Regular visitors will undoubtedly have noticed that I've been less than prompt with posts to the blog of late.
It's not that there aren't things happening exactly, but a lot of what happens now is pretty much the same, day in, day out. It's not mundane to us, but it's not going to make for great reading if I write:
'Day 100023 - Moisturised bump. Baby is kicking again. I still can't feel it.'
'Day 100024 - Baby is kicking again. I still can't feel it. Moisturised bump.'
'Day 100025 - Moisturised bump. Baby is kicking again. I still can't feel it.' and so on.
I acknowledged before that perhaps I'd set myself up with something a Herculean task (the little known '13th task of', in which Herc recorded his thoughts and feeling about cleaning out the Aegean Stables etc). Perhaps Herculean is something of a grandiose title. It's hardly heroic to write some stuff every day. However, it can be quite hard to get off my fat arse and write something.
I'm still reluctant to give up on a daily blog, if only because it would feel like a failure. It's only got another 130-ish entries to go, fer gawd's sake.
Perhaps I should just start writing 'Day 100026 - Moisturised bump. Baby is kicking again. I still can't feel it,' every day for a month and say bollocks to it? Ultimately, as lovely as it is that there are a few groovy folks who enjoy reading this blog, and as much as I undoubtedly write for that select audience from time to time, and as much as knowing that there are people reading this makes it much more likely that I'll write it, the intention behind doing the blog was not for the entertainment of the Interweb at large. However, it has to be interesting for me too. I don't want to be bored by what I'm writing.
Having said all that, and despite not having posted anything for several days, I now find that I have about five different things I want to write about, so I'll be back up to date as soon as I can get them written.
Anyway, it's surely a pertinent point to say that there's not a huge amount going on right now? Sure, our daughter is busy getting larger and larger and continuing to develop but there simply isn't that much going on pregnancy-wise. A lot of it from now on is likely to be quite mundane. This is only going to get worse. We've passed most of the major milestones. Barring any major changes to K___'s health - which obviously we hope won't happen - it's largely a case of waiting now. So, here's hoping I can manage to find things to keep writing about.
