I read the Waldman piece when it came out; I'm fascinated to hear about her Oprah appearance.
I think you're right about balance. And I think the balance will come. It makes sense that you're immersed in mommydom right now -- you've just made one of life's major shifts, and it's one that's particularly overwhelming. That's cool. If you're still blogging all-EB, all-the-time in a few years, we'll start to worry. *g* Otherwise -- I think it's really cool to get this little window into what your life is like, and I like hearing about mommydom and the EB and all that jazz. And someday you'll have the time and energy to do other stuff again, and that's cool too.
I guess what I'm saying is, seems to me the balance accrues over time. You may be more buried in babystuff now than you'd prefer to be, and may feel imbalanced, but you'll be more buried in something else some other time (new job, e.g.)
Basically I want to applaud your last paragraph with wild cheering and pompoms, even though I don't know the trick to doing it all at once, either. :-)
