Blogging about babies

It was nice today to see several responses to my last post, especially as people in all different parts of the world responded to each other. On my day off this week I looked at some other blogs that discussed their family's journey to having a baby. There was one blog about a family of two women in Beaverton, Oregon that just had their baby recently. I have always wanted to have a baby. It was a bit strange reading the blog and yet I kept reading. There is so much to learn and so much hope in the families that are having children. The baby is adorable (of course). The moms look so happy. It gives me hope.
It is amazing to me that this is a story that means so much to me, but without the internet I would not have probably heard it. There are many other families out there just like them. This gives us a model for how to start a family and what it takes. It is helpful to have this world wide community to give you information that your doctor may not tell you or even know.
Just to let all know, we are not pregnant and we have a while to go until this will be a reality. We are, however, excited about the prospect of being parents. Who knows, maybe we will have a blog like the ladies in Oregon in the next few years.

The last 3? OK, we have KAi Emily, Lanodn Jasper and Jackson Owen--only 1 of those has one of those names, Jump back and we have 2 more--though, I bet very few have Kai-such a pretty name _this is Alexis' big sister if you haven't guessed
