I blogged through birth!
Well, I actually didn't blog through birth, I just wanted to get your attention, but Rachel Mosteller, the author of this article did. I blogged through birth!
I found the article in one of my baby magazines and here Ms. Mosteller actually did blog through her first child's birth....why? She says it was to keep friends and family updated on her labor and delivery. I say it's because she's crazy! I'm still not even sure I want to be awake for it, but this woman took her laptop and had the presence of mind to form actual sentences!
For me, this is waaaay too much information. Why anyone would want to tell everyone they know (and lots of people they don't know) about every pevlic exam, injection and bodily function that occurs during childbirth is beyond me. That a magazine such as American Baby is touting this fascinating morsel of information it in its pages tells me that blogging has come quite a long way and apparently I'm IN a demographic that was TMI about this kind of thing. (although I can assure you I only read it for this class!)

Frankly, I've never understood the handy-cam in the delivery room syndrome. This seems to be yet another heinous overreach in that direction. The Internet serves to Posted by: John Broholm | May 12, 2006 4:23 PM
I can assure you there will be no handy cam, computer or anything else in my room. I think technology is a wonderful thing, but for me there are definitely times that are meant for a person's memory alone. Besides, who wants to know their Mommy was screaming like a banshee and cursing like a sailor when they were brought into the world? LOL!
