The Journey Begins (7 weeks)

So I've decided to start blogging.  I know I'm not the first person in the world to get pregnant, nor am I likely to have a particularly interesting pregnancy.  But I've never done this before - and therefore it is inherently unique and exciting to me!  

I know when Jaimie was pregnant with Dakota (and now, when she's pregnant with ??) I felt like I was missing out on a part of a journey.  It's hard being so far away and not sharing things on a regular basis.  I can already tell that it's going to be the same in reverse.  I feel like this is such an exciting adventure, and one that I would love to share with the people I care about.  But because so many of the people I care about are not in the same place I am, I've brought the adventure to them.  

So this is partly for all of you, so you know what's going on and join me on the journey.  But it's also for me.  Just writing makes me feel more connected.  The conversation may often be a bit one-sided, and it's certainly bound to be self-indulgent.  But it's out there.  It's openly sharing myself and my journey with the people I love.  And that can't be all that bad :)
