Why a blog...

Since Sadie has entered our world, things have turned completely upside down. I've decided to keep this blog for a few reasons - so that family and friends who want to hear the nitty gritty can keep up with the saga, since I'm horrible about staying in touch right now due to obvious reasons, to keep track of what's happening day-to-day with Sadie's health since it's all a blur at the moment and to try to stay sane. Writing things out usually helps me to cope.

So, here goes for a novice blogger. I've managed to avoid this technology for long enough, I guess. Time to embrace it. Feel free to comment and add your two cents/ask questions/whatever - just keep it "nice" since all kinds of people will be reading along.
