We're having a baby ...Thank you for visiting our pregnancy blog (web log). In late August of 2004 we found out that we would be first time parents soon. As we have tried to become pregnant for a very long time this was extremely exciting news for us. We like to share this excitement and our own experiences with pregnancy and started this blog.

I had to work this weekend and we also had another baby class. The original class was scheduled for 2 weeks ago but got canceled due to the instructor being sick. We went today and the class was packed. 11 couples and one instructor were forced into a small room. We meet a couple from our Lamaze class again.
