The beginning of a blog...and how we got here.

With just 6 weeks to go until we become a family of 3, I thought I'd hop on the blog bandwagon once again and start a "family blog." Our family and friends are pretty much spread out across the country and we thought this would be the easiest way to share photos, videos, and stories about our life with Baby Mak.

To kick things off, here is a quick recap of the past 8 months...

Found out we were pregnant a week after we moved to Atlanta.



Spent the first 3 months feeling queasy and now I'm not able to eat Turkey Meatloaf ever again.



Started craving sour candy at about 4 months...and it hasn't stopped yet.



Got a part-time job at Pottery Barn so I could take advantage of the discount and start working on the nursery.



Found out we were having a BOY and revealed the big news to our families at Thanksgiving with a Blue Velvet Cake.



Spent the next few weeks buying lots of baby boy clothes with the help of all 3 of Baby Mak's Grandma's.



Missed my husband for the month of February as he juggled work and studying for the GA Bar Exam.



And now with just 6 weeks to go until we meet our son, we begin to check off items on our mile long to-do list that includes everything from installing the car seat and washing those hundreds of onesies, to date nights with double feature movies and trying to choose this kid's name. And if you know me at all, you know I'm a planner, so Baby Mak better not try and surprise us by coming too early. I plan on letting him know when the list is complete and his arrival is expected...not too early, not too late, and hopefully not on my birthday...that's certainly not too much to ask from a baby, right?
