Where/How do I start?

I'm not one for journaling but I have become inspired by some of my friends who have started blogs, plus I want to document all the ups and downs of my first pregnancy - and share all of the juicy details with my family and friends - so I've created the "Chronicles of a New Mom-to-Be" blog. 

So, about 3 weeks ago (September 20 to be exact), Matt and I found out that we're having a baby!  I was shocked when the home pregnancy test came back with a plus sign, especially since that past week I had taken 4 tests that all came back negative.  Needless to say I was a little worried, so the next day I made an appointment with the OB.  I took another preg test at the office and it was positive too - hooray!  Without going too much into detail, the OB said that I ovulated late in my cycle which is why it took a week to get a positive test.  I then had blood work done to confirm and the results were great - my beta hcg level quadrupled in 48 hours - which relieved me and put me a little more at ease. 

I know you will all think I'm crazy, but I instantly had to start looking at nursery furniture, bedding, strollers, etc...early I know, but I've been looking at this stuff for the past 3 years and now I can actually look at it without feeling too pathetic.

Here's one of my favorite pics of me and my baby daddy
