Happy 1st Birthday MommyDaddyBlog.com!
Posted April 22, 2008
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! Thanks for visiting!
Put on your birthday hats and start cutting the cake, because MommyDaddyBlog.com is officially 1 year old today! Yup, that’s right, exactly 1 year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 366 (leap year) days, 8,789 hours, 527,388 minutes, and 31,643,326 seconds ago, Mommy and I gave birth to MommyDaddyBlog.com!
*scratching record sound*
But wait, if MommyDaddyBlog.com is one year old, why is it that the archives only date back to December 2007, with the very first post dated December 19th 2007?
Well, that answer is very simple. You see, MommyDaddyBlog.com, the domain, not the blog, is one year old today. Confused? Well then take a seat junior, let me tell you a little story…
One day, a year ago to be exact, Mommy and I were sitting in our office having a conversation amongst each other. I can’t remember what the conversation was about, but somehow we got on the topic of having children. We came up with the idea of starting a blog when we got pregnant with our first child so that we could journal our adventure as first time parents, and both of us would author it together. The idea of her having a separate “mommy blog” and me having a separate “daddy blog” was nice and all, but we thought it would be even better if we shared our experiences together on one blog. Instantly after coming up with idea, Mommy said…
“…and we could call it, Mommy Daddy Blog!”
So simple, yet so perfect! A mommy. A daddy. A blog. Mommy Daddy Blog! Excited about the whole idea, we immediately checked to see if MommyDaddyBlog.com was taken already. It wasn’t, so we immediately registered the domain on the spot. We thought we were weird for registering a domain that we would continually have to pay for year after year when we didn’t even know when we were going to have our first child. We just thought that at least we’d have the domain secured for when we do. But little did we know, that just 3 and a half short months later, our very first child, our baby boy, our pride and joy, would be conceived. Talk about irony, huh?
(For those of you who haven’t been with us since the beginning, and are wondering about the time gap from August 2007, when Jayden was conceived, to December 2007, when this blog was created, read our conception story.)
So here we are today, fulfilling what we said we would do; running a blog chronicling our joys and happiness as first time parents. Mommy and I really enjoy sharing our experiences and adventures as new parents here on Mommy Daddy Blog, and we hope you all enjoy it just as much! We hope you’ll stick around for Mommy Daddy Blog’s official 1st birthday on December 19th 2008. Until then, we’d just like to wish MommyDaddyBlog.com, the domain, a Happy 1st Birthday!
Coincidentally, we were just tagged in the Name That Blog meme by JMom. Well, JMom, I hope this answers your question!
We, Mommy (Sheena) and Daddy (Greg), are junior high sweethearts who are currently experiencing the wonderful pregnancy of our very first child, Jayden! Here on Mommy Daddy Blog, we will chronicle our adventurous journey through pregnancy and into parenthood! 
Happy Birthday to the blog/domain! It will be a blink of the eye and you will be celebrating birthday after birthday with your blog. Looking forward to being here for the next one!

Happy Anniversary, MommyDaddyBlog! That’s what I’m talking about when things just fall into place serendipitously
It’s kind of weird in a good way, how when you start thinking of something, things just slowly start falling into place like magic. Funny how like is like that, huh?
And another birthday is coming up soon! How’s mommy doing? I know you guys have got to be a thousand times more excited than us who are just watching from the sidelines
Thanks for sharing the story!
