July 31 Photos

I've added a Flickr photo gallery to the front page of the blog, and you can now see pictures from today's work. We'll try to keep fresh photos in this section.

The Pilot Blog

Well, everyone - 31 weeks into the pregnancy, we are finally launching our blog. Truthfully, coming up with a name for the blog was as tough a task as finding the time to actually sit down and write this.

But, everything worked out and today turns out to be the perfect day to launch the blog, because we are naming it "Make Room for Baby." Why? Because that is exactly what we are doing today - making room for our baby girl, Aubri Leigh Chaney.

The name is also patterned after the popular children's book, "Make Way for Ducklings," which we will read to Aubri one day. She even already has a toy duck to play with, courtesy of our recent trip to Boston.

With all that said, it was extra special when Casi and I got to share a laugh upon waking up this morning. The kicking, rolling, punching and stretching seemed to be extra vigorous in Casi's belly. It was as if Aubri, knowing what was going on today, was showing us the way out and saying, "My room now!"

This will be a long, busy day, but it will be fun. Thankfully, we have Casi's parents, as well as her sister and boyfriend, here to help. There will be a second round of work to do next weekend when my parents are here!
