Just Because

I've decided to start a blog for a couple reasons.

1) Keep the fam/friends updated
2) To see if I could do it
3) Because I wanted to.

So, here it is.

I'm seven and a half months pregnant with our first child. "Our" being myself and my husband, Derek. We got married in June, after he proposed February 22nd. On February 24th, we found out that we're going to be parents, so it was pretty much the most perfect timing ever. We were planning an August wedding for about 48 hours (until HEY- we're having a baby), but decided that if we were getting married before the baby, it should be sooner rather than late- I didn't want to be huge! Good decision too- August was SO hot and humid...

I'm due October 15th with a little boy! I'm hoping that he decides to arrive a little early, as I've been really sick through the pregnancy. Totally worth it, but it'll be nice to be done with that part and get to know this little monkey! We're very excited, and I think we're pretty much ready for him. We have very generous friends and family, so his room is jam-packed with great stuff.

Well, I guess that's good for a starter post. Mostly I just wanted to get this figured out before the baby's born so I would actually DO it! My Uncle Doug out in CA is responsible- thanks!! I'm excited to be doing this!

Cheers to cooling weather!

  2. Just great! Now your GP JAck and Sue have it right. Pictures are going to be important. In a way you and Dorian are starting family histories and what an addition. Your mother and grandfather are the family historians and you will be next in line. They will have for you records and pictures that go back for many generations. Now the task is going to be to blend the two types of records. With Keith's computer skills you may get the family history in computer files. Man will the future generations love the records. Make posting a habit like brushing your teeth. You are up a 5:30 anyway.
