We're Pregnant!

By we, of course, we mean Melanie is pregnant. Ben is just along for the ride. In the end of July there will be another downtown Cincinnati resident to add to the census numbers. Needless to say we're really excited about becoming parents to what we affectionately call our "No on 9" baby (or for the fellow computer geeks "Melanie++").

Of course, many of our coworkers, friends and family have asked if we will be moving to the suburbs. Some people have asked out of curiosity, but others just assume that a kid should only be raised in a large home with a lawn and white picket fence. Well, we've decided to buck the trend and raise kids in what we see as a more exciting, fast paced environment. There are plenty of kids in our building now and they appear to be doing just fine.  Of course we may even move a bit further up into Over-the-Rhine assuming we can get a good transit system in place (aka streetcar) that would provide access to the Central Business District.
