Blogging on t.v.

Did anyone watch House last week? We just got around to watching it last night, and I just had to post about it.

House's patient for the week was a blogger. Her blog was about her life in general and she was part of a large blog community. The episode began with her and her husband fighting because he didn't want her writing about him. Then, once in House's care, she blogged from her hospital bed to get her readers' opinions on different treatment options, and one blogger friend even visited her in the hospital.

When one of the doctors wondered how she could share intimate details to strangers, she replied, "They're not strangers. They read my blog and I comment on theirs'."

But the best line of the episode, in my opinion, was to her husband - "I wish you had a blog so I could know what you're thinking."

So funny, so sad, and so true! I, for one, wasn't too great at conveying my emotions around the time I started this blog and quite often Ryan would read my posts just to have a clue what I was thinking. Instead of just being a testament to our poor communication skills, it actually opened the lines of communication and he was much better equipped to help me. I'm very grateful he doesn't balk at my sharing of personal information like the husband on House!

I also wanted to thank a friend who so graciously offered to take pictures of Clara a few weeks ago. You may have seen on GIMH's blog that it was a dual photo shoot with both babies. Well, this friend is very talented and took beautiful pictures. And we are so grateful that we were able to benefit from her talents!

Here are some of my favorite shots (and I can't get over how much different Clara already looks since these were taken!):








Thanks again to our lovely photographer!
