A room of one's own...

Hello everyone and welcome to our little blog! It was difficult for me to set this all up- but I did it and I feel accomplished! I had started a blog years ago and it faded into the nothingness. We will see how this one goes. It is difficult to pick a name for a blog- but, again, mission accomplished. Explaining "14 and up!" goes like this: I was thinking, "Wow, the number 14 has turned out to be a meaningful number to me now. If I wanted a tattoo, I finally have something meaningful to tatoo myself with... do I argue with my mom about getting a tattoo or should I just put the number in the title of my blog?" Well you see what won out. No one likes to argue with their mother. Evan and I became hubby and wife of the 14th of April 2007. We had Chloe on the 14th of September 2010, she weighed 14 ounces. The number just keeps hanging around the family. Which brings me to the reason for this blog. I enjoyed keeping everyone up to date on Chloe on Caring Bridge. She is still an adventure, but I thought maybe the day of needing Caring Bridge has passed. Blogs seem a little more cherry and happy than the wonderful, needed Caring Bridge. Here we go, getting married, having a baby and startin' life out at 14 ounces! Let's see how this goes! The theme of this post is- "a room of one's one". While I do appreciate Virginia Woolf, Chloe's room is maybe, not so serious, but alas she does have a room of her own... as long as there are not any guests at the house, in which case she will be happy to share. But it does represent the three of us finally moving out of the bedroom at my parents in which I grew up! (Loved it, but time to move on!) Represents us being in our new place, back home and the start of the family. There are things, preemie things, still going on with Chloe, but I felt this intro post should focus on the light hearted, positive move we have made. See below, the lil one's room. The mosquito net over the crib is not decoration, it is a neccesity. Motherly guilt over the more than 20 bites on my daughter once we got back sealed the deal.
