amkram's updates: December 2012
http://amkram.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. I realized I hadn't posted a bump picture in awhile, so here's the one we put on our Christmas card, which we took at 31 weeks! Sunday, December 16, 2012. These may be the last pictures of Herbie before he/she finally meets the world face-to-face! We went to the doctor on Friday for what could be our final ultrasound. Here you can see Herbie's little arm up by his/her face, and some big baby lips:. We even got a little smile when Alex and I started talking:. First, it was th...

amkram's updates: February 2014
http://amkram.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 19, 2014. It's hard to believe that my girl's turning one,. That a whole year has passed, a whole year is gone. I'm not sure how I feel, not sure what to think,. She's no longer a baby, but a toddler on the brink. Of walking and talking and jumping and running,. She's already gorgeous, already stunning. She knows lots of words and can point to her head,. And gets her baby chompers brushed before bed. She loves to dance and splash in her tubby,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

amkram's updates: I want to see you be brave
http://amkram.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-want-to-see-you-be-brave.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. I want to see you be brave. So it's been awhile since I posted here - almost six months - and our girl is almost one. One whole year. Already she has such a personality - she's funny and friendly and easy going and beautiful - and as her parents, we couldn't be more in love. As her first birthday approaches, I've been thinking about what I want for her, in life, and there's a song lyric that has stuck in my head every since I heard it - I think it speaks to what I want for her.

amkram's updates: Hannah's birth story
http://amkram.blogspot.com/2013/08/hannahs-birth-story.html
Friday, August 23, 2013. As I listened to my dear friend. Tell the story of her daughter's birth yesterday, I was struck by the fact that I've never actually written down Hannah's birth story! Although I doubt she'll ever want to hear the nitty gritty details, I want to remember them, because giving birth was an awesome experience - in the sense that I was filled with awe, not in the "that burrito was awesome" sense. So here it goes. Beware - this is a long story. I was 2 cm dilated and they were ready t...

amkram's updates: What Kids Need to Know
http://amkram.blogspot.com/2014/03/what-kids-need-to-know.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. What Kids Need to Know. As a mom, I try to remind myself often that what I do and how I act is teaching Hannah about what it means to be a person. Talk about a reminder that will hold you accountable. Turns out, the Kid President had the same thought, and he expresses it in the touching, honest way that only kids can. Enjoy! I love this video! Such an important reminder to keep life in perspective. there are days you will have ice cream, and those when you wont so true!

amkram's updates: July 2013
http://amkram.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 23, 2013. Another post on husbands. Actually, this one is really more about the idea of soul mates. Someone I sort of know posted this on Facebook, it showed up in my news feed, I read it, it resonated, and I am posting it here. Yay for social networking. Or something like that. See what you think. My husband is not my soul mate. Sunday, July 21, 2013. But it was scary too. I started thinking about all of the other people who will have influence over my daughter's life - Sunday school t...

http://amkram.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. We are one week from Herbie's due date! Which means we could be days (or hours) away, or we could still have up to three weeks to wait. As you can imagine, the anticipation is intense :). Thursday, January 24, 2013. Today marks 38 weeks and another trip to the doctor! No dilating yet, and the doctor's estimate (with the disclaimer that she could be wrong of course) is that I still have another 2-3 weeks to go, which is to be expected I guess, as that is our due date. I'm j...

Tuesday, March 19, 2013. By "our" I mean all women everywhere. Being pregnant, and then recovering from giving birth, has given me a whole new appreciation for God's design of our bodies. First of all, I grew a human inside of me. A whole new person. Who would have guessed that this:. Could come out of this:. The amazing thing is that within two weeks, 25 of those pounds went away (well, 9 lbs came out as a baby, but you get my point), and a little more goes away every day. Monday, March 11, 2013.
