A Place for Family Gatherings (from afar)

Hello family and friends. I've decided to create this blog in order to keep everyone up to date of everyday happenings. Well, not everyday, but you get the idea. I'll publish a blog here periodically of my pregnancy and then of course when Ollie makes his grand entrance, his very first escapade.

I stole the idea from my good friend Sarah. She created her own blog for her little ones and it's a great idea. Here I go, too.

I am 27 weeks pregnant with little John Oliver. His expected arrival date is November 8th. According to my doctor everything is going just great. Which is just great. He's on track, I'm on track and now we're simply waiting...and gaining.

I'm still working and plan to work up to my due date unless Mother Nature has other plans. Working isn't all so bad. I get swollen hands and feet pretty readily, but it only lasts a little while. My hands swell in the heat so I stay confined to my office most days. Some days I can't help it and have to venture out into the wild, but not so often. I think that's bareable and I'll be just fine.

Josh is gearing up to be a stay at home dad. We're both hoping our instincts will kick in as we don't know the 2nd, 3rd and 4th things about being parents. We've got the 1st down, we hope, being love and nurturing and well, basic survival.

The nursery is complete and I'll figure out how to get some pics up soon. We just need to fill it. So thanks to family and friends we'll have our showers on Sept. 7th and 13th. Fun!!

So, I hope you enjoy this blog and I hope I can keep up with updates of Ollie's Escapades.
