Turns out we are all growing of late...Hope is just shy of 9 lbs today, Momma Shannon is enjoying the recognition from a well-deserved promotion to Director of Organization Change Management, and I am learning a bit about myself related to the deepening love for a child, the vicissitudes of motherhood and an admission of post-partum anger. All this, combined with a wonderful visit from our friends Cass and Lynn made for quite a weekend!
I'm thinking of starting a new blog focused on motherhood -- considerations, musings, truth-telling, myth-busting...a place to break the conspiracy of silence about the challenges of losing one's identity while gaining a whole new one; to reflect on how to keep one's primary partnership safe and healthy while turning the attention so myopically onto the next generation; a place of honest exchange to break a breast-feeding mother's isolation. I have not done a search yet on other mothers' blogs to see what currently exists, for I am sure there are many...so perhaps this is the place to begin. Ah, if only we had hig-speed internet.

Thank you for the regular updates... Hope is adorable, you and Shannon both look great too! And with a vocabulary that includes "vicissitudes" your brain is obviously not affected as most by the lack of sleep and raging hormones - I'm impressed!
As for your new blog idea, you go girl... of course, your proposed topics seem much to deep to this mother of three who tries just to keep her head above water :) To me it is all about finding the continuous humor in every day life.
Happy August.
I love reading your blog! You have a great talent for writing. I will read where ever you post!
Congratulations Shannon on your 'growth'!!! Well done!
The no high speed blows big chuncks, doesn't it? *sigh* A pitfall of small town living.
Can't wait to see you and Hope.
Blessings and hugs
Pam
