Before I gave birth to our daughter, I used to spend a significant amount of time on the phone, telling my husband every little bit of things that happened in my day. He is in the military and does not live with me (us), so the phone calls are the only communications we have.
During a recent phone call, he expressed a little frustration. He said he felt left out, because I don't tell him a lot of things like I used to. He said he used to think I talked too much, but now I am on the other end of the spectrum. I realize I didn't keep him updated on everything, because there are so many things happening with the baby and so little time on my hands to spare. Of course I want him to know everything about our baby, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed and I can't keep up.
I am hoping that this situation will change when he goes to his next assignment, where he can come home every night.

Wendy/Ellen - He can access email and the internet, but he doesn't have the habit to. I have told him he could become a member of Gather.... He isn't too interested.
I try to keep the Gather posting updated, because I believe this is more of a "permanent memory". If I tell my husband verbally, both of us could forget in a few years (or sooner). But I am putting everything down on Gather, so we can go back and refresh our memories.
I just hope Gather will still be here!
