Welcome to Our Journey!
Affectionately known as "The Cooks'", we are the proud expectant parents of our first bundle of joy! This blog will serve as a means of communication between us and our family/friends around the country so that everyone can keep abreast of our preparation for parenthood.

Today, Amber decided to share the news about her bundle of joy with her co-workers. A few people had already been informed, but the majority were still in the dark. A very sweet co-worker by the name of Joanna surprised Amber with a homemade, chocolate cake in celebration of Dallas. She also gave Dallas his/her first gift- a hodgepodge of baby necessities (bottles, washclothes, wipes, etc.)! Thank you, Joanna, for being so thoughtful!!

Sometimes it is the little things in life that make your day. Today, Amber was able to experience a "first" that made her smile from the inside out! As she was driving around the Kroger parking lot, guess which spot happened to be unoccupied? THE EXPECTANT MOTHERS parking space! Oh yeah, she whipped into that spot in the blink of an eye and giggled all the way into the supermarket!

Today was Johnny's birthday and the daddy-to-be wanted to play photographer. Here is the first belly picture taken at 11 weeks. Yes, Dallas is really changing his/her mommy's body already!
