Neither one of us really understand how to write a blog...but we'd like to try! Knowing that life ahead of us is going to change drastically through the next few months...years...decades...we thought this would be a good way to document some of these changes and keep anyone who might be interested...updated!
Obviously, one of the first things we need to document is the growing belly of Allison. Chris checks her "turkey thermometer" (bellybutton) pretty much everyday to see if it's ready to "pop" yet. She assures him...she's got a lot of room...and weeks to go. Just enough time for him to repaint the baby room they already want to change the color of! Keep in mind, they just chose a color, repainted the room and finished about two weeks ago. We guess this is probably why the Lord decided women needed nine months to prepare.
This idea all started right around a fourth of July party...Allison had a suspicion at this point in time that something might be in the works...but didn't, of course, share with Chris. Thus, the twinkle in Allison's eye...and the complete oblivion in Chris's. Monday morning, July 7, 2008, after the party, she took the first test, discovered "positive" results, and shared the news with a completely unexpecting husband as he walked in the door from the gym.
Needless to say, the last few months have been a little hectic, trying to sell our home by owner, read every book we can get our hands on regarding parenthood/raising daughter (Did we mention she's a girl!?)/saving for weddings already (Watching my father pay for three weddings in under three years...) allows us to just barely keep our heads above water. But while our heads are above water, and together, we might as well steal a smooch while we're at it! Life is an adventure!
