anticipating your arrival

Dearest Baby Williams
I wanted to share with you the excitement that both your dad and I feel anticipating your arrival. Your dad has already done his research and found an artist to paint your nursery and places to look for your furniture. I am so excited for you to meet our family and friends. You can't even imagine how excited everyone is to know that you will be joining us in this wonderful world! The calls and emails have been so warming and making your arrival even more exciting!!! I know you are only 6 weeks old right now, but we will be working hard this year to get our lives prepared for you! I keep telling Byron and Bailey about you but they are not sure about all this yet!
Stay safe and warm!
I love you,
MOM

We Did It!





We discovered, to our amazement, on Saturday, January 26, 2008 that we are officially pregnant! Initially we were shocked because Sandy had only been off of birth control for a month and this was the first cycle for her to conceive. This would put conception sometime after Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve and before LSU thrashed Ohio State for the national championship (What can we say, we had a happy new year!). After we recovered and verified the first test results with another test (and another test) we breezed right from the excitement stage straight to the uh-oh, we-don't-know-nothing-bout-birthing-no-babies sense of being overwhelmed. New diet, new hormones (poor Steve) and yes, new life. According to WebMD.com the due date will be around September 25, 2008.




We wanted to use this website as a way to let our friends and family stay updated with pictures, thoughts and reflections of our experiences over the next nine months. Please check in from time to time so you can share our joy.





Love,

Steve and Sandy
