Hello all! Welcome to the baby blog. For all my friends who knew my last blog, this was originally to be entitled "Mr. Bojangles Plus One" but Coleman thought that it wasn't inclusive enough for his friends and family. He was right - it should be about all of us - so I gave in, but I still miss the name...
And speaking of names, we decided to call the blog "Plus One" because that's what we call the baby... as in, when you get an invitation and it has a "plus one" included so you can bring a date...so I once or twice referred to the baby as my plus one and Coleman picked up on it and it stuck.**
And technically, we call it "the plus one," but whatever.
At any rate, this blog probably won't offer anything profound about life or procreation (though I'm not responsible for teary posts later on when my hormones have run amok) - we just want you to be able to keep up with us from afar (or near) as we go through this nutty, wild, and wonderful process. We hope to keep you updated so that you can be involved in our lives no matter where you are. And hey, who wouldn't want to see me get all kinds of fat and swollen? That's just great entertainment!
So check back occasionally for more stories and pictures, and be sure to leave us comments when you visit so we know that you love us!
**Coleman will tell you a different version of this story, but he has a famously heinous memory, especially where details or proprietary claims are concerned, so you can humor him, but you all know the truth.
