A: I have no idea. At first, it was to document a pregnancy, but I'm just not sure anymore.
I've come to realize that sometimes I act like my mom acted when I was little. Of course, I had no idea that my sister and I were nearly driving her crazy or that she loved us so much that she could burst. I didn't always realize that she was doing SO much on her own because my dad was working long hours to provide for us all.
In other words, I HAD NO IDEA HOW HARD THIS MOMMY-THING COULD BE. I also had no idea that it was worth every bit of the work, drama, tears, prayers and headaches. Oh, the headaches.
One day, I hope that Maggie and Ellie will be able to look back and know who I am right now. Writing a journal would be ideal, but blogging seems a little more realistic.
I still have my mom and I often call her when the crazy is happening and apologize for things I did in my childhood. All of my grandparents have passed away and I often wish I knew more about different parts of their lives. Anyway, I want Maggie and Ellie to have this part of who I am (and who they are, too). Crazy and everything!
I have said before that I'm not a scrapbook person, so this is it. I hope to blog a little more often, but we stay pretty busy living our lives.

I'm not sure either most days and have recently had fleeting thoughts of giving it up. Then, I remember why I do it. Much like you, it is my means of documenting and if I give it up, my kids have nothing more than what I've written in their baby books. Blogging is much easier and less time-consuming for me! Guess I'll keep doing it although I can't seem to find the time much anymore.
