Please help us welcome our first pre-TTC blogger to the hive!
~~~
Hello, dear ladies and gents of the Hive!
I am über excited to be joining the gang as a TTC blogger! We aren’t quite TTC yet, but we’re getting so very close that I can almost smell the baby lotion and . . . well, I actually try not to think of the other smells a baby will bring to our little home! We’ll be officially TTC in June, but until then I’ll be detailing the ups and downs of the “pre-TTC” phase, from timeline debates and health considerations to trying to get our life ready for pregnancy and baby!
So, who are the Blues? Mr. Blue is the smarty pants who taste tests all my cooking and keeps me grounded in reality. He loves college football, cake balls, and rousing games of 42. He dislikes bad grammar and warm apples. Seriously, who dislikes warm apples?? Hello, apple pie! As for me, I’m a country girl turned city lawyer, whose “Love Languages” are cooking and sarcasm. I am absolutely convinced that there is a FRIENDS episode appropriate for every situation in life. I love home decor, collecting DIY projects that may or may not ever get done, and cake with marshmallow frosting. Yum.
Mr. Blue and I became friends during law school and started dating while we were studying for the Bar Exam. Fifteen months later the Blue family was officially formed when we married in a fantabulous outdoor wedding under the Texas sky. We have now been married for a whopping seven months, and I’ve been wanting to get our baby making on for about the last six months and three weeks. Instead, I put all my maternal instincts into (s)mothering this little bit of goodness. Meet Baby Beluga:
For the next six weeks, we’ll be busy checking off our list of things to do pre-TTC and counting down the days until we pull the goalie. Here’s hoping TTC will quickly result in a Baby Blue! I’m so honored to share our journey to parenthood with all of you and to share in your experiences as well!
Stay tuned!

Thank you all!
@highwire: Congratulations on your pregnancy! It sounds like we have mirror lives. We got married 9-17-11.
@MrsLilybugg: I’m so glad you’re interested! I’ve been a little sponge wanting to learn as much as I could before TTC. There are so many more things to think about than I realized.
