I caved!

Okay...so much to say! First of all, I have mixed emotions about a blog. I have waited until now to start one because I couldn't imagine what would be exciting enough in our lives to write about. Especially when I was pregnant - "Yea, I am EVEN bigger now. My belly button looks like a torpedo and the children at school laugh at it." Not so much. But, then Turner came. The mom in me came out and I have actually thought this week how big he has gotten and that I better record it! That is crazy - he isn't even 7 pounds yet. Motherhood will do crazy things to you. It is insane to think that one week ago I was a different person than I am tonight. (Tomorrow he will be one week old!) So, I thought I better start recording things. I know for certain that I will not keep up his baby book, but I am going to try to keep this up!
Since I am a blog-stalker and I am interested in even the most mundane things, I figure I will write things, and people can click the X in the top corner of the page if they are boring to them.
My sister is the blog guru, and helped me set this up yesterday. Also, my friend Lindsay and my sister-in-law Kate need shout outs because they have asked me monthly since I found out if I was pregnant when the blog was starting. They knew I would cave, but again - waiting on Turner to be the star of it!!
Note - I write in streams of consciousness. I found this out in high school when Mrs. Treleaven (English teacher) was talking about a student of hers that did this - wrote on and on and jumped from subject to subject. Then she looked directly at me and said "It is you!" Nice. Anyway, I embrace this - it just means so many things come to me and I just go with it. So, go with me!

  2. So, from time to time David will tell me stories of his time with Derek at Briarwood and when they lived together at Auburn... I'm really glad you and Derek had the patience to put up with him. :-) Good thing I didn't meet him until after sophomore year!

  9. So glad I randomly found you today, Kelly...seriously, where are the pictures of Turner? I am dying to see if he's a little Poppy or a little Kelly? I hope to come by for a visit really soon with the present I was supposed to send to your baby shower-I am such a slacker! Maggie has a cold, so we are keeping our distance for now!
