I was looking back on my blog and reading some old posts. As a person who has never kept a journal, (my scrapbooks have always served as my "journal") I realized how lucky I am to have documentation of my daily life--especially before I was pregnant with Mason and throughout my pregnancy (since most of my posts these days are nothing but Mason!) Sometimes it's hard to remember exactly what life was like just 2 years ago! Also, I'm still working on my pregnancy scrapbook and now I have instant journaling for the pages--what I was doing, thinking, & feeling at the time. Maybe someday I'll get the pregnancy book finished. I think I'm procrastinating working on it because then the pregnancy will be a solidified memory--no longer a fresh life-changing event that just happened. That may sound wierd to you, but if you're a mother, I'm sure you understand! Holding onto the image of your tiny baby as he grows each day is hard! So if my blog serves no other purpose, at least it is documenting those little everyday happenings that I probably wouldn't remember otherwise. Which is why I did it in the first place.
I posted this "5" Quiz in 2005 and I thought that I should update it for 2007..it's funny to see what I was listening to back then (if you're curious, you'll have to look back!) --here's what my answers are right now...

What a BEE-utiful picture! Yes, it is fun to look back. And sometimes scary... I think a pregnancy journal is an amazing gift for your child later in life. I SOOOO regret I didn't do one. You will be happy you did, until of course, the second comes along, and then you will just feel painfully guilty if you don't have the gumption to do another. But I'm skipping ahead... enjoy it! Do it! You've inspired me to work on my faux/cheater scrapbook of kids school pictures tonight!
Thanks for the compliments, Lela! And so glad I could inspire you--whether it be faux or not! :)
