Well here it is, my first post on our new blog. Believe it or not I have actually tried blogging before. Possibly even before “blog” was added to the Websters, and everyone including my mom knew what it was. (Mom, you do know what blogging is, right?) Primarily due to my disdain and ineptitude for all things ritual, our last attempt lasted all of two weeks. And I never could get the pictures to work. But since this fad has been around for a few years now and ain’t nexy no mo (read: “is no longer the next, sexy thing” for those of you needing a translation) thanks to MySpace or whatever those hip young whipper-snappers are doing these days, I figure it’s about time for me to get back on the bandwagon. No offense to my fellow bloggers, by the way. As you can see, I’m right here with you. But in all honesty, I don’t think blogging still qualifies as nexy.

Anyhoo, my motivation is simple. I’m all about efficiency and organization, so being pregnant, I figure this might save me the shelf space and manual effort of a detailed baby diary. Assuming I keep it current (despite the aforementioned ineptitude/disdain for routine), the fam and anyone else feeling obliged to feign interest can get their baby fix in real time, and probably with the added bonus of less repetition or “you had to be there’s.”

So, what on earth should I write? If you’re waiting for any sort of wit or wisdom to pour forth, you have a long wait ahead. I can only promise to try to keep you abreast of current happenings in the Birchfield Barnyard within what I consider to be a reasonable timeframe. Please note: we must all recognize that this is a subjective standard, and since I’m the one writing the blog, I guess we’ll go with my interpretation of “reasonable timeframe.” Actual results may vary.

So, welcome. Enjoy. Peace and glad tidings. Or whatever normal people say in closing.
