Baby on Board

The major impetus for creating this blog was the exciting (and equally terrifying) discovery that we have a baby on the way. Of course our parents are thrilled to no end and eagerly await spending quality time with their new grandbaby. But they've still got a ways to go. The due date is January 3rd, but we're hoping the child is as frugal as we are and arrives a few days early, giving us a nice tax break. No, we don't know the sex of the child and no, we don't have names picked out. For now, Daddy and Uncle Rocky affectionately refer to the kid as "Meatwad" (for those of you who were as clueless as the Boston Police Department about those mysterious light boards/bombs, you won't get this reference either). Don't worry, though, Mommy will put an end to this whole "Meatwad" mess soon (though, if memory serves correctly, the same was said about the "Rocky" nickname as well ...). Well, we've got a lot to learn about being parents, but we're sure that friends and family will be super supportive in the coming months and years. Our hope is that this blog will serve as one way everyone can feel connected and be a part of our baby's life from day one.
