Welcome

So I have been thinking about starting a blog for some time now, seriously thought about it once we moved to FL but then moved back so it was not as important, now that Emily has joined our lives I decided to finally get started.  This is a common problem I have actually putting my thoughts into action and doing.  I plan to use this blog to update family and friends on our life, and hope it helps to keep in better touch with people.  I often feel that I am the last to know family news and I hope this helps not only keep others updated on our lives but makes me log in and check out others blogs as well :) 

As most of you know Paul and I are new parents!  I could not imagine life without our little peanut.  Emily Gray entered our lives Sept. 23 and weighed in at 7 lbs.  I have been a pediatric nurse for several years now, giving advice and caring for little ones, but wow is it different when it is your own.  Emily had several "issues" once she arrived but things are starting to go better now.  Emily is starting to be much more alert during the day and stay awake for a few hours at a time, its fun to talk to her and interact more.  She has started to coo some and had her first true smile a few weeks ago - we went to visit Paul at work for lunch one day and as soon as she saw her daddy and heard his voice she had a big smile.  These days I have been at home on maternity leave and enjoying every day of it, though it is tough at times.  Many days I do not get a shower until Paul comes home and I have to admit I enjoy that time to relax.  Its amazing how priorities change once babies come!  I would not change a thing and would do it all over in a heart beat.
