Newbie

There is going to be a new baby in the house in several months. This means a few things will happen:

1.) I will have more "Holy crap how did I not know about that?!" moments to share with you, because every baby and every pregnancy is different (although so far this one is pretty much living up to my expectations...)

2.) I will begin navigating the new and terrifying world of having-more-than-one-kid, and I will probably be freaking out and totally exhausted for a few months at least.

3.) I will be trying to figure out how to make the transition from only child to older brother as smooth and painless as possible for Owen, who clearly enjoys the lavished attention he gets as an only child, but who also clearly loves playing with other kids and trying to poke little babies.

I am not tooooo horribly worried about any of these things, but I figure it's all going to make for some interesting blog posts, which my poor sad blog has been lacking lately.

On a side note, all of these things make me miss my mom real bad. There's all kinds of stuff I wish I could ask her, or bounce off of her and get her thoughts, and it sucks that she's not accessible.
