My real name is Allison. I’m a middle-class working woman with a wonderful job, husband, home, family, dog and more. I don’t have a white picket fence in front of my house, but probably should. My life is nowhere near perfect, but I love it. My husband and I are expecting our first child the end of February 2010 and are thrilled and scared to death all at the same time. I don’t have any qualifications to be writing this blog. I created it as an outlet for myself. It’ll be about pregnancy, being a new mom, and whatever else comes my way. I sub-titled it “ordinary, extraordinary” because that’s exactly how I view my world and my life – it’s really nothing special to anyone but me. And to me, it’s extraordinary.
