Can I get a "get out of jail free" card, please??? (*updated*)

Do I get a free pass for being a new mom, so I don't feel so bad about ICLW?? The first day was great. It was fun to jump around to see different blogs - some I follow already and others that I'd never visited before. But then day two came, and my parents came to visit, and A had her first doctor's visit. So.... I didn't exactly get around to reading blogs, much less commenting.

But today is a new day, and I am going to do my best to leave my 12 comments today. But please forgive me if I don't quite get there..... (pretty please?). This community has been so amazing for me, and I only started blogging a few months ago, so it really does mean a lot to me to participate in ICLW.

So last night after A went to bed, I was thinking about some themes that I could write about during this week. I know I had some good ideas, none of which I can remember right now. Anyone else have some good ideas of what I could focus on for the next few days?

OK, I'm off to start commenting.....

**Update: Yips! I just left 12 comments, so I'm caught up for now. I still need to respond to 2 comments on my own blog, but I'll give you all some time to leave some more comments before I do that. :)

Congratulations on being a new mom!!

This is my first time doing ICLW - little did I know the work my "unlurking" would entail. But it's been fun. LOL

I can't imagine tackling ICLW and a new baby.

I am *beyond* thrilled that you left a comment on my blog, and I followed it back to yours! Congratulations on the adoption of your sweet A!!

My husband and I have done a lot of preparations to adopt, because we feel if this fourth pregnancy of mine doesn't work out, that is how we are going to build our family. I feel so attached to adoption blogs even though we haven't gone that route (yet?), and I am very very happy I'll be able to follow your journey now!

Good luck adjusting to your new life! I can't imagine how weird and wonderful it must feel to be an insta-mommy!!

I have some serious catching up to do this weekend for ICLW. I hope to get ahead this weekend, because the weekdays have been quite busy for me and my regular blogging has had to take a back seat. Thanks for visiting my blog - I love your drag queen name!

Congratulations on your baby girl and I am sure no-one would bother if you can't catch up with ICLW!
Enjoy your time with your baby!

I think you should qualify for the card.

I love ICLW but I seem to start strong and fade.

Here from ICLW. You are a tough cookie. I don't know if I can do ICLW when I am a new mom.

All the best for life with your daughter.
