Let's Do THIS!
So here we go......I have been wanting to start a blog since I was....hmmmm...pregnant and now my daughter is 6 months old.....I figure it's time to get the ball rolling. The hardest part is just getting started right? I decided to start off with a photo montage of my pregnancy. I think being pregnant was probably one of the most amazing things a woman can go through. I loved every second of it. As soon as we found out we were expecting, my husband proposed to not find out the gender of our little one. He was pretty convincing...talking about how great it would be to announce the sex when he or she was born, anticipating the biggest surprise of our lives, and the fact that all we really cared about was having a healthy baby.....so I agreed (and so happy that I did!)
