Ahoy, and apologies!  An egregious gap has yawned between the last update and this one, explained only by the same old same old: too many kidcare duties, not enough time to spread around.  Which lament many of you either know first-hand, or are working hard so’s to know before too long.

A bunch of new listings have been queueing up since mid-June. In a LesFam first, three TTC blogs dropped off the radar in the month it took me to get around to posting them here.  Two others, alas, asked to be listed and didn’t include their URLs; I hope to be able to list them soon, once I track them down.

Per recent trends here at LesFam, nealy half the new listings this month are TTC (or Trying To Conceive) blogs.  They’re joined by a good smattering of blogs from parents of older kids. 

Among the TTC folk, we have:

  • Patiently Awaiting Hope: Gia is “Taking this journey on faith and where every step brings ‘Hope’”
  • Twin Cycles: the account of Kia’s TTC journey alongside her sweetie Gia — yes, that Gia, of Patiently Awaiting Hope
  • two older hippos wanting a baby hippo: a 38 year old trying to conceive her first child with the love of her life
  • Wishinghopingpraying: “just your average nice, Jewish lesbians TTC baby #1.  ‘Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see’ Hebrews 1:1″

At 2 moms and a pregnancy, MT is chronicling her pregnancy with her partner of six years.  

The author of Luca Has 2 Mommies is both pregnant with twins and raising a toddler.  (Yow!)  

Emerging Butterfly is chronicling “One Woman’s Journey From Insecure Heterosexual Houswife to Confident Lesbian Mother.”

In Sweetest of Things, mtnhighmama, a single quee mama, foster mom, and surrogate mom, writes as about the good life in the Pacific Northwest.

At Come What May, Tyffany writes of her life in Colorado, her 13 year-old interracial relationship, and her 10 year-old twins.

And finally, Kat, at a mom’s struggle with identity, writes of her coming out process, after five kids: “this blog is about me, my identity, my visibility, my concerns and questions and random thoughts that make no sense. I hope it grows into a blog that explores a new love, a new relationship and the ups and downs that brings along with it.”
Welcome, all you gals!  LesFam readers, go visit them and tell ‘em we (finally!) sent you!  The blogs will show up in their various lists over the next couple of days.
