Come out, come out, whoever you are…

This week is International Blog Delurking Week, which means we have to stop silently reading and start commenting so the owners of the blogs we read on a daily basis will realize their words are actually reaching an audience and will continue writing. I am guilty of not commenting myself. I read two “mommy” blogs religiously (they had the same due-date as me), and have done so since early on in my pregnancy with Liv, but I have yet to comment on them. I promise to delurk, if you’ll do the same. Make a blogger’s (my) day and say hello!

    Ooh, I love the idea of Int’l Blog Delurking Week! I don’t think people without blogs understand just how much it makes your day to get a comment or two! :)

    Hi Erika, you caught me :) I’ve been reading since just before Liv was born! Keep writing, I have fun reading your posts. Kade is very entertaining not to mention smart and Liv is beautiful.

    A brief update on me… I’ve been married 5 years now (6 in may) and moved back to sandusky in 2002 from San Jose, California with my husband, Chris, and his son, Matthew. Matthew is now 11 and Benjamin just turned 1 before Christmas.

    I ran into your parents at Drugmart right after i had Benny and it’s all a blur but they had told me about Kade and that you were pregnant again. I say it was a blur because i was a mess that night probably still in my pajamas waiting for antibiotics for my mastitis (not to mention i was a little tired from not sleeping a wink since the day Benny was born). i might have even had the baby with me, i can’t remember. Liv sounds perfect to me. Feeding anything over 2 hours is a dream. Benjamin ate every 2 hours day or night from birth to 4 months and i just couldnt take it any longer. I’m proud to have made it that long. I first said i’d breastfeed “at least a year,” then when i got started I prayed to make it through the week. It was a love hate thing.

    Anyways, I’m glad you are doing well. I’ll keep you posted. Now that you know i’m reading i’ll most likely coment.

    Ciao ciao,
    Viviana

    Hi Viviana! I’m glad to hear that you are doing well. I love the name, Benjamin, and I’m sure he’s absolutely adorable. This is when it gets fun. I thoroughly enjoyed motherhood once the baby phase was over (Kade was NOT the easiest of babies). If you ever want to talk “mommy” or just catch up, send me an email (erika@kyleroth.com). Take care and please keep reading.

    Hi Erika- this is Erin Smith, one of Brittany’s friends from way back in Kindergarden at SPPS. I am a faithful reader of your blog. The stories are so entertaining and real, I relate a lot, I have a 9 month old son named Tristan. You’re blogs are something I look forward too! Thanks!
