Hello!

Steve and I have decided to start a baby blog so that we can share our thoughts and musings (fear and anxiety?) about this wonderful (crazy?) adventure and, more importantly to many of you, post pictures of our soon-to-be baby.

Neither of us has ever blogged before, but since I am always at my computer at work and then I'll be home for about eight months after baby is born in early November, I hope to write somewhat regularly. Unsurprisingly, I've also developed a fresh new interest in all things baby-related, so I'll occasionally post links to articles I'm reading about babies, toys, child care, education, etc. Feel free to comment on any of our postings; we'd love to hear from you.

Initial report: things are off to a good start. So far the pregnancy has been easy - I've felt great, have continued to exercise, and have had no strange pickle and ice cream cravings (although I have had perfectly normal ice cream cravings). I'm at the very beginning of the third trimester and am getting a real kick out of feeling the baby's movements. I have a wonderful doctor here in the city, and plan to have the baby at Roosevelt Hospital, on 59th and 10th.
