I think that writing is a craft. One that you have to work at and, for it to be any good, one you must enjoy doing. This blog was originally intended to be a sounding board for me to express my thoughts about pregnancy, about being a mom, about what an amazing little man we're raising.
Somehow, especially in the last few months, I feel like it's become more of a chore. I feel obligated to update every weekend. It takes a good amount of time to upload photos (sometimes more than two hours depending on the size and number of photos and videos due to our internet speed).
Although I'm glad to have updated weekly for the last 52 weeks, updating is the thing that weighs on me on the weekends. I often list it as a thing that needs to be accomplished in the long list of other things that need to get done on those two short days at the end of the week: "laundry, cat food, target, practice piano... oh, and I need to update the blog."
What am I getting at? I will continue to update on a regular basis. At the very least, there will be monthly updates about Miles. There will most likely be more frequent updates than that. My goal is to return to writing, to write for the love of writing, to document some fresh thoughts about my life, my family, my perfect little guy.
This is a good developmental place for us to move on from the weekly update about Miles. Lucas stated it most perfectly the other day, "We won't still be doing weekly updates when he's 16."
I sure hope not, anyway.
