Top ten reasons why I have been Missing in Action in the blog world.
10. The holidays wore me out. I got so used to being busy and never sitting down at my desk for long enough to blog anything.
9. It seems no one else is blogging anymore. A lot of the original people on my blog list have abandoned blogging all together. Sad.
8. I read this article about blogging. I found my self questioning why I blog. Do I do it to record events of my life and to share them with family and friends who are interested? Or is there another reason I do it?
After reading so many other blogs I started to compare myself. Definitely not as crafty as one or as fabulous as another. Then snapping back into reality I recognize how delusional that all sounds and that's not why I started blogging but somehow every once in a while I morph back into thinking that I need to be accepted by others through my blog.
The author of the article writes, "Blogs have always been a way to mediate and prettify your own life; you'd be a fool to compare your real self to someone else's carefully arranged surface self."
So of course I feel ridiculous about my previous confessions. I am who I am. My blog is what it is.
I read a greeting card once that said, "15 years ago you were livid when someone read your diary, now you are insulted when no one comments on your blog."
How silly I am to allow what others may or may not think to define me or make me feel a certain way.
7. My 7th reason for not blogging is that I have been super tired lately.
6. I have also been picky about my food.
5. I have been gaining weight.
4. I have been peeing 5 times a night.
3. I have been nauseous for a month straight
2. I have been on my couch for the last month in my robe.
1. I have been MIA from blogging because I'm growing a baby in my tummy and I am extremely sick and miserable. I am feeling better little by little thanks to all the meds that are keeping me intact. I'm trying to stay positive I know there are many who don't have the ability to get pregnant for one reason or another and I should be grateful. It is still very difficult to be very sick for such a long period of time. Jason has been so supportive and is really picking up all of the slack. My kids have been understanding and very helpful. Lucky for me, I live close to my mom and she has saved me from many days I thought were impossible to get through.

Congratulations!!! Sorry you are sick. Morning (or all-day sickness) is the worst.
STACY!!!! I may not blog much- but I do read other blogs. Sometimes I feel stupid putting everything that I've done on my blog... in a way I feel fake.
Enough about blogs though-- YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!! HOLY CONGRATS!!! So so so so excited and happy for you! How great and what a blessing that your mom is close to help out. Are you announcing a due date? Are you still in the first trimester??
1,000 CONGRATS FROM ME IN SAN JOSE!!!
Congrats! This is so exciting. I hope you get past the worst of it soon.
ps--I read that same article about blogging. Insightful, for sure. Whenever I read your blog it just shines who you are. And then i kick myself for never getting together with you while I lived close :)
Welcome to the dark side...three kids sure makes life interesting! But honestly, congratulations! I was sick literally my whole pregnancy with Owen, so I hope your sickness goes away soon. It's hard enough to feel like a good wife and mother when you're not sick from pregnancy, so I'm glad you have Jason's and your mom's support. All the best to you guys!

Stace, I still read your blog. I think it's a great way to stay in touch. I do it so I can remember what I actually do in life (darn that short term memory failure!). Anyway, congrats on the pregnancy, you guys make beautiful babies!
