As many of you now know, I am expecting in December! I'm excited that today is officially 100 days until my due date (tho I realize the chances of Baby D arriving on that exact day are pretty slim). I found out in early June, but it took some time to gather family to let them all know at once. Announcement day came and went, and not only was it a great birthday lunch, but everyone was an amazing support to my surprise news.

My last ultrasound was a blast! I trekked from the East Bay all the way to Roseville (passed Sacramento), but had the chance to see Baby D in 3D in realtime! It was truly AMAZING! I kept saying "Oh my!", "Wow!", "That's awesome!" and the tech commented that I must be really excited to be a mom. I told him I was, but at the moment I was more awed by the technology that allowed me to see Baby D, flabby arms, button nose, and all! Gender is inconclusive as of yet with the most recent verdict being "Today she is a girl, but I make no promises." Whatever that means...

So this blog is here to document not only Baby D's first steps (eventually), but my first steps into Motherhood. It's also to keep my family and friends posted on my adventures when Baby D does decide to arrive and keep us all connected as I continue to travel as my move to DC is still in the plans for Spring of next year. For now, my blog URL is premature, but all too soon will reflect my daily endeavors and adventures. Feel free to comment as I would love to hear from you all.
Grateful, Grinning, and Growing!
