Why blog?

I have never written a blog before, but I thought it would be nice to start one for a number of reasons.  First, it would allow me to update friends and family with any new information all at once (no longer having to send out separate emails). Second, I hope that being "public" about our struggles may help another mother out there going through something similar.  I have found that the most comforting thing for me is to talk to other mothers who really understand what I am going through. And finally, I hope writing about everything will be therapeutic for me.
