A clarification

Here's why blogging's hard for me: I'm worried that things come out wrong. Like the following statement from last post for example:

"So far, I'm loving being a mom. I fully expected a difficult transition emotionally and otherwise, but I guess when you go in with such low expectations, you're bound to be surprised. I feel lucky to be so."

After I published the post, I realized that could come across like I wasn't looking forward to being a mom. I totally was. I've just heard that the postpartum period can be rough, and it's been easier than I thought it would be. That's all I was trying to say.

And here I am posting it an another post because I'm pretty sure Google Reader doesn't update as posts are edited. I have no idea, but I just had to clarify that before my overanalyzing got the better of me. Actually, I think this post is proof that it already did.

It is definitely hard to communicate clearly while blogging. And, no...google reader doesn't let us know when you update.

I totally know what you're talking about, though. When Abe and I got married we were all, "This is going to be SO HARD. That's what everyone says. That marriage is SO HARD and you have to work REALLY REALLY HARD." So we were shocked when it turned out to be fun and quite enjoyable.

Three cheers for neurotic over analyzing!

Though I have to agree that people less oblivious to life than myself (and/or more loving of little children) might very well have misinterpreted, so good call.
