Welcome to "OurLittleDrama"

Welcome to our new blog. As baby (and mama) continue to grow, it became obvious to me that I needed a way to share all our special moments with family and close friends that was more flexible than email. I wanted to be able to share written updates and anecdotes as well as the hundreds of pictures we will take. And I wanted it to be easy for folks, a one stop shop. Email, Shutterfly, and Facebook all had shortcomings. A blog seemed to be the answer.

Dallas and his ever creative imagination came up with the name of our blog DRAMA, or Dialectic Ruminations on “Advanced Maternal Age.” It took him about 3 minutes. Maybe I’ll explain in more detail in another post, but in short, the doctors were all very quick at mentioning the risks involved in pregnancy at my age. They even have a term for it, Advanced Maternal Age. I believe my AMA makes this baby an even bigger blessing. No one (us included) expected us to decide to have a baby, especially at my age!

This is a work in progress (pun intended). The look, feel, and functionality of our space may change a little or a lot as I learn about this thing called blogging. Posts may be long or short, frequent or weeks apart as we learn about this thing called parenting.

We are so blessed, especially now, to have your support, prayers, and love. I hope you enjoy “OurLittleDrama” as much as I enjoy sharing it with you. We love you all.
