Welcome to the Jean Team blog! Our blog has been created to keep our friends and families updated on our ever-changing life (it's really not that exciting, folks). Recommended by a friend (thanks Shawn!!), this will be our way of sharing the excitement of future Baby BoyorGirl Jean with everyone. Feel free to check it at will, as we will try to post something a couple of times a week. This way, you won't get annoying mass e-mails in your inbox!!
Emily is now 32-going-on-40 weeks pregnant. With less than 8 weeks to go, we are still holding out on finding out the sex of future Baby Jean. In a society where most people find out the sex in order to prepare the nursery, prepare for showers, or just mentally prepare for the new addition to the family, we have opted to find out the old fashioned way: waiting to hear "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" or "Man, did you see the size of his...!!!" in the delivery room. Yes, we agree with everyone that this makes planning a little bit more difficult (it's a darn good thing that sage green is a favored color in our family!). Making things even more challenging is the fact that there is a very limited selection of "true" gender neutral clothing made for babies. Never has one been so excited to spot a green, yellow, or white onesie in a store, only to experience extreme disappointment to discover pink flowers, blue trucks, or a nerdy looking slide ruler imprinted on the front. I mean, who wants to encourage their kid to grow up to be so nerdy as, say, an engineer??? (Okay, we do!!)
Another question we get asked a lot is how we are decorating the nursery. Well, truth be told, there is no nursery! As we are waiting to sell our beautiful and affordably priced home in Louisville, Kentucky (spread the word!), we are temporarily occupying a townhouse in Goose Creek, South Carolina. To be honest, there really isn't much room for 2 adults, 2 dogs, and a baby in this place! We will be lucky if the crib and dresser that we recently purchased (yes, we are procrastinators) can be squeezed into random corners of a bedroom, living room, or laundry nook (okay, just kidding; that last one may be frowned upon). Regardless of the inconvenience, we know this is just a temporary blip in the ensuing chaos of the Jeans' life.
Stay tuned for more posts on life in South Carolina as well as the impending birth of future basketball star Baby BoyorGirl Jean. Much love to everyone; you are all dearly missed!
