Dear Connor and any future Baby Linns,
I apologize in advance. You're not going to have a traditional baby book. I just know that I will never get around to filling one out and updating it regularly. In fact, your ultrasound pictures, shower invitation, and hospital bracelet are tucked safely away in my copy of What to Expect when Expecting (note to self: must get family bible to store important keepsakes). So, I am creating this blog - mostly for myself - as a way to organize all the pictures, memories, and experiences we will share as you grow. I suspect, however, there may be some family and friends, especially those who are unable to see you regularly, who will want to follow along on our adventures in parenting (okay, probably just your Grandmother). For that reason, I will try my hardest to keep it interesting, and occasionally blog about things other than you (such as recipes your Dad cooks for us, our travels, or sports) in order to avoid appearing to be one of those crazy boring women who are obsessed with their kids.
That being said, my apology is two-fold. Don't think I won't use this blog to embarrass you. I fully intend to, and for that I'm sorry. If it is any consolation, this means I will also most likely have to post embarrassing pictures of myself (and if you haven't figured it out yet, I HATE having my picture taken - ask your Grandmother and your Aunt Allison) and write about the many humorous mistakes I will certainly make learning as I go. I can't wait to watch you learn, grow, and experience the world. I, along with your Dad, hope to give you every opportunity that we had and then some, and I promise to do it with love and laughter (mostly with you, sometimes at you). Now, if you would just let me get some sleep, we can get started on this adventure...
Love, Mom
