Hello to first time readers!  To those who do not know, Matt and I are expecting a baby!  Since Monday, April 14, I have been here blogging about my pregnancy.  I'm currently 5 weeks along by my best estimation.  On Thursday, April 24, I'll have my first ultrasounds in hand and an official dating of the pregnancy.

The families were just notified this weekend, and as promised, this blog is now officially open to the public.  (hi mom!)

Though dramatic at times, in my usual fashion, it will also serve as a hub of information to our friends and family.  My other hope is to also have a detailed chronicle of the pregnancy of Matt and I's first child together.

Lastly, my email is always available at cyoung2110  at  gmail  dot  com if you need anything, and for those who have it, my phone is always on.

So, welcome welcome welcome, and thank you for all of your well wishes for the three of us.  I hope you find this blog informative, entertaining, and at times, insightful.  It means the world to us to know that our child is coming into the world with such supportive friends and family.
