Jaden, the firstborn of my first cousin, Jenna, was born on May 24, 2010. I missed congratulating Jenna and her family because I was in Bangladesh at the time. I took this picture of him in the car seat. I’m amazed at how a baby changes everything. As Jenna clipped his fingernails while he was asleep in the car seat, I thought about how Jenna’s primary responsibility in this world now was to care for her baby…that’s mindblowing. Jenna always had a love for children and so she’s a natural at motherhood.

Carolina Mommy Moment: I’m a displaced northerner confronting the daily challenges of maintaining a work-life balance as a wife and working mom. Originally from NJ, I’ve lived in Baltimore, Bangladesh, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, but now I call North Carolina home. I am actually doing something with my MA in East Asian Studies (gasp!) and work as a program coordinator for China-related projects (yes, I had to learn Chinese, it is not my native language).
