Why Blog?

I've never been one to put my thoughts out there in such a public manner. Well, I guess that's a lie since I used Xanga, Myspace and Facebook! Although, status updates are much different from a persons "diary" entry.  Over the last few months, I've found myself having much to say, as well as ways to cope with recent traumatic events of my daughters entrance into this world.  I've found that by reading others blogs, especially those related to births and breastfeeding, have helped me overcome ppd and to find confidence in myself again.  Not only do I think this may be very theraputic, but maybe some of what I may have to say may help another get through one of life's hurdles. I'm not saying every entry is going to be this long, life changing story; but who knows what this could turn into.  I think I may encourage my husband to even start one. :)
