Eek!

I haven't posted lately.  My life hasn't been all that exciting.

I watched "A Little Bit of Heaven" last night.  Kate Hudson is in it.

Never watch that movie, ever...Unless you want to cry your eyes out -  I did.  I usually wait post-movie to cry.  In this case, I was peeing on the toilet (TMI I know) and just started bawling.  It was a humbling moment. I woke up with tissues surrounding me in my bed.  

I carved pumpkins with Burt, Megan, Sherra and Tommy last night.  

I think it's safe to say Burt and I made the coolest pumpkin carving ever (even if he carved more than I did).  This pumpkin is sitting outside of my apartment door.  If anyone smashes it, they are done for.  And I'm starting to feel like I live in the projects -  There is a baby crying upstairs all the time and a couple screaming at each other in expletives that shouldn't be written on a blog.  (Don't worry mom and dad, everything is fine!!  Until my pumpkin gets smashed...)

We also watched The Breakfast Club.  Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.  I just love how intense and raw it is, and it's set in one place, during one morning. (Don't laugh at me)

Let's take a moment to love on this video.  I'm secretly hoping that someone else will have this song stuck in their head and showing up in their dreams even a year after watching it....

I miss my family and my niece a lot.

I also didn't get my first choice of a job...This is the second time I'm telling anyone.  If I tell it to someone, why not just tell it to the blogging world?  (or the two that actually read my posts).

I'm in love with a girl....

I'm an Aunt!!

My little sister Ali is a Mom!

Ali and Zach's first family photo.

From 9:30 am on Wednesday until 7:45 pm on Thursday, my sister was in labor.

Her water broke at 9:30am on Thursday 10/11/12!! made the 4 cm mark at 6 pm, and she was ready to push within the hour.

Audrey Jane Prentice obviously waited until 10/11/12 to make her appearance, since it is one cool birthday.

Erythromycin is a biatch on those eyes.. Sorry girlfriend.

My sister did amazing.  You have no idea.

I was an extern at Lenox Hill in labor and delivery, and my sister was probably the best patient I have ever seen in labor.  She took it like a pro.  One amazing mom.

Her fiance Zach was the best support partner/soon-to-be-daddy ever.  To be honest, my mom and I were just the lucky people to be there.  It wasn't even necessary because of Zach...He was amazing.

BUT, I was SO happy to be a part of that birth!!  It was beautiful...Yes, it was a long labor but I wanted to be there for everything.  Ali and Zach, thank you so much for allowing me to be there in that one, beautiful moment.

I am a first time aunt, and I am SO HAPPY!!!!!

Aunt Amy, are you kidding?!  I am so happy to take on that role!

Right after I got there on the second meeting (today), she was wide awake....I enjoyed every minute of it.

Matt first meeting and holding his niece.  He was so nervous and careful.

My hair is still messed u.  I don't get it.

I was trying to wake girlfriend up so she could get some sleep tonight.  And I was so happy.

Look at those beautiful baby toes.

Most beautiful picture by far..... (copyright Grandpa Madden).

But she is even more beautiful in person.

Oh, I am so in love!!

My Little Sister, a Mama.

Amy & Ali :)

Tonight I had dinner with my sister and family.

It was the last night that my sister wasn't a mom.

(well, she had a baby in her belly, but tomorrow it becomes official).

Christmas 1992 maybe?  I hit her on the head with a shovel that year.

Tomorrow, she becomes a mom.

That little girl on the right...A mom!!!  And me, a big sister always.  (Matt's first Christmas)

I become an Aunt.

A first time Aunt, to a little girl named Audrey Jane Prentice.

2010 or 2011

I will be a very proud Aunt.

Proud of her sister, her boyfriend, and the future that the Little Miss will have.

Bahamas 2010 -  Why didn't we meet J. Biebz?!?!!?

Ali Cat, I will be there every step of the way.

Little Mermaid forever.

I will try my best to be the best big sister I can be for you.... Because I know you will take it from there for Audrey as her Mama. 

Halloween 1992.  Devil/Angel Bride.  Jkjk

I love you, I have always loved you, and I always will.

Tomorrow, you will be the strongest I have ever seen you and I know that.

I am crying because I am so happy and excited for you!!  

I hope we can always laugh like this.

But remember, you will always be my little sister.

And I LOVE that, Ali.

I love you more!

Love,

Your big sis Amy :)

Family Love.

Even

After

All this time

The sun never says

To the earth

"You owe me."

Look

What happens

With a love like that.

It lights the

Whole

Sky.

I'm back in New York for a week to become an Aunt.

I love family.

Time sure does fly.

I enjoyed a rainy fall New York day today.

I love rainy days...Mother nature must know that.

I cuddled with Taz all day and read books.  

Tried to find crafts to make and then I realized, I'm not creative.

Overall, a dream-like day.
