Things that bring us hap­pi­ness these days tend to revolve around Kai. His name in Japan­ese means “The World”, so he’s our world after all.

We’re happy all of the time because we have Kai. Hap­pi­ness tends to be an envelop­ing state of mind. But there are lit­tle moments that hap­pen through­out that are just simply […]

We haven’t hit the sweet spot yet where Kai sleeps through a night. He made 5 hours for two nights this week, but we’re now resigned to them being flukes.

Maybe he’s not eat­ing enough and sleep­ing too much […]

Baby Kai’s Day Out

On May 6, 2009 · 4 Comments · In Parenting

OK, it was our day out. Hav­ing stayed home for almost a month (trip to Mum’s house for cel­e­bra­tion not counted), Naomi and I thought it’d be good to get out and let Kai announce him­self to the world, H1N1 notwithstanding.

And announce he did, with […]

Hello world

Apart from not know­ing what day of the week it is, and from almost burn­ing down the house because I fell asleep while ster­il­is­ing things the old fash­ioned way (we have since pur­chased an auto­matic ster­iliser), Naomi and I are set­tling in to parenthood […]

Kitting out baby

On February 24, 2009 · 7 Comments · In Parenting

I’ve not been too busy to blog, and I blame Twitter.

Even then, I’ve not been twit­ter­ing prop­erly either. But with that out of the way, we have been busy get­ting the house ready for our still name­less baby, who arrives in 7 weeks.

We’ve been shop­ping around but not nec­es­sar­ily buy­ing, and putting things […]

Naming rights (and wrongs)

It’s get­ting late in the game, and we’re no closer to set­tling on any name for our baby. It also doesn’t help that my sur­name (Lee) is not a very friendly name to pair with.
