First Post (Unfinished)

Hello!

I'm not entirely sure how to go about this whole blogging business... Which seems silly since I spend most of my free time reading other people's blogs lately. Anyways, I'm just going to wing it and try my best not to ramble. It isn't my goal for anyone online to read this blog, I am writing this blog mainly for to have a record for my child to read once they're all grown up and want to know what things were like for their parents when they were a baby.
This brings me to the issue on my mind ALL THE TIME lately. A baby. My husband and I are more than ready to welcome a little one into our family. We are both very excited about becoming parents and have no desire to wait for a few years after getting married, although we have definitely heard this argument enough... Even complete strangers seem to feel the need to tell me that we should take our time and enjoy married life for a few years.
In fact, complete strangers seem to take a great deal of interest in our lives. We got married young (we're in our 20's) and everyone seems to have their own opinion of this... Most of which are negative, and all of which they seem to feel the need to tell us. We are very happy together and our families are supportive of our decisions so I don't let the opinions of other people bother me... I'm really hoping I can keep this attitude once I'm pregnant... I've heard that strangers like to give advice to pregnant women, so hopefully I can continue to come up with polite ways to respond while my hormones are going crazy. It doesn't help that Husband and I BOTH still look young enough to be in high school. People are always shocked to find out that we're married, so I would say the thing I'm looking forward to the least is having people ask my age when they see that I'm pregnant. (Does anyone else find that incredibly rude??? I have people ask my age all the time when they see I'm married, I thought that was something you were never supposed to ask a woman.)
