Hi! I'm Mama G, wife to M - a mad scientist, and stay at home Mommy to Carina. We are East coast geeks who spent 5 years in Wisconsin while M was in grad school. He just graduated with his Ph.D. and we moved our little family to New Haven, Connecticut in December for his Post-Doctoral Fellowship.
I am a former Math-lete and self-proclaimed domestic failure, and I would rather alphabetize my spice rack than go to the Mall. M is an oboe playing organic chemist by day and a fearless video game dragon slayer at night. So yeah, I think it's safe to say that our baby girl won't have a prayer at being cool. I enjoy computer games, blogging, pinning, cheese, and teeny tiny animals. I'm opinionated, post lots of baby photos, and talk about poop and other baby grossness {a bit too} often.

M and I both went to Villanova University outside of Philly and graduated in 2006. We got married on April 18th, 2009 and decided to try to start a family a few months later. After 8 cycles, we got our BFP and our sweet girl Carina Shannyn (Shannyn after my eldest sister who passed away) was born on December 28th, 2010. I worked as a software tester for a number of years, but just recently stopped working to be a stay at home Mom.

We also have two cats, Rufus and Layla. They are our babies, and they are terribly spoiled. We adopted them when they were only 5 weeks old.

Hi there~
Found you over on Top Baby Blogs today and although I hate math I really like your blog.
My hubs and I currently live outside of Chicago, but are thinking of moving to Madison! I know it's only a temporary landing spot for you, but what do you think of it there?
Kelley
Hi Kelley! Madison is a lot of fun. We've really enjoyed living here for the past 4-5 years. Shoot me an e-mail if you have any specific questions :)
Hey Lady! I found your blog on the TBB and you had me at "oboe". :) My MIL plays the oboe in a few bands here in the Milwaukee area and swears that one of my girls (we have twins) will be a bassoonist ("you know they get good scholarships"). Anyway, I am loving your geeky blog. Come visit ours sometime!

Love it! I, too, will bequeath unto my hapless offspring a penchant for nerdiness, sci-fi, and alternative music. I have heard, however, that kids are the opposite of their parents, so my kids might be shy and popular (not assertive and outcast, like mom and dad). But who knows? Anyway, love your blog!
So glad I found your blog! I also am a first time mom to a baby girl. My husband and I also love video games. :) Love the kitty photo, too. Our kitty Shadow is our baby too, and we try very hard to have her not feel left out now that we have a two legged baby. ;)
I'm a new blogger and I found your blog over at ELF A Family Blog. I am the first time mom of an almost 2 yr old boy. My fiance is a huge gamer, as is his parents, his dad and his friends have a huge game convention thing for one weekend in july every year and then DnD throughout the year every other weekend lol, Tristan even has a shirt to wear to the conventions. I am a major nerd though not that big into most video games. My fiance loves that I'd rather watch Star Wars or something rather than a chick flick.
Hey there! I am a new blog stalker. I found you over on TMB. Our family is also a bit geeky. Daddy is a computer nerd, Mommy plays MMO's. Your blog is super cute.
Hey! I just found your blog via Twitter :) You have a really really cute daughter. And I like your blog by the way...you have a good sense of humor :)
@ Rachel, Karen, domesticallyseasoned, Joan - so glad you found me!
Fun finding your blog. Looks like we were neighbors up until recently. Or at least our states were. ;) My husband and I live in Minneapolis. Life long midwestern kids. :)
Ran across your blog looking for people in the same 'boat' as me, as it were. My daughter was also born in 12/2010, and I just found out that we're expecting another in October of this year. My husband is a comp.sci nerd, and I teach piano at home - our kids will also grow up in Geekdom.
Found your blog on thebump.com :) Loved reading it today! If you get a chance, would you mind checking out my Pre-TTC blog? I just started it today, but I plan to Blog & Vlog when we start TTC in July. Have a wonderful night!
