Yes, that's pretty much why I'm exercising such restraint - I saw a lot of the people I knew at school and university turn into 24-hour baby update bots who thought it was just fine to talk at length about the volume and consistency of their child's latest bowel movement. The material is definitely there to become one of those people because we currently have 4,680 photos of her on our family sharing account (that's not an exaggeration, I just checked) and have completely filled up one iCloud album and have had to start a second - but they don't get posted publically because to everyone else, she's a baby. She looks like a baby. That's about where the interest ends. And also, I don't want her embarrassing baby photos all over the Internet - it's bad enough knowing mine are in a bound physical album in my parents' attic somewhere.
Once you have a baby, though, there's an overwhelming sense of... it's a combined feeling of pride and of relief at surviving X days that you want to show off to everyone. (We're on day 148.)
