Knuckle Sucker
So, I thought about going private... because sometimes time is just not available to blog. I'm going to try to pre-post some blog posts, because there are things to share and maybe this will help to do time management - to be able to share and also free up some time. I'll give that a go first and so how it works out. Thanks for putting up with me :)
My son loves to suck on his fingers... and at times he will try to grab my fingers and suck on my knuckles.
Which to be honest, is a little bit strange. It feels weird. He uses his gums in a strong grip. Ok, this will sound funny, but it reminded me of something.
Have you ever fed a sting ray? At the New Orleans Aquarium there's an area where you can feed sting rays - you put a small fish between your fingers and lower your hand down into the water. The sting ray covers your hand and you FEEL the mouth sucking the fish from your hands with a powerful grip.
That's what a baby suckling on my knuckles reminds me of... I know... weird, but it's true :)

As for the sucking. My kids would do that at well. Anything that got near their mouths became something that needed a suck. They grew up normal and as adults don't need pacifiers or anything.
I'm glad you aren't going private for now - hope this new thing works out!
Don't feel pressure to blog - just do it when you have time. That's my advice, for what it's worth. =)
I fed a stingray at Sea World years ago!
I have often thought about staying off the blog but it's a good place to document my pregnancy, though I have been keeping a hand written journal as well.
