And so it begins...

Well this is our first blog post so we'll throw in a few random things. So Emily's now over 5 months pregnant and we're already impatient. But look at that cute belly.

Emily showing off her growing belly (23 weeks)

She's got her 3rd ultrasound tomorrow (if you haven't heard yet, it's a girl!). We're both really excited with all the baby stuff and we've already painted the nursery, pink of course. And we have the crib and changing table we bought on eBay. We registered at Babies'R'us a couple weeks ago, and we still have to make our way to Target and register there. Baby stuff is so expensive...I'm all for going to Goodwill and DI!

Lily's 1st ultrasound (17 weeks)

Lily's room. We painted it pink with a white stripe across the middle.

Me and Emily are both really enjoying cooking lately. We're trying out new recipes and refining old ones, it's really fun, and yummy too! I've been trying to remember my mom's recipes from when I was younger and teach them to Em so she can make them too. Those meals always bring back good memories (cheesy, I know). Emily loves trying the new stuff on allrecipes.com and we've found some good ones there like pulled pork and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Of course, Emily's latest pregnant craving is Kit-Kats and she eats like 6 small ones a day. So pretty much right now we're both gaining weight, Emily gets to blame it on the baby but I have no excuse.

We'll try and keep up on the posts & pictures, but we're not promising anything.
