From Dog Tags to Diapers

I'd like to start off by explaining the meaning behind the title of my blog, "From Dog Tags to Diapers". My husband and I have always had cute little sayings and phrases we would toss back and forth whenever we needed reassurance or just felt like being mushy. The first blog I ever had that was dedicated to writing novel-length posts about how amazing and perfect my then-boyfriend (now husband) was, was titled "Dog tags and Diamonds". That blog is long gone and has been replaced by this one! My original idea for the title of this blog was "Dog tags, Diamonds, and Diapers", but I came to the conclusion that it was a mouthful and would be a pain in the ass to say or type. The name has been shortened and sums up the transition of things I've come to deal with for the past two years. I've gone from dealing with dog tags to dealing with diapers. My husband is a Marine and we're expecting our first baby in a few months, so the name is self-explanatory!

Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the break-down of what's going to happen. There will be plenty of swearing (it's a hard habit to break when you live with a Marine), more pictures than you can count, all of the following subjects: my hunk of a husband, our dog, the occasional selfie, family pictures, and starting sometime in April or May, this blog will further be known as lookatmycutebaby.com. Who doesn't love looking at pictures of the weird little wrinkly creatures women are constantly popping out? I know I do, and I'm convinced my kid has hit the genetic lottery, so prepare yourself now. Along with endless pictures of my family, you will also find explicitly honest posts about whatever happens to be occurring in my day-to-day life. That means everything prenatal, birth-related, postpartum, family life, school and work, all the things about my awesome hubby and marriage, and my personal journey as a woman and a mother. I hope you enjoy what you read and can relate in some way, shape, or form!
