We have heard your cries and apologize for the lull in posting. I will try to finish catching up on summer photos in time to post about Ethan’s upcoming First Birthday. I cannot believe I am planning his one year old birthday party. I’m definitely that mom that gets weepy thinking about her baby growing [...]
Day 18 – Well, the umbilical cord stub fell off so it is time for the first tub bath! He really seemed to enjoy the water. I was a little surprised with how calm he was… and how wavy his hair gets.
Day 16 – So, this wasn’t really Ethan’s first all-nighter… he has been staying up all night since he was born. But this was his first father-son-computer-gaming all-nighter. I’m sure there will be many more as time goes by.
Day 14 – Ethan is not yet addicted to the pacifier. But in the rare event that he wants it, he really wants it. He has also started to be very protective of the pacifier and will hold on to it with both hands sometimes. It’s really cute! His daddy will sometimes wait for the [...]
Here starts some catching up with a few micro-posts.
Day 8 – My sister, BIL (Brother-In-Law), and niece came to see Ethan. My sister and Abigail stayed for a few days to help bring a little sanity to those first crazy days. It was wonderful to have them around. The cousins were able to meet and [...]

Meet Ethan, our beautiful baby boy. This photo was taken a few hours after he was born while he was resting on his mommy’s lap. Both mother and child are doing very well.
More pictures to come…
YAY! Today Nguyen turned another year older. I can’t believe we are getting so old. It seems just yesterday we were dating and were like little kids… so young… so free. Ahhh…
Despite our old age we were able to have an enjoyable day! We celebrated just the two of us (Ethan seems to enjoy where [...]
It’s a quiet and peaceful Saturday afternoon. Nguyen is visiting a friend while I am watching a movie and anxiously awaiting this little bundle inside to make his appearance. The crib is ready to snuggle a sleeping baby. His clothes are folded and put away. Our hospital bags are packed. The doctor says Ethan has [...]
We got back from the grocery store and are just about to sit back to enjoy a big bowl of fresh fruits when we got inspired. In other words, this is going to be long.
We love fresh fruits. As it is summer, there’s not much like a big juicy watermelon. Emily [...]
So you may be wondering, “A post about laundry? It must be a slow day at the Nguyen house”. Well, this is not just ordinary laundry… this is the first load of baby laundry! That’s right, we are finally organized enough to start washing all the baby things. This is momentous because it marks the [...]
I thought I would update my list of favorite things during pregnancy.
Smoothies
I heart smoothies, especially ones made by my beloved husband! For some reason, when I get a hold of that blender it just doesn’t come out right. But Nguyen has a magic touch when I comes to smoothies. So, whenever he offers I [...]
In anticipation for the arrival of little Ethan, I have planned out many crafty baby projects. I have not accomplished as much as I would have liked, but I have recently completed one that I am really excited about. Nguyen and I have discussed many different ideas for how to display Ethan’s name above his crib. Nguyen [...]
As you can probably tell by the countdown at the top of the blog, we are getting REALLY close to having a baby! Well, I guess its the closest we have ever been! We had another sonogram and our little baby is growing! (So is his mommy!) He is appr. 3 pounds and 9 ounces [...]
YAY! My first baby shower! It was a morning filled with lovely people and lovely baby things! The lovely hostesses had beautiful decorations and WONDERFUL food. Brunch-slash-breakfast food is one of my favorites! Our friends and family have been SO generous with helping us get ready for little Ethan. We are truly blessed to have [...]
A few of my favorite things…
This is the first post in, hopefully, a series of posts about my favorite things through pregnancy and the first crazy months of being a new mom. So, these are a few of my favorite things in the first 5 months of pregnancy.
1. Fruit… I can’t get enough
2. The Pregnancy [...]
He is risen!
What a wonderful day to remember what an awesome God we have.
Happy Easter – From the Nguyens
Look in the upper most right corner of the blog and you’ll notice a couple of flags. We just added a site translator (powered by Google Translate and N2H). Yeah, it’s not perfect… OK so the Viet translation is pretty bad, but it’s fun nonetheless. Maybe it’ll benefit the 2 people out there that [...]
If you’re reading this, and you’ve been here before, you’ve noticed that the site looks nothing like what it did a couple of days ago… which looked nothing like it did a couple of month ago… which looked nothing like it did a few years ago.
Since this site will likely become photo-heavy, I opted to [...]
A couple of people have asked… so I shall post. You may have notices that each time I comment on this blog, I get a little avatar photo tagged to the upper left of my entry. Everyone else seems to just be a “G”.
If you blog much you may notice that a lot of blogs [...]
A search for “naomi constantinescu” brought nguyenandemily.com onto Google’s front page at #4. This marks our first organic hit.
OK, so realistically I will never “finish” this site so let’s get the show on the road. We’ll begin posting “real” stuff soon… maybe a week… maybe sooner.
In the mean time, I’ll be working on my blog theme version 2. Yah, v1 hasn’t even lasted the official launch yet but I want something more custom [...]
The area to the top of the homepage is reserved for featured content. Up to 5 posts will be stickied to that section and will be left there as a way to highlight certain announcements and news. You can tab through them by clicking on the corresponding link numbers located toward the bottom right of [...]
…the “Friends & Family Corner”. I would like to draw your attention to the lower corner of the right sidebar on all pages. Along with the Links page, that little area will act as the quicklink to friends and family websites and blogs. Please feel free to browse at your leisure.
For the next while, this site will be under construction. Please pay no attention but just know that it should be soon that the site will be finished. As to when I’ll post something interesting? I don’t know about all that… no guarantees.
As many of you may know, Emily and I used to have our [...]
Yes, we are [coming] back! It’s been a long time, a lot has happened, and hopefully we’ll have that much more to talk about. Please check back soon… we’re bound to be done sooner or later.
You may have started reading this from the top banner area on the homepage. That is where i’ll “sticky” up [...]
If you are reading this, it is likely that you already know who we are. Welcome to our little slice of the internet! We will try to keep you posted with news and a bunch of photos.
