Maybe inane Facebook Status' and Twitter Twats have watered down all other forms of narcissism on the Internets......cause I've really grown to like the blog format.
This may be due to the fact that it's not the publicity of this very public format, but the privacy of obscurity, through the shear volume of content out there, that makes this work for me. If someone actually finds this blog and gets something from it, fine. The worst case would be a malcontent finds cause to strongly dislike us. Even then it would be unlikely any would have the intrepid desire to find us in the real world or even take the time to send a flame email. Another angry person on the Internet doesn't amount to much. Realistically, the worst thing that will happen is that someone will find this blog and waste their time on the path to what they were really seeking.
So, I like writing here. I like putting my thoughts together on whatever the topic may be, and putting them down. While Cindy writes less - she clearly expresses interest and has never shown contempt. It's written for us, by us.
The point I was coming to, eventually, was that we are changing the focus of this blog to family issues in general. It won't just be about the future baby. In theory this should broaden the content and increase the number of posts.
What really brought this on is the realization that a second pregnancy gets far less attention than the first.....due to the product of the first pregnancy. Not much is happening in the pregnancy, while the product of the first pregnancy is going through an explosion of changes.
I now see why the second, third or eighth kids gets so many less photos than the first child. We are not going to have as much time to take the (roughly) 3000 we have of Lily, cause both sets of adult hands will be required at all times.
