Pumpin’ Strong

Mon, 09/03/2012 - 20:08 — ndamiano

,mHey lil E.

Today was a very momentous day. We heard your heart beat. This is the same heartbeat that will be pumping strong for the next century! It was an unbelievable sound. What was equally as amazing was that you were like a beautiful lightening bug blinking with every beat. Your heart at only 6 weeks beats at 119 bpm.

Passport Supersized

Sat, 09/01/2012 - 22:47 — ndamiano

As we prepped for our next trip at the end of the month I realized that I was running into an issue. My passport was about out of space which could in fact cause an issue. Having less than 4 pages could stop me from traveling in or out of the country and while being stuck on the shores of Boracay seems like a plan to me, Nicole, Eunee and the Baby-to-be thought otherwise.

Hey Lil, its Dad

Fri, 08/31/2012 - 19:08 — ndamiano

It wasn’t long ago that I started to imagine you in my life. I would sit and think about you and how important it was for me to be ready to welcome you into the world. I would always tell mommy I wanted everything to be perfect. I needed all the puzzle pieces together. I had some of the pieces already.

Fast and Furious Growth

Tue, 08/28/2012 - 09:30 — ndamiano

Our little “dot”

This is very cool. Daddy and I have a secret and everyday we walk around our big city trying to to burst and tell everyone you are inside!

You must be growing ALOT! During the day I am always starving and exhausted. I think it is because you are sleeping and grow more when you are asleep then awake.

You are just a little over 5 weeks but already wipe me of my energy, but it’s okay, I am loving my long naps (Eunee too)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Urban

Sun, 08/26/2012 - 14:14 — ndamiano

We were walking down the streets in Manhattan, NY. It was like one of those iconic moments where your camera takes a picture on its own. Although I have only been to NY twice, whereas my husband was brought up on the Island… I find it as fascinating as most! My mind imagines these crazy stories of the people and night life that takes place in the city.

How did this guitar get here? Was it a love serenade gone bad? Or time for an upgrade? Was it a dream made, maybe a small town girl like Coyote Ugly, finally made it in the city and traded in her old model in?

For the Love of the Game….

Fri, 08/24/2012 - 17:37 — ndamiano

When I was 6 years old, I suited up for my first little league baseball game. I’ll never forget it. My jersey was green with white trim on the collar and sleeves. My number was 6 and there was absolutely nothing better to me than getting my pants as covered in dirt as humanly possible. Win or lose, playing baseball was a time in my childhood that I will never forget.

Letter From Korea, August 2012

Dear Ireland

I’ve been kicking myself a little lately because even with so much free time on my hands, I don’t seem to be getting the same amount of work done that I would like to be getting done. In a recent post I ranted about having too many distractions and found it difficult to scratch things off my list. Things have gotten a little better – I think – and maybe it was the rant that allowed me to get much off my chest. Still productivity, or lack of, bothers me still.

Wed, 08/22/2012 - 18:40 — ndamiano

Every morning as I sit at the window, sipping on my coffee, I reflect on the deeper meanings in life. Sometimes I stare off into the great unknown and think…..”is that exhaust smoke or a…OH LORD JESUS!!! its a…..*cough, hmm…sorry, I digress. That was my ode to Sweet Brown..completely irrelevant but i’m such a sucker for autotune ….(click here) ;)

a little complaining never hurt anyone

Tue, 08/21/2012 - 18:43 — ndamiano

I know it might seem unbelievable, but we have bad days. Today, everything that we warned you about in our, I wish I’d known blog, has completely eaten away at me.  As an expat, sometimes we revert back to, In _______ (insert your home country here)… Today that is what I did. We have moments where we wish that the customs and attitudes and everything was the same, but then we remember there was a reason why we left and why we love where we have landed.

I am writing a disclaimer… I love living here. I love the country and the people…as you can tell from our blog and previous experiences. But at the moment I am having one of those days where I want to lose my mind!! I am sharing because that is what we do with blogs. Please know that if I read someone else’s blog that complained like this I would tell them to get over it, move on  and stop complaining… advice taken I promise.

Your first…first

Mon, 08/20/2012 - 20:33 — ndamiano

Today was a very special day. It was your first trip to the doctor, even at only 4 weeks and 1 day (we think). You are the little black spot inside of that white oval near the top of the picture.

Your doctor is a nice woman named Dr. Shin. She spoke a little English and gave us a cute book to keep track of your growth (and mine)

She said you were 2mm big. She said, “That dot is your preg.”

We already love you, our Preg.

Your Dad has nicknamed you little elephant (they are for good luck).

He wants to take a picture of you everyday so we can watch you grow.

Today is Day 16 we think.

superpowers.

Sat, 08/18/2012 - 11:47 — ndamiano

Ironically, while catching up on some less than happy news this morning online, I stumbled upon a clip from last years TED conference given by Ron Gutman on the hidden powers of smiling. I needed something more positive so I watched and was very interested in what smile studies have revealed about this hidden superpower we all possess. If you need a reason to tap into your powers today I think its worth a watch……

power smile ;)

flipside?

Thu, 08/16/2012 - 19:26 — ndamiano

not-so deep thoughts…

In life….there are 2 sides to every coin. Each decision we make has a flip side that may have required a bit of deliberation to make it the option we accept as our choice….and our path to happiness.

Back to Blogging!

Thu, 08/16/2012 - 19:23 — The Kimchi Queen
I just got back from a wonderful vacation on the East Sea and Andong. Nothing was really that gay, unfortunately. I did, however, go to the penis park near Samcheok. Ridiculous.
