After Julian was born, I kept coming back just for updates and to watch him grow-he's just too cute!M&Ms Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944045280431124311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583924606730448735.post-71826737597826912082008-03-01T20:32:00.000-05:002008-03-01T20:32:00.000-05:00Hi Colette!As you know we decided to go private wi...Hi Colette!<BR/>As you know we decided to go private with our blog...just as a precaution.

I have a hard time posting personal stuff on my blog. I keep a journal for those thoughts. I started a blog because I liked the idea that A R's BF would read about her. But, we are still waiting so I don't have a lot to say right now. You will decide what is best for you and Julian.wswedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188677588418689452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583924606730448735.post-48482924077130751212008-02-27T12:38:00.000-05:002008-02-27T12:38:00.000-05:00Well, you know me, I'm a regular here.

As far as going private or not, here are some pros and cons:<BR/>Pros-<BR/>you can REALLY post what you want.<BR/>you can put any pictures you want.<BR/>You never have to worry about rude comments spoiling your day.<BR/>Cons-<BR/>You may not get as many comments.<BR/>You have to make sure your posts are "politically correct" or you may get rude comments.<BR/>Personally, I love having a private blog, but thats just my opinion.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054187209428838640noreply@blogger.com
