Not A Cooking Blog

Hello World. And no, I am not here to start a blog about cooking.

In case you didn't know, stir fry is sometimes called happy family on chinese restaurant menus because all the ingredients go together into one pan like one big happy family (to create something great- I added this part!). So actually, this blog is about our family- our marriage, our pregnancy, our baby once July rolls around- and our life's adventures.

I've realized over the last few weeks that I have a lot of things to share about these topics and a blog seemed to be the best way to get all the info to our family and friends. It took me all those weeks to come up with a name to start the blog so the entries are back-logged in my brain for now. Thankfully, the TV show Chopped, one of the few that Kevin and I agree on, and the baby conspired together to provide the perfect storm of a sleepless night filled with wandering thoughts and the tidbit about stir fry=happy family. And that's how this blog was born.

You'll have to wait until July to find out how the baby is born but in the mean time, I'll start from the most recent excitement and work my way around all the rest.

On Monday March 11, Kevin and I celebrated 7 months of marital bliss. The baby joined the party too by giving dad's hand a nice solid kick for the first time! I have been feeling baby movements and kicks since early February and have been trying for almost that long to coordinate Kevin's hand and the baby's movements so he could feel it too. In this unsuccessful process, the only thing I learned is that the baby is a big tease and has a mind of it's own! Anyway, happy 7 month anniversary to mom and dad from baby H.
