Introduction

Hello! Welcome to our little corner of the internet. This blog will countdown to the arrival of our first child, and then chart her course once she's arrived. We are Daniel and Emily.


This is Mather, or it was, when she had been growing for about eight weeks (inside the little red circle). At nineteen weeks, there was a little more to see:


She's in profile, with her head to the left facing upwards, and her belly just to the right of center. By now she's been going for about 28 weeks, and is quite a bit bigger. In fact, she's pushing Emily's belly out a little bit. Here's Em at 25 weeks:


Mather will be joining us in person sometime in late October. In the meantime, that only leaves us three months to ready ourselves. Hopefully that'll be enough time! We'll try and update this page weekly with Mather's progress.

Other odds and ends from our lives will show up too -- bands we're listening too, plays we've seen, malicious gossip about our friends. All that good stuff. Thanks for joining us on this adventure! As of today, we are exactly three months from our due date -- and counting down.

This is a great idea. I can hardly wait to be the "Grandmather." I am already buying baby clothes and stockpiling them for her. Love, Momily's Mama.

All right! Visions of baby Daniel float through my memory, and of the little boy who loved to climb when he could still barely walk. Now he's Papasan with his beloved Momily. I look forward to the joys to come and thank you for sharing so handily.

i'm counting down the months, although not very well because the "she's coming in 3 months" line threw me. i can't wait to see you guys next month!

Um, Elsa, you might be my older sister, but you're just "Auntie" not "Grand Auntie". Though you are grand.
