Our facebook account is currently de-activated. It's not that we don't love you all, but really- had you even noticed we were gone? I guess I just have felt a little overwhelmed caring so much about the 300+ people on our account. (call it my pregnancy hormones?) And honestly it makes me feel like a lazy/bad friend that the best I can do is post a hello on your wall from time to time. I also know that I spent way too much time on the thing wasting time away playing bejeweled, family feud, or checking up on all 300 people. (Not literally, but yeah). We'll probably be back at some point. I thought I'd be missing it horribly after a couple days, but it's been really refreshing not to have it to turn to to burn a few minutes of spare time here and there. Hopefully with some time to re-focus on our little family and our needs, I'll be able to find a healthy balance of 'social networking' and enjoying our little kids(Who are growing up way too fast!)

I've been contemplating the same thing. It does take up lots of time and It's like I just let that be how I communicate when if I really cared for that person I would get a phone number or email and send something more personal.
Oh ya COngrats on the new one again. Can't wait to find out what little bundle of joy is coming to your family!
Good questions to ask- at least you are aware of your limits. We did miss you on FB. I am reading an interesting book about this right now: 'Hamlet's BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age.' I'd recommend it with some of the extra time you may have now :) I have also found it helps to trim your friends list. I once had a couple hundred and then pared it down to a manageable list of family and close friends.
