Is this the life for me?

I'm not sure this whole blogging life is for me.  I've been doing it for  more than a year now.  When I started out I was looking for a way to write and document our life. I wanted some kind of creative outlet that wasn't cooking or crafting. It was also a convenient way to keep up with family and friends who live a long way away.  But really.

I'm just not sure that blogging about this little family is making any difference.  So maybe Auden was right and "poetry makes nothing happen."  Does writing about my little life with the hubbs and Claire really make a difference?

I just don't know if I can do it anymore.  Sometimes it feels like this is a job and I struggle thinking of interesting content which is genuine and honest and a little funny.

But I think I have a solution.  I'm thinking instead of this being a blog about my life with the hubs and our darling little girl that in late August we should make this blog about my little life with the hubbs and our darling little girl and our new baby.

Is that going to work?

And in case you are wondering if I am one of those people who gracefully gets pregnant and has a cute little pregnant belly, I am not.  I have had it verified from 2 complete strangers that even at 8 months pregnant I don't look pregnant but rather like I'm getting really fat. I know....you can hardly wait for the pictures.  I've already outgrown all of my normal pants and I'm a full belt hole past normal.

  1. Congratulations! And I'm glad you have a new reason to blog, I'd miss it if you didn't. Reading your blog makes me feel like I can do the whole motherhood thing.

  4. Oh, Sallee! I feel like we a should start a "Ungraceful Pregnancy Club" of sorts. I was in maternity wear before I was even pregnant! I think you look fab...and yay for us for having close in age babes!

  5. ...and doesn't "a" Ungraceful Pregnancy Club sound even more fitting than "an" Ungraceful Pregnancy Club? I'll be Presidente!

  6. If blogging makes a difference to YOU, that's all that matters. And with two kiddos running around soon, you'll need to do what will help you be a sane momma. So, BLOG AWAY, m'dear! And congratulations!

  8. So excited for you! Claire will love being a big sis! Seeing as my blog has not been updated since I found out I was expecting number two and he is two months old now...blogging and pregnancy apparently don't get along in my world. I hope that's not the case for you because I would miss your posts. They make a difference to me because they make me miss you less and keep me from cooking or crafting! I might just be your biggest blog fan! love you!
