I can’t sleep…

And its not why you would think. Its not because of the baby, even though enough of you have asked that very question… But since the baby will be the cause of many sleepless nights in the future, I will spare her the blame just this once. I mean the reality can’t be ignored –…

Video:: Through the years…

Here is a great video that Emily had put together for the diaper shower. Enjoy! PS. JJ’s dad will be thrilled to know that YouTube selected the random 80’s haircut picture as the backdrop for this video. I think that was his favorite.

The waiting game

I feel like I haven’t written in a while, well truth is, I haven’t, but there hasn’t been any real drama. For all intents and purposes that’s probably a good thing. The countdown is on now and with all the toys put together and the onesies purchased and washed, the nursery complete and the infant…

Making a list and checking it twice

So yes, I recognize that its a little early for Christmas (or late if you consider Christmas in July sales) but lately it sure seems like it to me – not so much for the many gifts we have received lately (I would however, certainly be remiss if I didn’t mention the three baby showers…

Baby showers and Rain showers

Compared to last year, this time, it seems to be raining nearly everyday (as opposed to a major drought in 2007) and I am certainly not one to complain. One good rain a day means that in my eight month pregnant state I don’t need to reel out the hose to water the flowers I…

No problem, I can still be a geek + a mom

I take great comfort in the fact that I don’t have to leave all my geekiness behind when I take on the role of mom. Just because every other segment of my life is sure to be turned upside down I don’t have to become the traditional soccer mom that wears a jumper with apple…

Its all in the name

So I was born Amy (A-M-Y). Most people don’t even know that since I have chosen to write my name as A-M-I from about the sixth grade on. Ironically, it was a suggestion from my mom. She decided that we all should switch our names to end with an “i” in order to be different….
