{About Me} A Wild Blogger Appeared!

Red clicked the link...












My name is Tiffany Mertz and I'm a little obsessed with Pokemon. And Harry Potter. And the Walking Dead. And Mincraft, the Sims, League of Legends...okay so I'm kind of into a lot of things.

 So, when I found out that I was pregnant, I knew that I would want to write about it, but in a way that is unique to my experiences. I anticipated it wouldn't quite be like the cookie cutter mom-blogs we see all over the place. I am confident that while becoming a parent will change me, I will still be "me" at the end of the day. And I'll admit it...I'm a Pretty Nerdy Mama.

I look forward to seeing what my child's generation will have as their "nerdy" things. I also want to support and encourage my little one(s) to explore what he/she likes or doesn't like, whether that's nerdy things or music like Mommy and Daddy, or if that's sports or dinosaurs or insects or whatever. I want my kids to always know that it's okay to love something "too much." Because there is no such thing. We can never love enough.

So that being said, I hope that you take away from this page helpful tips, encouragement as a parent and/or fellow Pokemon Master. :-)
Enjoy,
Tiff

Week 32: Summer Time

Well, here's the most current baby bump photo! I'm at work lol. I also got a haircut! It's not really what I wanted, but it'll grow out and be fine.  32 Weeks As far as Mr. Valentine goes, he's looking good. Every doctor's appointment is pretty standard now, with nothing new to report; just a very active baby. He's constantly kicking and punching me. I have been struggling just a tad with the summer heat. But, I've found a genius way around it. Swimming. I did go swimming in a real pool with some friends from work a couple Saturday's ago, but I got a pretty bad sunburn, so I have been avoiding the outside as much as I can since then to let it heal. But I have a back up plan for my house. I hate being stuck inside when the weather is nice (especially since this past winter was never ending!) so I found a children's pool with a slide that I can lay on, sort of like a lounge chair. It can also pull double duty next summer when I have a ...

Getting my Sewing Grind ON...

So, I recently (finally) got myself a sewing machine! So, in order to get better use to my new toy, I hunted through the depths of Pinterest to find some crafts that I could easily make. Here it is! But with nothing in it yet. I stumbled upon  this tutorial on a site called Crazy Little Projects.  It seemed pretty doable, and didn't require a lot of supplies, so I hit up the JO-ANN Fabrics, got some fabrics with fun pattern options, and figured I'd give it a go! Her blog has a pattern, but I didn't actually use her printable pattern, as I didn't have a printer. But I made my own based on hers, and it seemed to work just fine! I also based mine off of the wipes holder that I already have, plus the space that 2-3 diapers take up. Not too shabby for a first time and being out of practice AND using an unfamiliar machine! I could have done a better job on the velcro lol. The idea for this project actually came to me a while back, when I wanted to take some diap...

Week 36: The Final Countdown...

So...we're in the final weeks of pregnancy and I thought I'd share what's been going on in the last 4 weeks.. I'm just as surprised as you are that there isn't a Pikachu on here. Baby shower #1 was a huge success!! I had a wonderful time getting to not only watch people spoil my little dude, but also getting to catch up and see so many people in my hometown that I haven't been able to visit as much and whom I miss terrible! Yeah, they were pretty excited. :-) I also got to see family and friends who live kind of far away, so it was even more special! And I got to spend time with my moms. Grammy, Mama, and Nanny. I have found that I don't really like calling my husbands mom my mother-in-law...as though it's only "by law" that she is my mother. She has truly been another mother to me since I was 16 years old. Both she and John (Kev's step dad) have always been excellent parents who love their kids so much and truly want th...
