We are very excited to announce that we are having a baby this summer!
Telling people that we are having a baby is a strange experience. I am really excited, and want to share with people, but there isn't really an easy way to bring it up in conversation. Or on a blog post. So this news is delayed for the blog because I didn't really know what to say. Sorry!
So- to answer some questions you all may have- we do not know if we are having a boy or a girl yet. We are planning to find out (and are excited to find out!) and we'll post it here when we know.
I have been fairly sick- not as sick as some people I know, and more sick than others. Not so sick that I needed medication. But I think...maybe...I'm done with being sick? I sure hope so. We'll see.
I haven't finished my degree yet, but I'm going to. I finish classes this semester, I have an internship spring term (which I am also very excited for), and then after the baby comes I will write my thesis. The timing actually works out very well, because my thesis shouldn't be too hard to do with a baby, but classes and an internship would be harder to do.
If you have any advice on anything baby-related, we'd love to hear it. Going into baby-land is overwhelming- there are so many things to do, and get, and SO much information available, and it's nice to hear opinions from people we know and trust. So send us your checklists, or the names of books you think we should read, or your favorite products, or anything else that you have found helpful. We'd love to see it!
Also- so you're aware, I'm not going to post my due date, or our baby's birth date, or that sort of personal information on the internet. I'm happy to tell you, I just don't want just anybody to be able to look it up. :) So if you want to know, send me an email or something.

COOL! I'm happy for you both!
Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you both!!! What great news!!! :) That is one lucky little baby to get you as parents:)
Yay! So awesome, congratulations! We will be visiting my parents the end of the summer, but unfortunately we'll only be going as far as St. George, or we'd love to come see you guys. I would offer advice, but you gotta ask me a specific question...too much stuff floating around in my head. Besides, I bet you guys will do just fine, you might not like all the advice people start throwing your way :)
we are so excited for you guys! Congrats on this great news :)
OH MY GOSH! I've been waiting for this news since forever. LOVE you and i am so excited!!!
Congrats! I'm due in September, so I know how you feel! My favorite baby books were Happiest Baby on the Block, and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child ( or something like that... by Weissbluth). Must reads that have shaped my parenting and understanding of babies. I'm so excited for you guys!!
Yeah, and I agree... it's so hard to tell people. It feels like you're asking for someone to congratulate you! But I'm glad you let us know!
Congratulations Rachel!! Way excited for you and Peter!
Congrats!!! That is AWESOME!! I am so happy for the both of you!
