Welcome to the Club

We are just days away from going to our friends J&J's baby shower. They are the couple that is having a boy a month before Norby is due, and we've joked that boy may marry our daughter someday (if he's handsome enough, j/k.)

I've found that we are starting to get invited to more of these social gatherings, being drawn into more baby conversations and befriending people who either have kids or, like us, are parents-to-be. This is the very thing a friend of mine once warned me not to become, at least around her.

But I've realized no matter how hard you try to avoid it, it's difficult NOT to have this happen, since babies are such a great conversation starter and parents experience so many of the same things. It's like we're becoming part of a club, but not a club like the ones the guys below frequent.

    I just have to say I really enjoy reading your blog. I blogged through my entire pregnancy. I can totally relate to MOST of the things you are blogging. I cannot wait for the last blog with the baby picture. I say last....cause you, my friend, are not gonna have time or energy to be blogging for a while after Norby is born. 8)
    I couldn't be happier for you and your family!!!!! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

  2. Thanks Reeb!

    From the pix I see on FB, Carson is turning into quite the handsome young man. I imagine time is going by at warp speed for you and Kyle, and there are massive changes in your boy from day to day. So much fun- I can't wait to experience it with our little girl!

    Please give my best to all the good folks in Hampton Roads, and enjoy the weekend!
