My Rocking Cradle

As we are going to the Philippines mid of September, this week is Little Dynamo’s last week in school.
This will be his last week to wait for the school bus.
This will be the last time he will wear his school uniform.
Till next year…

My toddler and I are going to the Philippines mid-September. With a pregnant belly and without hubby around, I couldn’t carry much baggage so we decided that we avail of the My Pasalubong service - a door to door service for OFWs to the Philippines.
Good thing, I still have the Sambayanan newsletter which I got [...]

I will be on my 25th week tomorrow. Yesterday, I weighed 56.10kg.
I stopped wearing jeans on my second or third month, but I can’t exactly remember when. To begin with, I am not really a jeans person.
While preparing for our trip to the Philippines, I checked on all of hubby’s jeans… which to retain.. which [...]

I had my first taste of receiving my toddler’s progress report yesterday.
I was so filled with excitement. I didn’t think this was coming. Of course, he got all 4s (above average) and 5s (excellent). The teacher’s comment was very positive and encouraging, as well. I happily reported this to my husband during our chat last night [...]

I sleep soundly when hubby is at home. That is to say, I don’t sleep until he comes home. So, when he’s out with colleagues after office hours I can’t bring myself to sleep until he’s on the bed with me.
What do I do when he’s out on business trips? I hardly sleep! Sleep eludes [...]

So, what is VUR? VUR stands for vesicoureteral reflux - this is a pediatric condition that allows urine to flow backwards - from the bladder to the kidneys - through one or both of the connecting tubes (ureters).
I have never heard of VUR before nor have known of any child diagnosed with this condition so [...]

Little Dynamo and I had a movie date last Friday.
I know how he loves dinosaurs. His dinosaur toys are everywhere in the house. They even accompany him on the dining table. So, when I checked on the movies last week and saw that Ice Age 3: the Dawn of the Dinosaurs was showing, we just [...]

I have always assumed that I can only travel until my 32 weeks of pregnancy. Beyond 32 weeks, I will be rejected by the airline. I guess, I assumed this because of my experience when I travelled with Philippine Airlines during my first pregnancy. I finally verified it with the Korean Air website and got this good news:
Travel [...]

My pregnant body succumb to an early sleep last night… the earliest since my husband left for his monthlong business trip.
Our Wednesday playgroup scheduled an afternoon of fun at the swimming pool. We chose a newly-opened pool along the Han River. It isn’t fully-developed yet so we had to content ourselves parking a good 500 [...]

I have blogged before about the safety and convenience of the transportation system here in Seoul and since our family of three rarely goes out of town unless well-meaning friends invite us (and drive us around), we have not had any reason to get a car. This is going to change, however. With another baby coming [...]
