From Kikay Sites to Preggy and Mommy Sites...

I just spent the morning revisiting Cher's Surviving Korea.  She chronicled her pregnancy very well.  I remember researching about life in Korea before coming here and I stumbled upon her site and Ate Wendy's MyRockingCradle through buhaykorea.com of Ate Betchay. Of course, getting married means starting a family in the near future so I had to read about family life especially being pregnant here.  

As I mentioned in my earlier post, my freetime for the past week was consumed by researches on pregnancy and motherhood.  One thing that surprised me was the fact that corn silk (tea) actually increases fertility.  And prior my baby's conception, Alex and I were avid drinkers of the said tea... So for couples out there wanting to have a baby, you can check natural ways to increase fertility.   

Last Tuesday alone, I didn't realize that I registered in 2 different "mommy" sites already..  Although I shied away from Kikay or beauty stuffs, I definitely checked skin care products for pregnant women.  But I remember reading something about it from Ate Wendy's blog before when she became pregnant with Baby Dynamo... I will start revisiting her baby chronicles later today too...

And I also like called my mom everyday since last week..  The more I read about pregnancy, the more I get confident about it but I don't know, I'm a bit nervous too (being a first-time mom) and just hearing her voice soothes me...

i agree with bittersweet. as women, we are equipped with mommyhood tools :). what your body needs now is to just let things happen. of course, research would also help, but i have all the confidence you'll be absolutely fine.
