Here We Go!

With our first baby set to arrive ANY day now (hint hint, Malley Grace!), I wanted to start a blog to capture this very special time in our lives.  And because I know I will probably have 2 readers (Hi Mom and Grace!), I figured it would be a great way to update our families on our daughter's daily happenings.  Original?  No.  Exciting for us?  YES!

My pregnancy has been very uneventful and even somewhat enjoyable!  I know, gasp.  I am that girl.  And I am pretty sure this will jinx us for some crazy teenage years.  However, here we are awaiting the arrival of our first sweet little one!  We have prayed and hoped for this baby, and we feel so lucky that God chose us to be her parents!  And to be clear, I am quickly growing tired of being pregnant and we're excited to move to the next phase as new parents.  Pretty sure I will reread that last sentence and shake my head when I am exhausted during a 3am feeding and remembering how much easier it is to carry around a baby in utero.....

A little background about us- Ken and I met in 2008 on a blind date established by mutual friends.  Our first date was 9 hours long.  Before the date, I was dating a couple of guys, tolerating the bar scene, and being a single gal in Houston.  After the date, I was certain that I had met the man of my dreams and the rest is history.  I adore my husband.  I have envisioned him as a wonderful father since our fourth or fifth date, and I cannot wait for him to hold Malley Grace for the first time!
