And a gummy bear makes 3

A funny thing happened along the way. Simon and I decided that our life just wasn't busy enough. So we decided to mix things up a bit and add a little more chaos to the mix.

And what did we add you might ask? Only the biggest life changer of them all, A BABY. We found out on January 28th that the Robinson clan was going to get a little bigger. We were both excited and terrified all at once. Was this really happening? Were we ready? Holy crap!!!!

Too late now people, this thing was happening.

The days dragged on as we waited for the first appointment to make sure things were OK. We didn't talk about it for 5 long weeks, afraid we would jinx it or something bad would happen.

We sat with sweaty palms and a nervous silence as the doctor began the first ultrasound. "Please be OK, please be OK"

Then we saw the first picture:



Simon, "What am I looking at?"
Doctor, "There is the head, there is the belly, and those are the little arms and legs. Think of it like a gummy bear. Does it make sense now?"
Simon, "Uh yes, I guess it does....."

Later in the night

"Could you tell what we were looking at?"
"Not really, you?"
"No clue."
"Well, this is a good start for us, we can't even figure out what part we are looking at. Hope this kid is ready for us as parents..."

And so the adventure begins.






Missing you



Oh hello blog, do you remember me? I made some big promises awhile back about posting every week. I had really good intentions, I swear. But some how life got in the way and suddenly its been more than a few weeks since we last met (2 months to be exact).

So I am hear to offer my apologies and get back on track. Lots to update you on.  For all two of you that actually read this, my apologies as well. Clearly this blog thing is harder than I thought. But practice makes perfect I guess.....
