Expecting, The Unexpected.


Life is full of surprises. And in this case the hubs and I received a HUGE one, when we found out we are expecting our first child. As two people who had committed to never becoming parents, this came as a huge shock. Even after several weeks we still sort of can't believe it. But we are taking things in stride and are both super excited. Apparently the universe knew we needed something, we had no clue we wanted.

With little prep time I'm scurrying to immerse myself in all things baby. I've got no clue about this stuff! There seems to be so many decisions. One of my first projects will be tackling putting together a nursery. Because we had no baby budget set aside, all baby prep will need to be done super cheap. I will share with you my tips and tricks along the way.

Well that's all, just wanted to update you on things. By the way, for obvious reasons there will be no more weight loss posts, but these will be replaced with baby posts, yay! Also, if you have any favorite family blogs please share them in the comments section.

  1. Oh my goodness! What a great news! Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. I know the first trimester can be physically challenging, but try to relax and enjoy this precious moment. I can't think of any family blogs that I like, but if I ever come across a good one, I'll make sure to let you know :)

  2. Thanks so much Yuko. Yes, the first trimester is a doozy. I had no idea how hard it can be on your body, but I'm sure the reward at the end is surely worth it. I have a new found respect for all of the moms out there :-)

  7. LOL, thanks Katie. "Epidural".......I think that qualifies as a 'word to the wise':-)

  8. Congrats, congrats, congrats!
    My only advice (as a seasoned parent) is that your kids need a LOT less stuff than society would have you believe. But you know that already. :)
