These are all things that will look ridiculous on my SON.
SURPRISE!!!
welcome! bienvenida! 歡迎! willkommen!
You’re here. So, I reckon you’ve heard the good news. We’re knocked up! We’re going to be a bona-fide family come this October! I’m going to be somebody’s mama. How crazy is that?! Welcome! Thanks for stopping by! Take a look around!

“Our Story” is really the beginning. It also has a ticker so you can track That La Kid’s progress. I’ve been working on a registry. (Too soon? Yeah, well, it was already a work in progress for about 9 months BEFORE we got pregnant.) And since everyone seems to have input on the name game, there’s a section for that, too. Finally, just because every other baby website seems to have one, there’s also a guest book. Sometimes it even writes back.
This here main page is the blog. Please visit often and comment frequently (and at length whenever possible). I’m selfish. I like the attention. It’s tough being 4 hours from the people who love you and who’ve got your back. I know a lot of you have been praying with us for a number of years and I hope the mileage won’t stop us from sharing this experience.
Some things are password protected, but that’s for your safety – generally to protect people who’re afraid of TMI (*cough* HALEY *cough*). If you’re interested in reading this blog with reckless abandon and you’re not afraid to hear about sex, drugs and rock and roll, the password is wushu. Let this be your warning: sometimes it’s gross.
The few folks who’ve already seen that tiny blurb of a kid thought it was just another picture of Mr. Nasty. It is not. Mr. Nasty was HUGE. The distance from yellow mark to yellow mark here is less than 5 cm (although this picture was taken 2 weeks ago). This thing has a head, arms, hands, legs and feet! Looky there! We replaced the tumor with a little parasite. AND we did it on the first try. (I’m really proud of that, so you may hear it a lot.)
As of today, I am 14 weeks – and finally out of my first trimester!
Kiddo is due on October 7, 2012 – the Year of the Dragon!!
