We believe in the journey.

I found this on Babycenter.com and thought that I would share it. Just thought that it was cute.
We believe in the journey.

We believe in the journey of Mommyhood. And of Daddyhood, too. We believe this is the most challenging thing you'll ever do. And the most extraordinary thing you'll ever do. We believe in trimesters, and in first sonogram photos, and in finding out. And in not.

We believe in the happiest day of your life. And in the most exhausting one, too. And we believe that the Surgeon General's mandate of eight hours of sleep can be jointly accounted for over a period of three days.

We believe in yelling potential baby names out the backdoor at dinnertime - just to test out what they sound like. We believe in packing up the almighty diaper bag. And we believe you will never be anywhere in 20 minutes, ever again.
We believe in that moment when you swear you just can't do this anymore. And in that follow-up moment when you realize you've been doing it all along.

The time to start typing...

The first post. Okay, I won't lie, I have tried to make myself sit down and write before. Every time I would get the first few lines in something would distract me. Guilt is a killer when it comes to blogging for me. I actually made this page just after Duncan was born so that I could keep a kind of journal for him. Yeah, that worked out well. Now with another child on the way I have realized that it really might be important to preserve the little memories. I make no promises though, who knows how often I will remember to get on and actually type anything. I will admit that I Love to go to the pages of friends and family on here and see what they are doing. So maybe I will do a little better in the future.
The reason for my post today?




They haven't fallen asleep together since Duncan was TINY. Today they just cuddled up on the couch together and fell asleep watching football. I went downstairs to do laundry and found them like that. Naturally, for anyone who knows me, photos came shortly after. Followed, once again, by the nagging guilt that I really need to get all of these little moments recorded.
So here is hoping that at the very least I can take a few of Duncan's nap times and go back in time to reflect on some Millions of pictures I have stored up on here AND get them posted.
