Hello.
My husband Alex and I are having our first baby. We finally decided on the name Ava Elise. We went through a few rounds of being set on some other names, but this is the one; it just feels right. So I am sealing the deal in writing.
As we prepare to welcome new life into the world, I already know that
this little bun in my oven will bring us countless pleasures. I want to
savor the small, simple moments of everyday life with this new little
person and experience all the wonders and discoveries of the world
afresh alongside her. And I'm determined to document each milestone, big
and small, so that I don't have to rely
on my ever-elusive "Mommy brain" when looking back upon this treasured
phase in our lives.
We also happen to be remodeling our late 1940s California ranch-style home to prepare for said baby. We've already made significant progress, but it's a major fixer-upper with unlimited potential so I have a feeling it will be a nearly lifelong process.
At least a dozen of my friends and relatives are also having babies and/or getting married within the next year. This means that I will most likely be involved in planning a few showers.
I will be using this blog as a platform to share my endeavors in any of these areas (although I'm not about to quit my day job), as well as my reflections on motherhood and the domesticity of our new family life, with anyone who happens to stumble upon it.
Enjoy!
