Well, here goes nothing!! I've officially gone from "challenged on the internet" (to put it lightly!) to fumbling my way through and creating our very own blog site! However, I must give credit where credit is due. One of my dearest friends began a blog for her family about two years ago and I use it often to keep updated on her busy life with 4 munchkins and a husband! Most recently, another dear friend of ours started one for her family...and I realized, if both of these women can accomplish posting to their blogs with such a hectic schedules, I sure as heck can try!
So...where should I begin? As most of you know we're expecting our first little one!! I can't even begin to describe the excitement that both Justin and I are feeling! This Sunday, I will be 18 weeks along and on May 19th, we get to find out the gender of our little peanut. I truly believe that this baby is a girl...of course, Justin thinks it's a boy (I think it's his wishful thinking more than gut feeling)...but, I guess one of us right and we'll soon find out! :) So far, this pregnancy has been pretty uneventful. I was nauseous 24/7 for the first 12 weeks but feeling pretty good since turning the "second trimester" corner.
We've decided to take advantage of the "good fortune" of me feeling great and take our last vacation as husband and wife - without a child! Two weeks from today we are heading to Orlando (DisneyWorld, here we come!) with our friends, Ann & Brad. It will probably be a relatively "tame" trip for me (no drinking or rides...why did we decide to go to an amusement park with a pregnant woman again??) but I'm really looking forward to the relaxation by the pool!!
It's still very surreal to me that in just 5 and 1/2 short months, our lives will turn upside down (in the best possible way) and that we're going to be someones parents (lord, help us!!) We're definitely up for the challenge and feel so blessed that we have been given this amazing gift!
Well, I think that's about all I can muster up for my first official blog! I will do my best to keep this entertaining in the future! Though, remember...cut a girl some slack - I'm a first-timer!! Good night to all!!

Hi Mom & Dad!
This pic is a little backwards - it's a view from his left side - he's looking down - his head is on the left, then his shoulder, elbow, arm and his little hand and his knees are tucked under him!!
Our peanut!!
This picture, however, is pretty self explanatory!! Imagine that he is sitting on a glass table and you are looking up at him! His little butt is on the left, his little legs extend out and the little white dots on the right are his sweet baby toes!! The tech so kindly used a little white arrow to point out his little boy part! It's a little hard to make out in this picture but believe me, in the real image - it's plain as day that he's our little BOY!! :)
Our Wedding
The happiest day of our lives!
