Dearest Lurkers,

Yes, I mean you. You, who always stops by to read, but never comments. I just wanted to say welcome to My House. Come by whenever you'd like!

It's strange, really. I know that you are out there. However I didn't realize how many of you there were until I put up the little scrolly-thing that lists the countries. I now feel a little self-conscious about my posts! I'm starting to feel a bit like I'm living in a glass house. Like everybody knows my business, and I don't know any of yours.

It's ok, though. I'll get used to it. I hope that it does not effect my posts in anyway. I want to be able to continue to write freely on here. I love having this blog as a place to vent, and I really don't care who's reading.

And I have to admit that I lurk on more blogs than I comment. I'm one of you, too.

I have a favor to ask of you. Would you mind giving me a holler just this once? I won't bother you for it again. I'm just curious. You don't even have to tell me who you are. But I'd love to know how you found me, have you been here before, and if so, what brings you back. I appreciate it.

In return, I promise to give a holler at the blogs where I often lurk. Who knows, it could be yours...

Hey, guilty as charged! I am a lurker. Generally, because I read at work and really don't have time to post. I love your blog and love your baby success story. I am still trying after 4 miscarriages, but hopeful that it will happen sooner or later. Please keep writing, I really enjoy your blog.

I was just talking about this with David when I copied you and put the country scrolling thing on my blog. I suddenly felt all weird...and responsible to say something interesting...but I've got nothing. =)
I'm glad I'm not the only one with that feeling.

Uhm. I'm here. But I'm pretty sure you knew that.

I've been reading this blog for quite awhile- my pregnancy with my second son was not too far apart from yours (he was born in January). The way you share your thoughts and feelings with such honesty and an open heart has kept me coming back to read more of your story. Maura truely is a little beauty- I never did get to congratulate you but thank you for continuing to write and share.

I'm another one of your lurkers! I may have left a message on here awhile ago, but I'm not sure. I found your blog when I was trying to conceive over 2 years ago. I really enjoy reading about your every day life with your beautiful little girl, who by the way is only a few weeks older than my little girl. Feel free to stop by my blog anytime!

Hey! I'm a lurker from the UK, I found you through a blog of a blog, if you catch my meaning ;op I have to say I really enjoy your blog and come back from time to time to see how things are going in your world - it'll be a while before I start a family (I'm engaged and getting married first) so I thought I'd lurk some blogs for some advice on childcare etc.. think I missed my calling - should've been a midwife instead of training to be an architect! There you go - you know something about me now ;oD Keep up the good work and don't be feeling self concious ;oD you have a wonderful family and a great way of telling a story. xx
