Catch Up

I stopped posting on the blog for a bit when we hadn't yet told people we were pregnant, but now that it is all official, I am going to officially post the few "email updates" that I had written for family along the way.  Sorry to clog everyone's inbox, but I want to have all these posts in the same place for later.  I'll also post a new post at the end, so skip to that if you don't want a recap.
