So here goes nothing. Me and the wife just announced the coming of our first baby. Is it exciting?...of course! Do people love a good baby announcement, most certainly do...can it get crazy with all the updates and pictures of said little one?....uh, yeah! We posted simple messages via Facebook (well, I added an ultrasound shot). What came next was a deluge of "congrats", "we're happy for you", and all that good jazz. It's great, but it can get very overwhelming. So I thought 'why not use a private blog for baby updates'. That way, if people are interested in our jabbering of all things birth and baby, they can come to this blog. I'm also hoping to provide a place to get advice and suggestions on everything pregnant-related, without hammering our Facebook Wall.
Another reason I chose a blog is for my non-kid friends/family. While we know alot of people on Facebook that have kids, we know an equal amount of people that don't. This ensures people don't get hammered with "look! Our fetus is moving!!!" postings...It pretty much leaves our Facebook free for other things to yammer about. Who knows, maybe we won't get alot of followers...maybe we'll get bored updating this blog, it gets cobwebs and becomes forgotten. But until then, I have alot on my mind and I'm willing to share...on the next post cause I gotta run.
