I haven’t posted in months because frankly, all I could think is what’s so important about my life that people want to read about it? Certainly I travel a lot, and I have some random experiences, I just felt like it wasn’t really important enough to write about. Who am I after all? And Lord knows I”m not the best writer.
Truth is though, the reason for reading anyone’s blog is to keep up with those people. It’s a little voyeuristic, a little entertainment and a dash of keeping up with your friend’s and families lives. And though I didn’t really think I had much to talk about, that changed about 16 weeks ago.
‘Cause I’m knocked up.
Yep, I said it. There was the thought of turning this into a baby blog, but I felt awkward about it. Certainly this is a huge deal, but it’s not as if it’s the ONLY big thing I’ve done or will do in my life. I suddenly became acutely aware of how much I was (or wasn’t as the case may be) talking about this pregnancy. I became obsessed with the idea that I didn’t want to take up all the air space-I mean really who wants to hear endlessly about someone else’s life right?
And I know what anyone who knows me is thinking. Yes, I am normally totally at ease being the chatty cathy, or having eyes on me. Hello, theater major? But as much as it may surprise you, it surprises me 10 fold. I mean, I can’t even say “I’m pregnant” but instead announce “I’m knocked up”. Yet here I am saying it, it feels awkward for me to talk about the pregnancy, or the baby, or what I’m going though. It’s not that I don’t want to really, it’s just suddenly foreign to me.
And while I stand by my statement that no one wants to constantly hear white noise about someone else’s life constantly, as has been pointed out to me people who love me want to know b/c frankly, it’s what is happening in our worlds and those people do care.
So, with that, the boy has been working on updating the Allieandmatt.com website, which should be revealed in a few days time. On it the hope is that you’ll be able to see updates, clips, photos and other fun little items about Jocky Boomtasic (the boy’s nickname). Until then…
