I was SO ready for Baby to come last weekend. I dusted. I vacuumed. I laundered. I cooked. I rested. We went out. But now, with the “due” date come and gone with no Baby popping out (since only SHE knows when the right day will be), I started to get nervous. Part of it [...]

I had really expected the So Your Wife is Pregnant series of posts to have many more entries, but, unfortunately for you, Sarah’s behavior hasn’t changed all that much. She’s pretty much been the same ol’ Sarah. Which is, of course, GREAT SARAH.
In the last few weeks, however, I’ve been able to put [...]

I called my parents this morning to let them know that nothing was happening yet (as littlebabygirl is due today), but they were in the middle of dealing with the refrigerator… which was leaking water. A lot of water.
A portentous torrent?
Stay tuned.

I have had the (almost) exact same conversation at least a dozen times over the last week:
“Ohh, you’re expecting? When is the Baby due?”
“Ummm…I dunno. Now. Any day now.”
“No! You really don’t look that big. I would have said 6 or 7 months.”
“Oh yeah? (awkward pause) Er, well I’ve heard that with your first Baby [...]

Well fans, here we are. Ready to roll. Rahul and I got a lot of stuff done this weekend (read: me in crazy nesting mode) and the end result? We are READY.
Well…as ready as you can ever be for this, I suppose. I am sure all of you out there with kids are laughing [...]

Now, I won’t say our tournament is quite as prestigious as, say, Wimbledon, but with over 70 voters, I must say it was a more successful tournament than I had expected.
Now, without further ado, the winner of the First Annual(?!) Baby Name Face-off:
Amelie
Amelie faced a host of tough competitors, but when it came to the [...]

When Sarah and I were getting married, we were having a discussion about last names, and, in talking to my dad, found that our last name, Gupta, was one that he sort of “picked” when coming to the US.
According to my uncle, they grew up as “Garg”.
It’s a long story… and I’m still not sure [...]

Typically, Sarah is at school ’til ’bout 5. Sometimes she comes home early for lunch. Sometimes she gets home even earlier.
Yesterday, around 10 AM, I was working at my desk when out of the corner of my eye I saw this.

“What the hell is that?!” I thought.
Then I saw this:

“Oh, right! I forgot,” [...]

Well, I guess you all proved me wrong.
Natalie beat Jasmine.
Let’s see who else Natalie beat to get here: Circe, Noemi, Alia
Amelie (of course) beat out Grace.
Let’s see who else Amelie beat to get here: Claudette, Lily, Jasmine
In both cases it looks like they got a free pass on the first round, but the competition got [...]

Someone asked me yesterday when I am due (since my belly is too huge to be ignored), and I replied “Oh I dunno, now?” Yes fans, any time now! All of a sudden I am paying way more attention to all those little practice contractions I’ve been having for the last 6 weeks or so. [...]
