Wife, Mom, Student, and ...Blogger?

Well, friends and family, I have succumbed to accept the faddish (or sneakily narcissistic) role of blogger. I have to admit that my main motivation was to be able to post as many photos and stories of our adorable little boy without having all my friends unsubscribe from me on facebook (which is the convenient and politically correct action now, as opposed to offensively de-friending someone like back in the old days). Being three and a half-ish hours from home and our parents now, it is difficult to make sure that everyone is able to keep up (as much as they want) with what's going on with The Alligoods. So... This is my (hopefully) unobtrusive way of allowing said people to get a peek  into our whirlwind South Georgia life.

I can't promise that I will be entertaining (my family has a [short] running tally of the times I've ever been funny), or post uber-artsy pictures (in fact, you may laugh at my attempts), or even post regularly (I have a new baby, ok?). But, I think that my subject matter (namely, my wonderful husband and precious son) is quite remarkable, so hopefully that will redeem any blogging faux pas I may commit.

Enough with the intros.

Today was a rather uneventful day. Sort of by accident. We've been doing pretty well, I think, with getting into our routine, and Jonathan has been sleeping well for a two week old. I've only been getting up once during the night to feed him, until last night when he slept from 9:30 until 10, only waking up at 4! I felt like a sloth when I rolled out of bed at 10 to feed him, and although it was weird getting started so late, it felt amazing to sleep that long. (Thanks, buddy!)

Tonight after dinner, Jon and I took him on his first walk around the neighborhood in his little stroller! (We got the Britax B-Agile to go with his carseat and we love it!) He pretty much slept the whole time (even though it was supposed to be "awake time") but I hope he enjoyed getting out of the house! That's quite a treat for him these days since we're pretty much just keeping him home until Jon's insurance through the hospital kicks in. Kind of scary not having health insurance for him, but we've tried every option, and none of them would be available until August 1st, so hermits we shall be. (You can pray for us!)

I'm sure I will think of interesting things to tell soon, but right now I have a couch date with my husband and The Office reruns. Goodnight, cyber-world!
