Collin is 2 years old!
I’m 15 weeks, 2 days pg.
Well, once again iParenting has disappointed us. We, as diary writers, have been promised time and time again that the sites were going to be updated and things were going to get taken care of, but as you can see, things are still the same. I mean, if you want a good example, take a look over at Pregnancy Today. Only TWO of the eighteen writers are even still pregnant. Everyone else has already had their babies and they still haven’t been moved. I’m not shocked; this is the way it always is. Promises made, promises broken but it just gets so disappointing. The buzz around is that many of the writers are getting fed up with basically being lied too and some writers are even considering leaving iParenting and looking at other parenting sites that offer online diaries, or just closing up all together. That would be a real shame. Already, many of the writers have signed off and said they were closing down their diaries. We writers bring in millions of hits to these websites so if there are no writers, there won’t be any iParenting diaries. Unhappy writers make a lame site! Come on iParenting! It doesn’t take much to make us happy. Work with us here!
Collin’s 2nd birthday was wonderful and everything turned out great. He had a blast and was the happiest little boy around that day considering he had no nap. My pregnancy is progressing well and I’m finally starting to feel like part of the human race again. I have an OB appointment tomorrow (Monday) so after that; I do a full update on the appointment and pregnancy, the birthday party, and life in general. For right now, I thought it would be fun to post an entry about my favorite things so that I can add it to my children’s book so they knew what their mom liked! If anyone has anything in common or would like to comment on something, please post to me.
Take care,
Jennifer, Collin, & baby #2 (edd: 12/26)

MUSIC: Lots! I grew up on The Mama’s and the Papa’s, James Taylor, The Carpenters, and Barry Manalow so I still love that stuff. I also love the old 80’s tunes.
