A return to the blog...

Its been a while - granted, the tiredness of the first three months of being pregnant has finally worn off and I'm back to the usual waking up early, doing the chores, enjoying being alert, and blogging.

The question always is - how much is it worth to blog?  These are random thoughts, or interesting things that crop up - but it does end up consuming a lot of time when done regularly.  I was sent a quote from a personal website stating how family would only be mentioned in the most abstract sense and how the person in question preferred to let their child eventually develop their own online relationship without having their parent's do it for them!  I quite agree.

And so, there have been no ultra sound pictures posted - and of course at the time the baby comes - we will post some pictures for friends and family to be kept up to date (saves me a ton in not having to send out announcement cards to the whole world!).  But that said, how much should I blog?  How much is too much?

I've been pretty quiet on the pregnancy front as well - is it right or wrong to know or disclose the gender of your child prior to its birth?  These are questions that I wonder at times.  Sometimes I feel like telling people "Its really none of your business".  Same goes to the nosy person who asked me how long we were trying to conceive and whether we had any trouble.  "It's none of your business."  And yet, countless websites are so helpful with people expressing their experiences with pregnancy symptoms, the occasional leg cramps and what to do about them.  So is it right or is it wrong to blog so much detailed information?

In this information riddled age, its nice to have a secret.  It's nice to keep something just between yourself and perhaps your loved ones.  So not all information will be disclosed here.  But I promise to report on the randomness that passes, as it happens.  For that in itself is interesting - and more likely to be forgotten!*

*Once upon a time I posted a blog entry about a bird that had flown into my parked car and how I went about getting it out.  Having long since forgotten the tale, when I was perusing some old blog posts looking for a recipe - I stumbled upon it and had a good laugh.  I'd completely forgotten the episode!
