The Blog

Well...I said I'd never do it...and here I am, starting my very own blog. I can't wait to get a hard time about this one! I figure since I am now pregnant and fall asleep at 7:30pm, I am missing valuable phone time catching up with my friends...thus...the blog to fill everyone in on all the happenings here in Chandler-Bing, AZ. Shawn had just increased the Verizon minutes on my phone (due to months and months of insanely going over on my alloted minutes) when we found out I was pregnant. Now we have excess minutes each month and I am wishing I was back with Cingular reaping those roll over minutes!

So a few promises as I start this blog. It will not be filled with embarassing pictures of me as my stomach grows ever so huge (update, last night after 14 years...the belly button ring was removed -- doctors orders. It was a bit of a sad moment). It will not be filled with gross pregnancy information that people really don't want to hear about. Updates on life here and updates on the baby, sure...but no TMI happening on this blog.

So I suppose that leads to an update on the baby. 17 week doctor visit was yesterday and all appears to be going well. We call Monday to schedule the ultra sound to check on the baby and to find out if we are having a boy or girl. The baby is affectionately referred to as "Baby Blu" for now. I've felt from the beginning that it's a boy. No real rhyme or reason, I just figure I might as well guess because I have a 50/50 chance of being right! Here is Baby Blu getting ready to suck its thumb (or tip back a brewski?). This was at 12 weeks.



No real exciting updates on life here in Chandler. We were lucky enough to purchase a new roof for the house a couple of weeks ago. The 20 year roof was holding on in its 22nd year and sprung a leak above our bedroom. So, that was good times to get that replaced. Many home improvement projects will be occurring between now and October when Baby Blu arrives. I plan to do a lot of supervising of these projects, not a lot of working on them.

And that is the start of the blog. More good times to follow, I am sure!
