Especially since most of medwives will have to move around a lot, so our friends "in the flesh" will come and go - but our blog friends will most likely stay the same!

Others ..."Some bloggers are like best friends. Others are like that one girl in the group who is a little awkward... etc. etc." <br /><br />I completely and totally understand what you are saying in these few sentences. I can, at this moment, pick out those who I think I would truly like in person, those who would be the "cool" girl, that one who might be a little awkward, so on and so forth. <br /><br />The fact that I am not alone in feeling like this in the blog-o-sphere is altogether comforting and alarming, because suddenly it leaves me thinking, "Wait. Which one am I? Am I the awkward one? The one people wouldn't actually like but pretend to just to be nice?" And for a brief moment I feel like I'm in middle school all over again. <br /><br />At the end of the day though? I am quite pleased with what I have found through being a medical student wife blogger (because there seems to be a realm of us, right?). I don't have ANY. ANY. medical student spouse friends in real life. Not because I'm socially awkward (hopefully), but because my husband's medical school is in Washington D.C., and we live in... well, Texas. Can't meet spouses when you live in a different state. So like you, I'm thankful to live in this time as well- when I can at the very least feel a sense of belonging and support from a group of women who are at the same time just like me (for living the medwife lifestyle), and nothing like me (for a million other reasons). <br /><br />LOVED this post. And so sorry for my mini-post in the comments. This may be that very thing that makes me that one "awkward" medwife blogger.

Since I recently discovered other medical wives out there I'm twice as grateful for blogging friends. There is something to be said for knowing people who are in the same circumstances as you, whether on a blog or IRL. :-)Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138050246830502228noreply@blogger.com
