Well - this is new!!

The first thing you probably notice as you visit this page is that it's pretty blank.  That's because I'm ridiculously new to this whole blogging thing.  The reason I've started this blog is because, I'm pregnant!!  And, it seems these days if your preggers or already have a kid, the thing to do is have a blog.  It's a great concept - one I hope I can become more proficient at in the coming months.  :) 

I'm about 14 weeks pregnant, with a due date of September 16, 2011.  Until then, I'll be musing about my life, pregnancy and vaious doctor's visits.  But, once the baby comes, this will hopefully contain lots of stories about our journey as parents and lots of adorable pictures of tadpole, of course!  Tadpole is the baby's affectionate nickname for now since we don't know yet what the gender is.  When I first found out I was pregnant and started downloading pregnancy apps on my iPhone, the first "update" I had on the baby was that it was currently the size of a tadpole.  And, thus the nickname was spawned. 

For now, we are anxiously awaiting April 21 when we'll finally find out if our little tadpole is a boy or a girl (if he or she cooperates).  I've had several people tell me that I'm cheating by finding out the sex in advance of the actual birth.  I understand that point of view completely, but I'm DYING to know!  I'm a planner by nature, so I'm pretty much chomping at the bit to start shopping for gender-designated clothes and baby items!!

I hope to get my act together soon and at least put a few pictures here and update the "about me" section.  It's tax season around my neck of the woods, so this is it for now I suppose.
