So this is my first blog post...ever. I am not really the blogging type. I have never had a blog before, but I wanted to have one when I had a baby, especially since I am so far away from all of my family and friends, so I started this one.
I have made the blog private, at this point, so that I can practice posting without anyone being able to see anything yet (the problem is going to be not posting TOO private of thoughts now, because they will be public later).
Adam and I have recently started "family planning". We are in no rush to get pregnant (well, he isn't I would be OK being pregnant at any time.) We have decided to not not tell anyone we are even really talking about kids yet, and even when I do get pregnant we are going to wait until 12 weeks before we tell anyone. We will see how well I do at that, because I can't keep a secret to save my life (although that may not be true, as I have never had a life or death secret).
Part of the reason I have started this blog so early is I want to document every bit of my pregnancy. I don't want to miss anything, so I figured starting a private blog now, it will already be in place and I can post thoughts without telling people anything too early. It will also help get me in the habit of blogging, and I can let people see it later.
I know I am setting myself up for a little bit of disappointment by starting this before I am even CLOSE to pregnant (not that pregnancy has a 'closeness' scale), but it is really the only way to get in the habit, and make sure I don't miss a minute. (And I think people may enjoy reading about this part).
So here goes nothing....
