{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 12: Puke-achu Part 2 & Update!

Unfortunately, the morning sickness and nausea continues to dominate my daily life. And I had my first prenatal appointment with my doctor last week, which went really well! I was very glad that Kevin came with me to this first appointment, because we just happened to be able to get an ultrasound that same day. Originally they were going to schedule one for another day, but someone had cancelled right after our appointment, so we got to stay a little longer and see out little one together for the first time.  For some reason, I wasn't expecting to see something that looks so much like a little baby already. I guess I didn't know what to expect. But when they showed Baby Mertz for the first time, she/he was moving around so much! I could not believe it! I can't even feel it! I was surprised I didn't cry, but it was probably because I could barely look away from the screen. It was so incredible to see the little person flipping around in there! Whil...

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 ...

Week 28: Big Belly, Back Pain, and Baby BFFs.

Things have been going really well in the Mertz household! Kevin's little brother Cameron has moved into our basement "apartment" that has been officially named the Man Cave. It's pretty awesome. Here's just the living area. In baby related news, the belly is definitely getting bigger, and with that, I'm now experiencing the back pain. Here's my 28 weeks picture! I also had trouble sleeping, which I'm pretty confident was in relation to the back pain I am having. But I got one of those awesome pregnancy body pillows and have been getting better sleep since then. I still wake up at least once in the night to hit the bathroom, but the quality of sleep I get has definitely improved! I found mine for a great price too...just $39.99 at Burlington Coat Factory! In case you don't know me very well, I like to find the best deals I can on things. And I'd been hunting around for these pillows, with the lowest price I'd seen on the full bod...
