While thinking about a title for this blog, I realized how much blue there is around me: blue house, blue car, blue shirts, blue and grey tennis shoes, blue carpet in the bedroom, two blue bathrooms, blue clothes, etc. And now that we have a baby boy in the house, there is blue stuff everywhere- from blankets to seat covers, even my Boppy.

It would be cliche to go on about how much having a baby changes your life. Anyone with half a brain should know that the previous happy couple can no longer stay out late being irresponsible with their friends or go to a party 300 miles away on the spur of the moment with nothing more than the clothes you're wearing, some booze and a blanket.

My husband & I have tried in vain to retain as much "pre-baby" normalcy as possible. For starters, we still flirt with each other. We've managed to con our relatives into watching our baby while we go to the movies. We've taken him disc golfing, shopping, to church and even to see fireworks in the park with friends for the Fourth of July. Yes, we even took him to a pub. For the record, we sat on the patio and went in the daytime before things got busy.

But to pretend that nothing major has changed since late May would be a lie to ourselves and you- the reader. Hence, I've decided to start a journal of how I'm dealing with this blue bundle of change.
