I started this blog for several reasons. One, to keep a log of our life while we are on this journey to our new son or daughter. Two, I wanted to find a way to journal my thoughts, happiness, fears, concerns and general ramblings. Three, I need an easy way to keep friends and family updated on what's going on.
