Howdy

Please forgive my what is essentially a two-day hiatus. Much has gone on in the last two days, and I attempted to post yesterday evening but had a hard time condensing it enough while still providing the right tones for the events. I will probably end up posting several events, although at least one will be about work, so will probably be a dryer read.

First is the big news and responsibilities I had been hinting at: We are pregnant! We wanted to wait until our first pre-natal visit to announce, but we were fairly certain on December 26th. Our first visit was on Wednesday afternoon and will merit a post all it's own, but for now, simply stated we are the proud parents to be of a 6.5 mm embryo. The due date is August 30th, so there is quite a lot of time left which is fortunate since we have many preparations to make. The reading is a little over-whelming with the sheer volume of materials available, but there is so much to know about the whole process. We have taken some great recommendations from family about this, and it has helped hugely. Meanwhile we are trying to get mentally prepared for being parents while trying to make sure we don't ignore our time spent together now, before a small child takes up our time.

Our next post will be some fun facts on the the first pre-natal visit. Hungry, grumpy, pregnant women are a little frightening en masse...
