An Outline of a Pregnant Woman...

Hello friends and family! Since we haven't been able to keep in contact with everyone, this blog is our attempt to make sure you're able to track our progress through the adventure we call pregnancy.

Life as an expectant mommy definitely has it's highs and lows. No morning sickness whatsoever and have been able to eat anything and everything I have wanted. Hence, it has gotten me into a little bit of trouble with the clothing situation. I am bound to stick with my regular clothes for as long as I can...stretchy pants ARE my friend.

I have been hesitant to announce my pregnancy at the office, so the work wardrobe is slowly dwindling which has made me self-conscious about covering the "baby bump." With that said, Keith and his wonderful selection of words provides the highlight to my little story. We have been venturing to Blockbuster the last few weeks. As I had walked in-front of him to view more movies along the wall, he turned the corner and blurted out, "Well, it's pretty obvious that you're pregnant!" Man, I must be gaining weight like there's no tomorrow.

We've been going back and forth about what he meant and the explanation he provided was, "Your figure is coming into line with our traditional idea of what a pregnant woman's outline looks like..." WELCOME TO PREGNANCY!

Sincerely,
Ms. Ooompa-Loompa

Look! We Made a Baby!!!!

Hey Friends and Family. To your left you can see the very first pictures of what Alison and I hope will be a wonderful, smart, creative, but still organized, and detail oriented child.

I know, I know, there isn't much to see there. That's OK, neither could I until the doctor pointed things out to me, like arms, a head, all the normal stuff. I don't expect anybody to really see much either, but when you look at all of them in succession you'll get some idea of how fast those things grow. (I can still call it a thing, because we haven't determined the sex of the child yet).

We're putting this blog up so everyone can check out the progress of the precious snowflake to be, and so that I have some way of telling the world about all of the wonderful things that Alison and I, as a couple are going through. Things like 15 minutes of silent treatment I got because I almost gave her pen away at the grocery store. Or when I made the mistake of somehow giving Alison the impression that shopping for maternity clothes wasn't my absolute favorite thing ever in the universe to do.

So enjoy, we'll keep updating.
