The Beginning

So I decided that I should start blogging about our latest adventure before my memories of it fade away. Course, the best place to start is the beginning. Jason and I were married on Sept 23, 2006. Our original plan was to start trying for kids fairly quickly, but I can say that neither of us were ready. So we just lived our lives going to work and doing things that are harder to do with kids like vacations and partying. In February, our world changed rather quickly as we decided to move from one end of Atlanta to the other. On April 02, we closed on our new home and everything before this house seems like a blur. We both feel that this is the house that we will stay in for years to come. In July, we both decided that we were ready for the next chapter in our lives. Kids.

On August 15, I woke up at 4:30 in the morning on my own (which should have been a clue). I quietly went into the bathroom and took a pregnancy test. Course for the 3 minutes you have to wait seems like an eternity. When I came back and looked there it was- 2 pink lines. Not wanting to wake Jason up at 5 in the am. I proceeded to save the test and go to work. On my way home, I stopped and bought more tests (for good measure of course) and bought an Auburn pacifer and bib to give to Jason. When he got home, I gave him his present and the look on his face was pure excitement.

This began our adventure into parenthood. Little did we know what the next 9 months (ok they really lie to you cause it is 10 months) would hold for us.
