My first post!

August 16, 2008

Blair has been bugging me to start a blog, as if I don't have enough on my plate, let alone how many hours a day I spend at a computer. But, I'll do anything for my man, so - here goes! Tongue out

As Blair's previous post mentioned, we're pregnant! It was such a long haul, you wouldn't believe what we've been through. For two and a half years, we've been poked, prodded, tested... and you don't want to know what else!  I've always believed that everything in life happens for a reason, whether we like the reason or not. We got the positive pregnancy test on May 9th, a couple days before Mother's Day. First Mother's Day in a long time where my tears were tears of joy.

So, planning for baby has consumed a lot of our spare time. We are turning the guest room into a nursery. Finally got the room cleaned out and shampooed the carpet. Now we are in search of a crib and other baby furniture. We are keeping the room the sage green color. It can work for either gender, it's soft and can mix with lots of other colors. I've never been big on the baby pinks and blues. Yuck! We aren't doing your typicaly character themes, like Winnie the Pooh. We're doing a mix of Victorian and "Blast from the Past", meaning we'll have pictures of family members going back many, many years. I know it's hard to imagine, and many will be scratching their heads - "this is a nursery?" But, we like it, and there is nothing to say we can't change it when he/she gets older.

Which leads me to the poll of the day... What is your guess on the gender? We find out in less than 2 weeks, hopefully. First one to guess correctly just may win a prize!!!
