The cat is out of the bag

At last, the powers that be have been properly notified, so I can spill the beans on the internets. Some of you have even noticed that I have not been very careful in terms of keeping a lid on this info anyways ;)

Hubby and I are expecting an addition to our family! We are as excited as can be :)

I am half way through my pregnancy and my baby bump is becoming undeniable, and I am still trying to wrap my head around all the changes that are coming our way. The changes are likely to add a new dimension to this blog as I join the ranks of baby-wranglers in science. I am sure I will have plenty of questions for my readers, and plenty of stories as we go along.

Did I mention how excited I am? Every tiny kick is a sweet reminder of our little one :)
