First Post

So we're having a baby.  We are about 14 weeks into this pregnancy thing, and we've talked about making a blog since we found out about our developing offspring.  This is the first time we've truly worked toward getting this thing off the ground.  We were inspired by friends who had created blogs to keep their family and friends informed of their goings-on:  it seemed like the perfect medium to share our lives with those we love and those who love us.  Unfortunately the twists and turns that are thrust upon a young couple during the first trimester of pregnancy are not conducive to sitting at a computer and pouring your thoughts onto a screen. We have begun to adapt to many of the realities of pregnancy as other complications sneak into our consciousness: the bottom line is even when it seems like things are getting easier, they are not. Now seems like as good a time as any to get the ball rolling.  So here we go...

The main idea of this site is to share our experiences and perspectives as our family grows and develops.  Initially it will probably center around dealing with pregnancy and the prospect of adding a small screaming infant to our household.  What it will become is hard to say.  We no doubt will share every aspects of our life: work, hobbies, goals, travels, mundane daily chores and annoyances.  There will certainly be stories and pictures chronicling our adventures.  It's fairly likely one or both of us will use this as a forum to vent and rant about who knows what.  No matter how this site evolves, we hope it opens a window to our lives for those who read it.
