The Beginning

Actually, this beginning blog (diary) entry is a little late, because little Baby Woodruff started out life a couple months ago, according to the OB-GYN. But better a little late than never. We hope this little diary becomes something special now, and later on. We may not post to this blog every day, but we'll at least try to keep it up-to-date with some of the more eventful and memorable times between now and Baby Woodruff's birth-day!

And just to catch up on some details left behind the last couple months: On June 2, 2007, two little lines showed up on an HPT.

Just out of curiosity, Heather had taken the test that morning, and that's when the excitement began. We kept it all a secret, at least until Heather could visit the OB-GYN to make certain of it. Then, we formally announced the pregnancy on Father's Day to the family.

So, Baby Woodruff (the name that Brock suggested) is scheduled to arrive on February 15, 2008. Through the first 2 months of pregnancy, Heather has so far felt pretty good. Just a little tired, and a lot hungry. We have been reading up on prenatal care and development, and Heather has been getting some great advice on how to manage the changes. Plus, Greta has generously started us out with some needed items, including a bassinet, car seat and itty-bitty clothes.

Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement in this very exciting time. We hope you enjoy this journey as much as us!
