Turns out being bored at work can have its advantages! I finally found a site I have been trying to find for ages. I read about it awhile back and for the life of me could not remember where or what it was called. Then today I found it! Babes in Blogland is a site listing bloggers (and their respective sites) by their due dates (or child’s age, if the case may be). Their tagline is, “Bringing together bloggers who are making or raising babies.” Very cool, right? I think it will be a great resource. For me, it is comforting to know that others are going through the same things as I am. Plus you can see how different people deal with the many facets of pre-parenthood.
I have many friends and family members who have had children or who are expecting, but few who really get into the details of things they are experiencing, let alone blog about it! I think it is great that there are women out there (and quite a few, based on the December 2006 due dates alone) so willing to share/document their pregnancy. Plus, it couldn’t hurt to have more Internet friends, right?
Already I have found one blogger, Bringing Home Baby, who is not only expecting a daughter on the same day as me but who is also my age (ok ok, I am actually 22 days older, but who is counting). How cool is that? I am looking forward to reading through the other December 2006 due dates to find others I can relate to and maybe even correspond with. I am always looking for partners in pregnancy!
I’m SO with Jen on this one! I LOVE talking about that stuff, but don’t want to share more than people care to hear. Also, while you’re pregnant, you don’t tend to share a lot with those who haven’t been through it because you figure they don’t really care since they’re not in the same situation/place, or haven’t ever been in it, ya know? But totally, if you want to know gory details, just ask us questions. If Jen’s like me, she’ll share anything, more often than not, more than you wanted to know. 😉 We should all have a "girls’ night – initiate Carrie into the joys of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting" thing sometime soon. Could be pretty fun. 🙂
Hey, I’ll give up details – whacha want to know? I try not to be a "know it all" or give too much away so that others can experience it for themselves. But shoot, if you want the info I LOVE talking about pregnancy and birth. I just make sure I"m not over-stepping my bounds or giving unwanted info. Happy blogging!
