I Miss This Blog

Hi everyone.  I'm just stopping in to say how much I miss this blog.  I've had so many posts in my head that I never have the time to actually write.  And I do censor what I write on CaringBridge (link posted on the right side bar)... because if I'm too real, it starts a telephone/email panic chain between friends of my parents, to my parents, to me and everyone is freaking out.  So it's easier to be clinical on CaringBridge than to be real.  That sucks, but the audience is too broad, so that's just how it is.

I know I can be real here... I just don't have the luxury of time to write out my feelings as they are happening.  Especially since going back to work.  This is where I would rather be writing, but it benefits me to write for the majority on CaringBridge right now, keeping everyone informed, and keeping my space here quiet/secret.

I'm reading your blogs still, but rarely commenting.  And almost never commenting if you have captcha (hate that impossible to read thing)... please accept my apologies.  My world is very self centered right now and unfortunately I have to be that way for Ella.

Please don't give up on me here... I promise, my intentions are to come back whenever life returns to some form of 'new' normalcy.  Thank you!

Ella is 4 months old today!

    I stop by from time to time on Caring Bridge. I know things are tough, but I'm glad she's growing so well.

    Happy fourth months, Ella. You two have been an inspiration to me. I wish you the best (and wish we could comment on the Caring Bridge posts). Hang in there! Think of you both often.

    Happy 4 months, Ella! I have been following you & Ella along on Caring Bridge...you deserve to be self centred!! Like Jen, I too wish I could comment on CB posts...I sign in on the guestbook periodically but know not to get too deep there. Take good care, thinking of you both.

    She looks great! I've checked in on Caring Bridge. Miss having you in this space, but you do what you need to do. It's okay to be selfish right now.

    I think of you often and do check in over an caring bridge to see how you and your little Ella are doing. Take care and absolutely your world should be self centered.

    She is so beautiful!

    She's cute and looks so much bigger and like she's getting ready to smile.

    Do what you have to do to get by. Like the others, I check Caring Bridge but don't say too much.

    We will be here when you are ready to come back. Take care of you (and dear Ella).
