This is my first blog post ever... I'm so untechie.  

Oh look, I can add pictures!  This is me at 13 weeks, 3 days pregnant in one of my new maternity shirts that actually camouflages the belly area when I'm not emphasizing it with my hand there.  It doesn't look like much yet, but I packed away my "skinny clothes" yesterday, including 16 pants/shorts that do not fit at all.  Oh, and a shout-out to those lovely ladies who are giving me your maternity clothes- you rock! 
I'd like to do a series of pictures every two weeks or so until the birth to show how my body is changing. 






Robert is out of town in the Phoenix Valley this week.  He's meeting church people, people he'll be working with, and finding us a place to live with room for our little family.  I'm planning to stay home with the little one for a while and do the crunchy mom thing.  Robert says I'm crunchy (like granola) since I want a natural birth, to cloth diaper, and  to baby wear.  Okay, now some people are rolling their eyes in disbelief that I'd want to go through the pain of birth and months/years of scrubbing poop, but that's fine.  I'm not going to be uptight about it if things don't go my way.  Que Sera Sera.
