My first blog post!

So this is my very first blog post ever! And where do I begin? The purpose of this blog was really to keep in touch with everybody and especially now that our precious baby girl is here. Which I guess is the reason for the name of this blog in the first place (and the reason for the blog itself): when we were ready to take our baby girl for her first walk in her stroller after coming home from the hospital, my husband said she looked like a bubblegum explosion in all her cute pink outfits. Hence the Bubblegum Explosion!
Now here's a brief story of our girl so far: baby Alexandra (aka Sasha) was born on September 5, 2008 at 10:47pm weighing in at 8lbs1oz and 21" long after 11 hours of labor (which was so much easier than I had anticipated - or feared). She came to this world with a full head of long black hair and beautiful dark grey eyes. We are so incredibly lucky to have her here, she's absolutely the love of our lives!! And (knock on wood) she even lets us sleep somewhat decently during the night! We cannot wait to see her grow and develop her personality!















































Anyway, just wanted to say: welcome to my blog!
