Photographer, Educator, Student, Mother & Wife Obsessed with sharing moments through pictures & words
For me, busy, well, it’s normal. So though I’m use to being a busy person, I must admit this summer is off to an early start – and has been nothing but busy. FAMILY VISITS In May we enjoyed having Jason’s family in town. His brother Adam and Tyler visited for about two weeks. Overall […]
I’ve finally been able to free up time this week, and honestly, you’ve in suspense long enough… It’s a boy! I won’t lie, I’ve suspected it for several weeks now – and have even joked about how this pregnancy must be that much more challenging than what I experienced with Hope because it’s a boy. […]

Congratulations – even if you don’t name him Don’t but it sounds better all the time. You only have to say one word when he’s misbehaving. “Don’t, don’t!”
Congrats mom. Happy Mother’s day!
okay…boy names…is Peace a boy name? I’m sure Hope will get over the
I-wanted-a-sister thing soon and come up with something! Congrats! I guess now you’ll have to buy clothes that aren’t pink, Amanda!
Hey do we get to vote on names? If so, I vote for Otto Kern- get it, auto kern? Oh, hell, I just crack myself up sometimes. ;o)
I’m glad things are going well and tell Hope it’s better it’s a boy- this way she won’t have to share her Barbies.
P
Yeah! We need more boys in the world! HA!
…they are a “challenge”…
I like Otto Kern 
You can also choose Moe Kern … get it More Kern hahahaha…
Lemme see you have Hope …. you can try Chance or Ace.
Hope that helps
-Efrain
‘Hogan’ – means youth
kinda goes with Hope, not sure if you think that’s cheezy or not
congrats! we’ll have brainstorm and come up with some cool typographic names sometime!
Hi Kern Family!
Congrats on thinking blue! Boys are sweet and Hope will think so too. I vote for Jason with a middle name from Mommy’s side of male relatives.
Happy Mom’s Day Amanda! Hugs, Sharyn & family
Yeah!!! The suspense is over. Wow, a boy. Congrats. Just be careful when you have to change diapers. Boys have better aim Whatever you name him should start with a “J”. J names are the best. Joshua, Jacob, Jordan. Jackson, Jeremiah (I love that name, but Diana said no), James. See, endless possibilities.
Ooh! I have lots of clothes that are too small for Josiah, lemme know if you you’re interested in them. Congrats, again.
You know what I’ll just make it easy on you, just call him Kurt, he’ll be original since almost nobody has that name so he’ll be cool in school
Happy Mother’s Day
Congratulations Amanda! I knew it was going to be a boy! Boys have been coming around lately!
How about Noah? Oooh … I bet Jason is ecstatic!
Aaw!! Congratulations, Amanda! I’m so glad for you.
This is so cool, he’s going to have an older sister to watch out for him.
Again, congrats & I wish you guys the best!!
-Nando
p.s. Happy Mother’s Day!
YAY!!!!!!!
Daria and I are so happy for you and Jason (and Hope too!)
Congratulations! “Big sister” can help educate and entertain!!!!
Ha! I knew it! Dont worry about Hope, because my bff had the same issue with her daughter, but later in her pregnancy she was more accepting and couldnt wait to have a baby brother. he is here now and she adores him! I think there is a same age difference my friends daughter is 4 / almost 5.
some name i like are,
Ian
Kaleb
Liam
Malakai
Alec
Aiden
good luck in chosing a name, maybe when Hope comes around she will have some ideas for names
Okay, Kristy- game on.
How about.
Franklin? Franklin Gothic Kern
or perhaps
Beau? Beau Doni Kern
No? Then maybe
Cal? Cal Edonia Kern
and last but not least
Bernhard? Bernhard Em (as in Modern) Kern.
I’m all out…
Amanda and Jason, feel free to use any of these names that suit your fancy. ha!
Oh my gosh, that’s so cool! Congratulations!
tracken kern
justen kern
tyte kern
(and to play off of the noah thing):
noah whento kern
(HA!)
You forgot Les Kern.
We’re such geeks! ;o)
Oh my, these name ideas are hilarious. Sorry but to fill in everyone who isn’t a designer – “kern” is actually a design term relating to typography – I’ll let you guys who are curious where all these hilarious crazy names are coming from read about it here:
http://www.papress.com/thinkingwithtype/text/kerning.htm
Definitely keep the names coming…
And yes, we are all excited, though Jason actually admits he was hoping for a girl. Now of course he’s very proud be having a little boy too. He made sure he got a second opinion from the doctor on the ultrasound to make sure the tech read it right – but as you can see – there’s no doubt at all.
CONGRATS! You are going to have so much fun!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
I knew it!! CONGRATS to you all!! Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!! Tell Jason and Hope we said Hi!!
Amanda, have you decided on a name yet? I have always been drawn to Jona, Tray or Austin.
Hey Amanda,
Congrats on the baby boy!!! Baby boys are GREAT!! Well a boys name that I like is Jayce. I picked Kaitlynn’s name from this website http://www.babynamesworld.com if that helps you any.

When we had Hope we decided to wait to find out if she was a girl or boy, for the joy of being surprised on delivery day. Just as with Hope we’ve really just been praying for a healthy baby, but we’ve decided to end the torture early this time and find out whether we’re […]

UUGGHH! I hate suspense!
Its a boy, right? I think it is.
Its another girl! If it is call her Joy! That would be a nice name.
so unfair. so very unfair.
C’mon we all want some excitement. Well, whatever the gender of the baby it still has one of thee coolest last names ever.
It’s totally a penguin!
Yeah I agree with everyone else… I think that you should tell us what the baby is going to be. Also, good luck on the interview.
It’s a boy, isn’t it? My friends have all had boys this year and my sister just had another boy this past Sunday! So I’m going with boy!!
I’m going with Kenny’s guess and saying its a penguin.
I’m guessing it’s a boy. And I suggest naming him Don’t. But you’ll have to add a hyphenated last name. So he’d be Don’t Kern-Bodycopy Sorry, couldn’t resist. Whatever it is and whatever you call it we’ll love it. Especially if it’s anything like Hope.
congratulations on finding out! now tell us!
i say this is just pure meanness!
humpf!
Ya, humpf! I hope he or she is not a penguin…Florida’s too hot!
I think Hope needs a little sister. I have a little brother, and it was not that fun… And I agree, Joy would be a nice name.
Anyway, congrats! Either way, its a baby!
Let us know how the Savannah eLearning is…I was considering that.
lol you are so mean 
I also think Kenny’s right.
The suspense is killing me!!!
Oooo!!!! Congratulations!!!! I am so excited about the news! I know exactly how are you feeling because I had a baby 6 months ago, and it still seems like it was yesterday. I am very happy for you and your husband! I wish you all the best, hope it will be an easy and healthy pregnancy. And, Miss Kern, if you need any help, I will be happy to do my best, I know how hard it is to be pregnant and have a job!
You are sooo wrong for doing this to us! Pay back is a m*ther, you know what I mean…HA HA! LATE NITE/MORNING Feedings. DIAPER PALES STICKING UP THE HOUSE!
I still love you though. God Bless and quick delivery!
You have to keep us in suspense…..and WHY??? Ok I’ll play………for now!! ** sigh **
Whatever it is I know you’ll both be the best parents you can be. Just look at Hope!
After a long six weeks, I’ve finally decided to post an update. I figured I’d try my hardest to have a bit of fun with this update so I thought you all would enjoy first seeing the latest ultrasound picture of baby Kern. After seeing the ultrasound I was reminded how much Hope looked like […]

It’s too cute to be the one on the right. 
awww, i guess it is too early to know if the baby is a boy or a girl. but he or she looks comfy. it is good that you follow dr.’s orders. You’re a good mommy. oh! and ummm… E.T.??? hahaha, silly.
I’ll be keeping your family and the baby in my prayers : ) It’s better to be careful, at least you don’t have to do housework! I’m glad you can still work, I don’t know what we’d do without you!
Totally looks like a motorcycle helmet w/ googles!
lol, I’m sure no one wants a baby with long glowing fingers. But seriously, listen to the recommendations and take much care. After spending some time with you in Boston I can only understand how important is work and family for you. You know we are here to help anytime. Hugs!
If the baby is born with powerful healing powers, then it’s a no brainer
I will be praying for you guys – previa usually does resolve over time (remember your Aunt Deb is an OB nurse). I always like ET so having his baby in the family might be fun!!

So though we’ve known for a couple of weeks now, it’s finally time we break the news. In fact, Hope has been the best at telling everyone so why not start there: So does this mean you’re pregnant? Yes. When did you find out? We officially found out the news on Valentine’s Day. How far […]

Congrats my friend!
Now you will have someone else to bring to Nicole’s wedding on Jan 1, 08
Luv ya!
Wow. That’s great. Congrats.
THAT’s AWESOME!!!!
congrats… i’ll bet Hope is excited.
Congrats. Oct. 19th – that’s my birthday.
Congratulations! Just remember the guy who taught you XHTML & CSS. Not that I’m hinting anything, just reminding you not to forget. 
Wow, we can tell everyone know. It was killing us. Congratulations and it has your nose, Jason’s mouth and Hope’s eyes.
Oh at last, now we can communicate the great news!
Hope you feel better and don’t hesitate to ask if you need anything!
Big Hug!!!
Say “hola” to Hope for me!
Hope and I had our conversation as you know. I just wanted to let you know how happy you guys made me. I’m going to be an aunt again. Of course, you know my boys are wanting a boy! Love you all.
Congratulations!!!!!!! =)
OMG!!! Congratulations, Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so happy for you guys!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to the interviewer, the interviewee, the mother-to-be, the father-to-be, and the sister-to-be from the aunt-to-be! With much love.
That is wonderful!!! I will be praying for a healthy baby!!
Love,
Aunt Deb
Awwwww! Congratulations!!! everyone is having babies! hahaha! My best friend is due in April, My sister just had a baby in January (the 9th, on MY Birthday!!! ) I got to participate in the birth of my neice, it was an amazing experience, I will never forget it as long as I live. Make sure you let us know if there is going to be a baby shower! I am so happy for you, God bless you and your family! aawwwww…
Haha, nice interview ;p
Congrats! How exciting!
And I LOVE Hope’s drawing of the baby sitting on her arm, so cute! hehee
Congratulations! WOW!
Tell Hope and Jason Hello!
Love Ya Kesha
Thanks for all the support and warm wishes – they’ll certainly help me get through this first trimester.
@Terri – yes, all the boys are routing for a boy, to include Jason. Hope though still wants a baby sister but she said she could handle a brother. I think we all agree that we’ll be happy with a healthy baby.
@Katie – It’s a bit early for me to even think baby shower at this point. But I’m sure once we get much closer we’ll do something to gather with friends and family. And to think how heartbroken I was in the fall selling all of Hope’s baby stuff with the uncertainty if we’d have another baby. We have next to nothing left from when Hope was a baby.
thats great news amanda congratulations
Congrats!! I am praying things go well for you. I know Hope has got to be very excited. Tell her she will make a great big sister!! Love you guys. I’ll be coming that way soon to interview at the USF I’ll call you (if you answer :o)
Ahhh HA! That explains how you were feeling in class.
Wow- that is very exciting news, and I hope the next couple of months are smooth for you. I’ll say a prayer for a healthy baby.
Congrats!
Congratulations to the new edition to your family!!!! That’s SO exciting!!!
Jason, Amanda, & Hope
What fantastic news, I couldn’t be happier for you!!!
Have a great pregnancy and enjoy every day of it even the morning sickness (if possible):)
All my love and prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.s. can’t wait to see you in April
Amanda, Jason, and Hope…Congratulations to the three of you, on your soon to be fourth member of a great family! HOOAH!
Warmest regards,
W. Wagner
Congrats to you, Jason and Hope!! Tell Hope to keep the drawings coming!! I love them!! I’m sure all who know you will keep you and yours in prayer. Pic is great Hope!!!! Let us know boy or girl when time comes……………do you even want to know?? Love to you all…………..Rick and Barb
Thanks. With Hope we never found out if she was going to be a boy or girl. This time around we still haven’t totally made up our mind, though we’re leaning towards finding out this time so we’re better prepared.
wow. i hope the best for you guys. i miss my little Hope. e mail me
