The Robinsons are growing!

I haven't blogged since January (head drops in shame) but I have a good reason - at least I think so. I had a big secret and since I'm horrible at keeping secrets, I just avoided blogging all together. Plus, my secret was a big, all consuming secret so if I couldn't blog about it, I didn't know what else to blog about.

The secret has been out for about a month now, though, and I have no good reason as to why I haven't blogged in the last month except that I've been extremely busy. Lame, I know.

So where should I start? Oh... I guess with the secret!

My dear friend Julie at Julie D Photography took these awesome pictures for us!
That's right. We are having a baby and are due October 11, 2012 (10-11-12... so fun!). Chances are, you probably already knew this. But it's not official until you put it on the blog, right? So there you have it.

You followed us through our journey with the miscarriage in December and your prayers, support or positive vibes must have worked because we were lucky enough to get pregnant again just one month after the miscarriage. And we don't take it for granted. I think we have both appreciated how lucky we are each and every day of this journey.

And a journey it is! Pregnancy makes your body do some pretty crazy and unflattering things. But I will discuss more of that later.

I plan to post weekly pictures of my belly bump and journal about that week. And since I've done such a horrible job thus far, I'm going to start with last Thursday (19 weeks) and work my way backwards.

I'm about halfway through the pregnancy and something tells me the fun is just beginning so thanks for following along with what is sure to be an exciting and crazy journey!

Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project

I recently joined the group 20 Something Bloggers and stumbled across the blog below where Sandy is creating and releasing 1000 paper cranes with a different inspirational word on each one. She leaves them for others to find and to hopefully spread a bit of positive energy and "world peace" which is what cranes symbolize. She came up with this idea after reading "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" by Elanor Coerr which is a book about a girl from Hiroshima who was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to fold 1000 cranes before she died but unfortunately only made it to 644. I was inspired when reading her blog and thought you might be interested in learning about it too! Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project : "So why 1000 paper cranes? What started this all? After reading the true story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Elanor Coerr, I was..."

Beware of Infections...

When I think of an infection, I think of something that needs a little neosporin and a band aid and then life goes on. When the doctors started talking about Mark's infection as something that is life-threatening, as you can imagine, I was shocked. He has stage IV cancer for god's sake, an infection is the least of his worries, right? Wrong. Turns out it's not uncommon for people going through this treatment to get these infections which can be fatal if it doesn't respond to antibiotics and continues to spread. So, going back to my blog about not worrying because it doesn't get you anywhere and it's a waste of time, yada yada yada - I have done very little of anything else besides worry during the past 36 hours or so. Even during the hour and a half last night watching the movie Amityville Horror I was worrying. Well, I guess I was worrying more about not peeing my pants, but you get the idea. I feel bad for the people around me when I get worried like this. I

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
