1) I never knew life could change so dramatically in a blink of an eye
2) I didn't know my heart could grow so much so fast without exploding
3) Never thought I'd like that Stevie Wonder - isn't she lovely song - and dang it now if it dossn't make perfect sense!
4) Sleep is so last year but strangely I'm o.k. with it
5) Sitting and staring at God's perfection in my arms is my new hobby
5 Bonus) - never thought I'd miss a person after an hour but I totally do!!
Well this is the week Miss Grace was slated to appear and we got a month and a half jump start - bonus time!!!

Why Watson is a ‘Super Guy’ not a computer – a true Man amongst Men.
Why Watson is a ‘Super Guy’ not a computer – a true Man amongst Men.
For those of you unfamiliar with Watson – I’ll explain………
Watson is an “IBM Product” capable of being a contestant on the TV show Jeopardy – Alex Trebek – answering answers with a question?! – nicknamed “Yep-erdy” by my college roommate Jon Fong (who was a daily watcher) - and famous for producing millionaire knowledge nerds who answer…..answers with questions?! …..God I love that show……
Back to the point, Watson is a super hum...sorry computer. Watson is a male. Why? Cause Watson is a boys name and boys dominate girls when it comes to being super smart.
Watson uses keywords from the question/clue/whatever, searches his 4 Terabyte storage space and produces his best match . Contextually speaking, which Watson wouldn’t understand, 4 Tera-rapture-bytes is like 4 home computer’s worth of memory now a day – all I can think about is….”that sounds doable….at least more doable than I initially thought”.
Contextual clues are lost in translation and His question, which really was an answer, in Final Jeopardy was – “What is Toronto?” – to the category of US Cities and the answer was: “Its largest airport was named for a World War II hero; it’s second largest, for a World War II battle.” You mean to tell me that Watson said Toronto when the Category was US Cities?! Since Watson is a guy – let’s look at it from a guys perspective.
I’ll leave you with this…..
Clue: ‘Defines Moral fiber and Father to the US’
Please form you answer in the form of a question.

- Guy Trait #1 - He wasn’t listening. Typical in all male species.
- Guy Trait #2 - Tried to pretend he was listening by saying something stupid.
- Guy Principle # 1 – This drives Trait #1 and Trait #2…….It didn’t matter because the game was already over before the Final even stared. Why play the game if you can’t win…..or have already won?
- And finally – US magazine’s headquarters is located in Toronto…..duuuhhhhhh.
I’ll leave you with this…..

Humbled
Well I thought once a month was good - but apparently once every two months is the average now - not good!! So since my last post in February a lot has happened, and I am excited and humbled!!
You know how when you get a new white car you start looking around and you see EVERYONE has a new white car, or you have a cold, or you want something and EVERYONE has it but you ..... Well that's how fertility is! When you can't get pregnant you band with your fellow sisters struggling in the trenches with you and you take comfort in the fact that there are others who know your pain and can sympathise with you - but then something happens - someone gets pregnant and the wolfpack is reduced by one.
I found out on February 20th that I was preggers, and I was excited but scared that I would miscarry again and waited a week and no drama, and then another and then started getting more comfortable that this time things would work out.
Although I was/am so excited about this next step I am still moved to tears and deeply deeply humbled that out of all the amazing women that are struggling with this issue that I am pregnant and not them. There are so many that are so much more worthy than I am!
I pray for my friends that are still struggling everyday with a heavy heart at how bad it sucks to be waiting on the sidelines hoping to get tapped into the game. I know that they will make such amazing mothers and I can't wait to celebrate and someday that crappy wolfpack of infertility will have no wolves!!!
And with that I present you with our first family picture with baby blueberry - who is now almost a lime!
Due date is October 31st which would mean a costume party every year - awesome!
Now that I am nearing week 11 I am getting a big more plump which is TOTALLY weird - when in the history of your life has tight pants been a good thing?!! Seriously this whole baby requires some serious rewiring of the female brain.
In news completely unrelated to me - my baby sister turned 21!!!! Josh has entered his last year in his 20's and Pete Piano Bar still rocks! We did a sister's couple trip to Pete's for Gail's 21st celebrate and it was greatness. Some poor guy sitting in front of us loving being the only guy at a bachelorette party had to stop his celebrating 3 times so he could get a picture that all approved of. And speaking of bachloerette parties there may be one coming to the Wampler house soon - stay tuned!!
