Hello!
I have been gone so long from my blog that it seems strange to write here again. To be honest, every time I’ve thought about sitting down to write here, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. When I started this blog, I thought it was really neat to be able to share everything that I was thinking and pictures of what we are doing. But somewhere along the way, it seemed to become another thing to check off my to-do list: “write blog post”. It’s just starting to seem strange to tell everyone about all the little things that we do day in and day out – kind of like a continuous “show and tell” about my life and thoughts. I’m not sure I feel like showing and telling that much anymore.
After closing my Facebook account about a month ago, I was so pleased with the amount of time I didn’t spend peeking in on every nuance of other people’s lives. Blogging is starting to feel like that to me now. (Both writing here and reading other people’s blogs.)
I’ve wrestled with the thought of closing this blog because in the past I’ve really enjoyed writing here and more importantly, I’ve enjoying getting to know new friends through blogging. I kind of feel like if I close this blog, I’ll be shutting off those of you whom I’ve met through Where My Treasure Is. Of course, logically I know that is not the case. We have each other’s email addresses and real communication can still happen between us.
So, I’m left to think about it a bit more.
By the way, for those of you who were praying for our new little baby, we have been given good news. As of our last ultrasound a week ago, the fluid-filled mass in her abdomen was nowhere to be found. This confirms what the doctor thought ~ that it was most likely an ovarian cyst and that it resolved itself! She looked healthy and fine.
Now, I just have to survive the last few months. I’m starting to get to the really uncomfortable stage of the pregnancy. I can’t even bend over to my plate to eat dinner without difficulty. Grrrr.
However…
…it means that soon we’ll all be able to see our new little family member! The girls are getting anxious for her to come. It must seem like an eternity for a small child to wait 9 months for a baby to come. To them, it seems like I’ve just always been pregnant.
Speaking of pregnancy, please keep one of my blogging friends, Amanda , in your prayers. She and I are due during the same week and not only does she have third trimester pregnancy to contend with, but her youngest daughter was recently diagnosed with leukemia. I know that it has been a trying time for their entire family and I’m sure that they would appreciate your prayers.
Hopefully, I’ll be back again soon. In the meantime, enjoy these summer days with your children!
