I can't believe we started a blog...

Since everyone wants all the latest baby news, I've finally given in and started a blog. I can't imagine that I'll have that much to say, but here goes...

Yes, we're a little late in the game. So here's a brief recap of Countdown to Cole:

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and surprised at how fast the time has gone! I know this will get me a lot of dirty looks, but things have been pretty easy so far. Thankfully, I didn't have any symptoms like morning sickness or swollen feet. I am getting pretty tired, but I figure that's nature's way of preparing me for the sleepless nights once Cole gets here.

Speaking of Cole, many have asked how we picked his name. I wish I could tell some sentimental tale of how we happened upon the name and said "I love it" at the same time, but that's not really how we operate. We each had our favorites picked out and, alas, it wasn't the same. So how does one end the stand off? Well since I couldn't argue my way into my choice (which is a total shame considering its what I get paid to do for a living), I decided the next best thing was to negotiate. I offered to go with Brett's favorite...at a price. When he decided my demands were too high, he agreed to pick Cole in exchange for some very lovely gifts. Like with most lawyer types, its all contractual! Of course, mommy will never tell Cole how easily his dad can be bought :)

So that's how our little blog begins...we've picked a name and now we're just waiting for little Cole's arrival!

P.S. For those of you who want belly pics, imagine a hot air balloon with arms and legs. Its bad enough I'm blogging. It'll take me a little longer to have the guts to post pics. Baby steps.
