So, don't let me make an ass out of myself...
I'm wanting to get to know you, my readers...I know some of you, but not all of you. Even those that I do know, I don't know all that much about you! (Plus, I'm just a big old copycat!)
Who saw this amazing number of replies on dear Tertia's blog?
643! I about died when I saw that!
Needless to say, I know I am no where near as whitty and smart (and of course as gorgeous or divine) as Miss Tertia, but MAYBE I could get 1% of her comments? What do you say? That's only 6 comments...lets blow that number out of the park! ooh! Dare I dream 2%?
Plus, you get to talk about yourself, EVERYONE likes to talk about themselves!
**I don't care if you do it anomously either!**
So, my dear friends tell me about yourself...
(Remember, I'm a big copycat ;) Thanks for the idea Tertia...(yes people, I did email Tertia asking for permission...)

What do we have in common, if anything? kiddies, and some other random things, I guess.
2. How did you find my blog? Hmm, someone I read linked to you when you found out you were pregnant...but for the life of me, I can't remember. Sorry!
3. Do you comment? If yes, AWESOME! If no, how come? Nope, I prefer the lurking lifestyle, I guess. But I have been tempted (as evidenced by today).
4. Is there something particular about my blog that you like? If so, what? What makes you come back? (If you DO come back!) I feel like I have gotten to know you and like reading about what you have to say.
5. What would you like me to talk more about? Whatever it is you like.
6. What would you like me to talk LESS about?(its OK, go ahead and tell me!) My feeling is that it is your blog, so please talk about anything you like.
7. Locations! Where in the world are you reading? Whats the weather like today? Minnesota. The "big blizzard" we supposedly had on Friday is melting away, tg. It is 40-ish and sunny and makes me want to garden (except there is too much snow).
8. Which blog did you look at right before(or going to look at right after) mine? (a tricky way to get more blog selections! I lurk, I mean, read perpetually pregnant before, then a little pregnant after!
9. Suggestions you'd like to offer? About anything! I'll take any and all assvice! Nope.
Hope this helps get your numbers up!

1. What do we have in common, if anything?
Spain and traveling, miscarriage, our boys, blogging,
2. How did you find my blog? I think it was through Christine but it was so long ago
3. Do you comment? If yes, AWESOME! If no, how come?
Yes, I do. =)
4. Is there something particular about my blog that you like? If so, what? What makes you come back? (If you DO come back!)
You're honest. I've felt through my pregnancy and new mommyhood that you were the "leader" going ahead of our pack and I was following shortly behind. I guess that's what initially made me feel connected to you and I remember a long time ago when Logan had his MRI, I just remember at that time being so concerned for you and for him and I think that's where my regular lurking began. Since then you have been such a comfort and support (you truly don't know how thankful I am for the Breastfeeding thing...).
5. What would you like me to talk more about?
Nothing in particular. Whatever strikes you.
6. What would you like me to talk LESS about?(its OK, go ahead and tell me!)I agree with Mia.
7. Locations! Where in the world are you reading? Whats the weather like today? Southern California. Sunny but chilly and windy.
8. Which blog did you look at right before(or going to look at right after) mine? (a tricky way to get more blog selections! Hrm. I was over at Katie's (yeesh, I forgot the name of hers) and I'm going to TOni's next...I go right down my list. Then down some of yours and some of Christine's and then I have to find MamaDuck because I've been too lazy to add her to my blogroll and I'm rambling

Hi Jennifer-
You don't know me. I stumbled on your blog through someone else who stumbled on your blog that then stumbled on mine! The blogworld is crazy.
I've been reading about your adventures with babies for a few months now. And you are a good & witty writer-otherwise I wouldn't keep coming back!
I guess I haven't commented yet because I kind of feel like I'm invading your privacy a little. Even though your blog is public! But here I am, leaving a comment. yey!
I must say your tales of childbirth and raising two young children are amazing. I plan on getting pregnant this year and I really like reading about all the ups and downs of being a Mommy. I'm learning a lot.
I'm 33. I live in NYC with my husband (married a yr and a half). I work for a phone company (boring job).
I hope things get better for you soon. It seems like you are always at the hospital or Dr's office. Crazy times!
Feel free to pop by my blog anytime.
~Simone

geez, I only had one kid but I'd have to say make time for yourself so you don't forget who you are. I know you're trying to do that already so it seems silly but,looking back, I lost my sense of self after Jackson was born because I gave myself over to my circumstances.
