A Little One is on the Way

Blaine and I are very excited to announce that we are going to become parents (of more than just dogs!) We are expecting a baby in October! We coudn't be more excited to enter this new journey of our lives. We will soon be "changing $500" time and time again for a nursery, cute clothes, diapers and daycare.

So far the journey has been one to remember. The families are excited - well except my niece Sophi. Apparently at 6 years old she thought she was going to be the only baby in the family! I hope to convince her that she will always be our little baby in the family.

Now if only I can keep Mom from buying gifts and furniture for the baby's room before we find out the gender. That (and morning sickness) have been the only true battles so far. And speaking of morning sickness - someone forgot to mention this illness that is very misleading in its title in the "I want to get pregnant" handbook. Although it has been lingering 24/7 for quite some time now, I am constantly reassured by Blaine, my mom and the nurse that it will go away. I just hope it goes away before the baby's 18th birthday.

I hope to keep you updated on my journey of becoming a mom. Some say it would never happen, some are still in shock that we are finally going to become parents...and we are ready for "changing $500" to give the little one everything it needs to be fully spoiled. We are also preparing for changing 500 diapers in the near future. Oh my.
