">eat out only once a week</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">take multivitamin every day </span></span></li>
</ol><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My goal by the end of September is to be 8 lbs lighter. </span></span>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514861274401764672.post-84797629085859394122011-08-20T23:12:00.000-07:002011-08-21T12:51:27.059-07:00Son of a Gun<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I love Animal so I had a feeling I would like Son of a Gun too. I wish portions were larger and prices were lower, but other than that I loved pretty much everything we ordered. I like how they have a communal table for folks without reservations seated on first-come first-served basis. Even Emily Blunt didn't have reservations to the coveted Son of a Gun as she sat next to us at the communal table looking like one of us "regular" folks. </span>Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514861274401764672.post-11098273783935927482011-08-16T20:29:00.001-07:002011-08-16T20:29:40.777-07:00Dessert<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/16/4453.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/16/s_4453.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514861274401764672.post-44805469922426087452011-08-15T18:47:00.001-07:002011-08-15T18:47:42.028-07:00Waiting for hubby to get home<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/15/4651.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/15/s_4651.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514861274401764672.post-83765470098827119912011-08-13T21:33:00.001-07:002011-08-13T21:33:06.697-07:00Saturday night in ktown <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/13/5307.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/13/s_5307.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854649801063906576noreply@blogger.com0
