Giving Thanks #3: The Internet

Seriously though...

Have you ever wondered what your life would be without the internet today? I looked at my mom shortly after Katelyn was born and said, "How did you have babies without the internet?" I was dead serious with my question. The "What to Expect" books contained an overwhelming amount of information and made me question the most horrible things. I decided to only look things up that I was concerned about rather than knowing all of the terrible possible outcomes.

In the past 18 months it has really hit me hard with Jessyca's diagnosis with Celiac and Katelyn's Deafness. I would have extreme difficulty learning information about Gluten Free cooking, American Sign Language, or hearing aids without the internet. Reading books on each individual topic is possible, but would require an extreme amount of patience to feel competent to care for a child based on the newly acquired knowledge.

So here's to you Google... I LOVE being able to "Google" it. This technology is certainly worth being thankful for.
