Why The Blog?

I have been blogging for a bit now, since I began training for the Chicago Marathon in the Spring of 2008. My other blog began as a training blog and now has really turned into a "daily musings blog" in which I simply chat about my life and the world around me. I have refrained from baby talk on that blog for a few reasons 1) many of the people who check it out are from my running-blogging-friends group and most likely do not want to be inundated with baby-blabber and 2) up until now I really havent done a whole lot of chatting about the baby at all! I spend a lot of my time on the internet, whether it be for research (I am a PhD student), for fun (love the celebrity gossip), or just to pass the time (as a PhD student, I have summers off!). Recently I find much of what I am doing revolves around this upcoming baby: searching product reviews, learning more about pregnancy and/or parenthood, reading about the experiences of other's who have gone through this process...etc. I really chronicled my marathon experiences but have not done so with this "marathon leap" and you know what? I am beginning to feel a bit guilty about it... Now as I am approaching towards the end of my second trimester, I figured its better late than never, right?
