And we're already behind
Luke and I started this blog a few months ago, but we've been so busy with a newborn that we forgot about it! So here we are, 6 1/2 weeks after Ada's birth, and I'm just now getting around to my first post.
Our intent was for this blog to be a chronicling of our adventures in parenthood, as well as something Ada can look at when she's older and see some of the (hopefully) fun things we've done with her. Sometimes you'll hear from me, sometimes you'll hear from Luke. We don't want to bombard the world with talk of our kid. We realize she's not the first cute baby to have ever come into the world. As her parents, we obviously think she's pretty amazing, but we realize not everybody is as gaga over her as we are. So we'll try to keep our baby sharing here on the blog. We don't expect everything we write to be interesting to all people. But you may find it enjoyable, so check back every now and then to see what's new with our kid.
I also plan to use the blog as a way of recording our lessons learned. I can't tell you how many times in the last 6 weeks I have asked a mom friend about something newborn related and their response was, "I don't remember how we did it." I hope that this aspect of the blog will be helpful to other new mom friends, as well as a good reminder for myself when we are crazy enough to do this baby thing a second time.
Stay tuned for photo bombs, stories about adventures we've had with Ada, and more. We'll also get caught up on the last 6 weeks, as Ada has already had quite a few visitors to talk about.
