I definitely prefer to do a lot of things in my life online rather than on paper.� I hate paying bills via check through snail mail for example, because there's no indication my payment has been processed on the other end.� However, there's definitely a certain novelty to certain traditional methods.� I love receiving a birthday card in my mailbox and tearing open the envelope, and I jump at the opportunity to send thank-you cards whenever possible. So yes, this blog has served/will continue to serve as a virtual baby book for Emmett that hopefully he will enjoy reading one day when he's older (and/or be completely embarrassed by).� Still, last week I also purchased a physical baby book as well, and I will definitely be filling it to its completion.� This may be due, in part, to the slight resentment of my own incomplete baby book� (really mom, it's not a big deal - I swear).� Understandable though - I was the third child. I also sent out physical birth announcement cards to members of Emmett's family, thanks to my mother who handmade them (and did a really awesome job).� Of course, everyone had already heard the news from phone calls, text messages and the Internet, but my mom and I agreed that there's just something nice about receiving something physical in the mail as well.

Either way, while I'm definitely not planning on abandoning my passion for social media anytime soon, it's still been pretty cool to give a tip of the hat to traditional ways. **Age Timer:** 4 weeks, 5 days [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219559/In-a-Virtual-World-a-Tip-of-the-Hat-to-Traditional-Ways) Topics: [Uncategorized](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/uncategorized) ## [Butt Pregnancy](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219614/Butt-Pregnancy) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Aug 7, 2008 10:47:41 AM No, I'm not having one of these, but when my good friend, Amanda Gravel found out I was pregnant she passed this along, and I thought it was too funny to pass up.� Enjoy!
