Going private

Hello everyone...
I've been thinking a lot lately about making my blog private. I post a lot of pictures of our family and talk a lot about our personal life. As Edwin's professional boxing career takes off, I in no way want to be misquoted or provide intimate information about our family to potential opponents, the media, or anyone else "googling" his name. It's sad to say but boxing can be a dirty business.
It was a hard decision because I have found public blogs so helpful and I want to be helpful to the public as well. However, at this time in our lives, I think it is best that we make our blog private. This will take a little while, especially with Serena's bronchoscopy tomorrow. But in the next week, I'd ask anyone who wants to be invited to read our blog to provide their email address, and I will add you to the reader's list.
Feel free to alert new bloggers to my blog if you feel our experiences would be helpful. I want to continue to support other parents in any way possible; especially to families with 23 weekers or other micro preemies.
Sorry to have to do this, but I know it's for the best.

Thanks everyone!
I'll update you all on Serena's bronch when I have a chance!

Me too! I don't have any direct experience with preemies, but stumbled upon your blog a good while ago, and have been following your cuties ever since. I would really miss you all if you disappeared - may I continue along for the ride? And now of course you have my blog address , so please feel free to look in on our lives too. (I felt shy about commenting before so never did....)
