So this is my first official post, hopefully of many, if I can just remember to keep it up to date along with the hundreds of other “honey do’s” that I will have over the next 8 or so months.  While I’d like to start my rant with a lengthy “this is why I’m writing a blog” explanation, for now I will leave it to this until I have more time.  Right now, except for the millions of public users that can view this blog, a minimal number of people yet know that my wife and I are pregnant.  So for the first few weeks of this thing we call pregnancy most of my comments will be shared with just you, me, and the millions……but no one that we know.  So if you see someone that I know, be sure not to mention that hilarious post you saw the other day, or forward on a comment stream that you had from yesterday’s update., we’d really appreciate it.

That being said, I hope that there is some interest in this blog, even if it’s just a couple strangers out there going through the same twists and turns, ups and downs, and smiles and cries that I’m sure my family will be going through.  FYI, this is the first official time that I’ve called my family…..a family.  Yes, I’ve got tons of brothers and sisters and in-laws and dog nieces and turtle nephews, but for the first time in my life I have my OWN family, which is pretty interesting to say the least.  More to come…..cheers.
