Well, we might as well.

So, it's come to this. I wonder what our kid will say when he/she tells his/her friends about the blog we used to let our friends and family know about his/her birth. Probably that I should have used an iPhone. I am so uncool.

I figure that - now that I have the ability to write - I might as well try my best to be witty. Not sarcastic, because that comes across as rude and disrespectful. Instead, I'm going to try to be intelligent and educated. Blog readers love that. It makes them say things like, "That's so true" and "He's so intuitive" and "This Starbucks is really busy today." Those are the type of people I'm shooting for.

Anyway, we'll do our best to keep everyone who might care up to date about what's going on in these next days/weeks/months. If anything, it will give you a nice addition to your daily Facebook/Myspace/TMZ.com rotation. I'd love to hit cleanup in that lineup.

In all seriousness, we're really excited to welcome this baby into our world. We're feeling an intense combination of fear, excitement and impatience. We think we have everything ready, but I'm sure we're missing something. Oh well. I think that's why we have Grandmas.

Until then, we'll enjoy the last few moments of relative sanity.

Blessings,

Ryan and Becca
