We have called our growing baby Cupcake so much now, that it has become her nickname. We don't yet have an official name picked out as we plan to name her on her birthday. It will be a surprise for everyone, including us for the most part, with the exception of knowing the name pool.
But what most people don't know, is how the nickname got started. It is actually the way I told Ron that we were pregnant. I had been in a baking mood last October, making and eating cupcakes quite a bit, so that evening I was planning on trying a new flavor. I had not been feeling myself, and just knew something was different. So I took at at-home pregnancy test, and just as I had suspected - I was pregnant! So I flew to the grocery store, got a few baking items I needed and a little onsie gift for the Daddy-to-be.
When he arrived home, I informed him that I had cupcakes in the oven and one very special cupcake that we would be baking for another 9 months. Our eyes both swelled up with tears...it was still very early but we were very excited for the new member of our family that I was now "baking".
We are now fairly certain that the nickname we started that day will stick with her for many years to come. It's almost too bad that it isn't an acceptable "real" name!

Life As We Know It.....
This week I am 34 weeks pregnant and I don't think I can say "I love it" but I do love certain things about it. There are other things I could do without....I will leave it at that.
The hubby and I have been together for almost 10 years and married for 7 of them. He is not only my other half, my best friend and significant other, he is my family. So even though we are expecting our first child, I don't think it's fair to say "We are starting a family" because we have been one for so long as just the two of us.
The thought of the unknown when our baby girl arrives is a little intense. Life as we know it will be forever changed. So for now, we go on dates, have taken a "baby-moon" vacation and sleep in together cuddling every chance we get. I feel as though I am going to miss him when she comes and miss having him all to myself. But I know that seeing him as a dad will fill my heart with pride and happiness.
I know I still can't fully fathom the joy this child will bring to our lives....but I do know that LIFE as we know it, will never be the same. For better or worse we are looking forward to the journey and meeting the newest love of our lives.
