It's That Time

Well, I guess it's that time. It's the time that every young married couple thinks about at some point or another. For some it doesn't come quick enough, for some it's a bit too soon. Chris and I discussed having kids and had the, 'ok, we're ready', talk....but let's face it, no one is ever completely ready! Especially only a month after having said conversation. :) Don't get me wrong, we were excited to see the word 'Pregnant' digitally produced on that small little stick that will change our lives forever. We are excited to share our marriage and our life with a little one expected in June 2013. Because Chris was set on having something to call this little one for the next 9 months, we decided on 'Our Little Mudgekin'. Corny, yes...but if you know Chris, you know why he loves it!

As exciting as the news is, the obvious fears creep in about what kind of parents we will be, will we put Mudgekin in day care, how will we handle the holidays, will they be smart, who's hair will they have, what will we name it (really? What goes with Mudge?), and the list goes on. Somewhere in those conversations I forgot about being freaked out by my body becoming an oven, someone else being completely dependant on us, and not to mention childbirth. BUT I have a few months to sit and think on the pains of that one. Oh joy! :) God has given us this incredible gift and we are just really trying to trust that He knows what He's doing! He doesn't give us anything we can't handle, right?!?!

With all of that said, we are excited to embark on this journey together and are thankful for all of the friends and family we have supporting us. We are thrilled to be following God's plan for our life and excited to see how it all plays out!

I have been putting off creating a blog, because I didn't have much to share, but at 5 weeks pregnant, I feel I'll have a lot of things I'll need to jot down in the near future. So, here is the blog about our little Mudgekin, our experience of the next 9 months and into the joys of figuring out how to be parents!
