I’m sitting here in the middle of December staring at this familiar WordPress screen thinking “Am I going to be up for this challenge?”
I started a website a long time ago…back in the late 90s but it was a pain in the ass to update since they didn’t have the blogging software they do now.
Fast forward to 2005 and they had the software that made it a cinch to tell the world what your inner thoughts were about. I always gravitated more towards a website/blog instead of social media because I thought that one day all my thoughts will be gone from Facebook whereas somehow this blog will survive Judgement Day (I’m talking about the Terminator version of course and not the bibilical version!).
I would say I gave a really good five years but then it petered out over time and I just didn’t feel like talking much anymore on the digital realm.
But here it is 2015 and we are going to have a kid and I remember the reason I started the blog in the first place…I wanted my kids to see how awesome I was back in the day (and hopefully still am in the far future!)
I’m not sure what this blog will become but I’m sure for the next while it will focus on aspects of pregnancy as I think it would be really interesting for our kid to see what we were going through. I’m constantly wondering if my own parents have the same thoughts I do like “How am I going to afford this kid?” and “Is it too early to start playing some Pearl Jam for the kid?” and “Whoa, I have to sign up for daycare seven years before thinking of having a kid in Ottawa? Thanks for the heads up!”
For the time being, even though it’s December, I’m going to backfill some events since September and make it look like I was actually blogging back in September. But we all know the truth…it took me months to get off my slacker ass and start this thing back up!
Have fun reading about pregnancy.
