Bad Blogger Award
Posted by Mr. ShelbyJul 2
I am here to award myself an award. I’m not proud of it, but regardless, an award of this caliber needs to take place.
I’m a bad blogger.
Not only am I a bad blogger, but I’m a bad commenter. My lack of blogging and commenting has been on my mind lately, and Babysmiling’s Thoughtful Thursday post really hit the nail on the head. It’s an excellent post regarding things that really turns her off from reading blogs.
It’s not that I don’t have a lot to talk about… Things are better than they have ever been before. This year has been full of amazing changes, and excitement. I’m just not sure how to share it with everyone. Maybe just hit the highlights in a list at some point? Obviously, Shelby and I are going though a major life change, but I’m just not sure if I’m ready to be one of those “pregnancy after infertility blogs”. At this point, all I’d write about is what we’re shopping for, the latest karate kick from the little one, that we’ve named Baby G. The list goes on, but I’m just not sure what that means for my blog entries…
I did want to direct you to Shelby’s post about reflecting on the past year. A lot has changed for us, but I wanted to second her “thank you” to the ALI community.
Thank you for being there for us.
Thank you for supporting us.
Thank you for being a circle of friendship and trust.
Thank you for reading.
After 5 years, we still walk the path of infertility. 7 IUI's, 1 miscarriage, 1 IVF and tens of thousands of dollars later we find ourselves pregnant. The path is still not clear, but we take it one step at a time.

I don’t think you are a bad blogger. The nature of blogging and other online support systems is that it’s fluid. There are always people coming and going as they need to. Lives change, for good or bad, and so do needs for support and encouragement. Your blog will change and become what you need it to be when you need it to.

You are not a bad blogger. All these bad blogger posts are making me feel incredibly guilty myself…
You are not a bad blogger…so don’t go there.
Life is life. Blogging is not life.

It’s OK not to blog every day. Sometimes a break is needed or sometimes a break just happens. No need to tag yourself as a “bad blogger”. Life happens. Support is here regardless of if you blog often or not.

Oh come on you are not a bad blogger. Why do I feel like I started a tsunami?
Also, the support is unwavering! Happiness, Sadness, Joy, glumness, the community is always there!

If you’re a bad blogger, than I am the ultimate of sinners. A thousand lashes with a wet noodle to both of us.
