Jeni says: One more step towards being the quintessential suburban couple! Andrew and I are now two-thirds of a two-car household. Two-fifths if you count Alfador and Sky, who I’m pretty sure would insist that they run this show anyway. Mom’s wonderful friend Viki helped us come away from the lot with a 2007 Caliber with [...]

Jeni says: I tried to get a screencap of my phone’s pregnancy app to post, but my phone isn’t rooted so it didn’t have access to the — regardless, I couldn’t get a picture of it. But I have this little application on my phone that tells me how far along we are, what the [...]

“Hey, congrats on the boy, but…
…did you realize there was part of a Rick Astley song in the middle of your sonogram?” Jeni says: Yeeeeah, about that. Allow me to explain, for some of the family who may be more than a bit befuddled. That was an internet joke called Rickrolling, which is explained in some depth here. It’s basically [...]

too tired to write title, send ponies
Jeni says: Last time I said that, Mom totally brought me salad. Let’s see if this works. Maybe the baby blog is magic. Pony magic. I had a chromosomal screening done today. Had a sonogram and some blood drawn. This was the first sonogram that actually hurt. I know the technician really had to get a [...]

This was unexpected.
Jeni says: Andrew and I have received a ton of well-wishers in our endeavor of gestating life. We have yet to…I think we just got fanart? My friend Hillary wanted to draw. And so she drew. Hills. I adore you to pieces. Also, thank you for correctly labeling Andrew. I wouldn’t have wanted the blog [...]

Explaining %N
Jeni says: It occurs to me that family probably won’t get why we’re referring to the baby as %N. Let me explain. “%N” is a wildcard character used in World of Warcraft. When you’re talking to someone, it can occasionally be difficult to type out their name. Or, if you’re me, you’re lazy and would [...]

Telling Work
Jeni says: As Andrew said, we got to tell our coworkers yesterday. With this step we have now officially made all of our major social groups aware of what’s up. It’s really exciting. People keep coming over to squeal or hug or just generally congratulate us. To celebrate with the teams, Andrew and I brought [...]

Andrew says: So we’ve pretty much told everyone now. I think the rest are going to be people we don’t talk to very often, or who don’t have us on facebook. (A big thank you to everyone who didn’t post on facebook about this before we finished telling people!) One of our friends, ‘Knasty’ Mike, [...]

Telling Play
Jeni says: If I could label this “geekery” three times over, I would. I play World of Warcraft. Okay I play World of Warcraft a lot. I mean, I’m not good at it? But it’s fun, and most importantly, it’s where a very healthy chunk of my social circle is. The lovely little digital people [...]

Telling Charley
Jeni says: One of the very best things about Austin is Amy’s Ice Cream. I’ve been going there since I was TEEEENSYTINY, when it was next to Toy Joy in the little art-deco center on Guadalupe. When Andrew and I got married in 2001, we went to Amy’s while still in wedding dress and tuxedo [...]
