4 months!
Today marks 4 months since Edward and Phillip were born! Having an infant (or two!) is one of those curious paradoxes where time passed too slowly and too quickly all at once. Every day I am amazed how much my two little guys have grown and changed (and sometimes wish they would change some more). Phillip is already rolling over from back to front ( Read more... ) -
Baby blues
I'm not going to lie, being a new parent is hard. Being a new parent with two babies? I'm not quite sure how I manage to cope at times. Thank goodness my mom is here, because otherwise I wouldn't eat, there would be no clean clothes and I would probably be curled up in the fetal position sobbing while two twin infants howled in the background.

Wonderfully terrifying
It's amazing to me how everyday I am in awe of these two perfect little people I have helped create, and yet at the same time be so terrified of screwing it all up. I guess that's part and parcel of being a new parent. I'm not ashamed to say that there has been crying and worry and stress, but everytime I see their little faces my heart just wants ( Read more... ) -
On having a "high risk" pregnancy
Hey all! While I don't really have any intention of turning my livejournal into a so-called "mommy blog", it is nice to have a place to write about the pregnancy and what's happening.

Pregnant... x2!
Ok, so it's been a ridiculously long time since I posted, but I have a good reason to post now-- I'm pregnant! But not only that, we are lucky enough to have won the baby lottery by getting a two for one deal, apparently. Yes indeed-- twins!! I will honestly say that it was probably the last thing that crossed my mind when I went in to see my OB ( Read more... ) -
Olympic Trials
We're almost a month away from the Olympic Games and that means the trials to select the athletes that will be going to the Games are going on right now. This weekend has been pretty exciting -- there's been a lot of drama in Trials so far. I spent a lot of time watching the Diving Trials and while not exactly watching the Track & Field, paying ( Read more... ) -
Why you should watch Olympics or Cat jumps into the shallow end of the pool
Sorry, I'm not going to talk about lofty things like friendly competition bringing the world together blah blah blah. NO!! Let's talk about what's really important-- hot athletes! =)
I actually only bring this up today because today marks 100 days out to the 2012 Summer Olympics and Ralph Lauren, the official designer for the US Olympic Team, ( Read more... ) -
Hunger Games Review
Ok, I know everyone is doing this, but here's my take on the Hunger Games, which was released this past week and I saw on Saturday. So... spoilers ahoy if you haven't read the books!
This review will sound critical and I guess it is, but I will say this upfront: I really did like the movie! It was enjoyable and they did a decent job of translating ( Read more... ) -
What's going on in Cat-land
I realize that it's been quite awhile since I actually updated this blog. Yeah... livejournal has kind of fallen off my radar lately, at least in terms of updates. Sorry. Of course, it doesn't help that livejournal is being terrible right now ( Read more... ) -
1 year until London!!
Today marks 1 year until the 2012 Olympics in London! Next year on this day they'll be kicking off things with Opening Ceremonies and then 16 days of competition! I have been watching the 2011 Swimming World Championships (going on right now in Shanghai) and it's definitely revved my interest up again.(Along with the fact that seriously, swimmers ( Read more... )
