Olsen- Table for three?

Looking back at the last posts from this blog, it's crazy to think how long ago our trips to Barcelona and Paris were. July of 2009. I know I could have come up with some updates between then and now- like about our East Coast trip from this summer, or our visit to Seattle, or a beautiful wedding we went to in San Diego in November...in 100 degree weather!- but clearly I have been too lazy to update this blog (or my other blog for that matter). But now I suppose it's time to announce our exciting news to the blogosphere. That's right- we're going to be parents! Scary, eh? Baby Olsen is expected to arrive late June 2011, and we couldn't be happier about it! My intention for this blog, until the babe's arrival, is to use it to discuss and explore the vast world of parenting ahead of us. It's pretty overwhelming, and I think a forum like this may help to collect my thoughts, and hopefully get some useful comments from more seasoned parenting veterans!

Here are a few pictures for you of the growing belly. The first one is from when I was 13 weeks along (I'm 17 weeks now), and the second one is from when I was 16 weeks along. I don't promise to be good about taking and posting these pictures regularly, but there may be a few more between now and June. Isn't that parenting tip #1? Set realistic expectations for yourself? I'll begin working on that one now.

Thank you thank you Megs....sorry for dropping the ball on checking in with the blog. Thank you for the congrats! Btw, you hadn't really missed it, I was pretty quiet on facebook about the pregnancy up until I posted this on the blog. So you were getting up to the minute information!

Thank YOU Heidi! I'll post more recent belly pics soon. Not that you really need to see them since I see you often. But anyway....your cupcake pic is making me hungry. Just sayin'.
