Doing well... all of the above

So I have decided I will not go on with a daily list on how well Violet's doing. The purpose of this blog is not to be a daily journal but a slightly more in depth look into how I've been feeling and how this pregnancy/birth/etc and my past experience change how I handle with the world. What does that mean exactly? Well it means I have strayed from my purpose... not greatly but enough that I haven't been writing due to the fact that I either want to use this as a list of all the good stuff or I want to use this as a rant for all my frustration. This is neither.

I could easily rant about much that is going on in my head... there's a lot and when you are alone at home most of the time with a baby you can't help but rant. What's the main rant you may say? Well, I think it's that I am home alone. There are many in my life that have failed to show up. Some are coming this week (as in my parents) but I have had a lot of people state that they would bombard me with visits and instead I have hardly heard a word. I know this is normal and that everyone's life at this point is a little nuts but still.

My only other rant is the concept of the meet and greet/shower. What's the rant there? Well the pure confusion as to whether there will actually be such a thing. Again life has been crazy but I have received mixed messages as to whether something like this is being done and am starting to think such a thing will not be done. Now I don't totally care one way or another, my only concern is that Polar Bear and I have held off buying or getting people to buy stuff because we are unsure if other people want to get us stuff. It is very frustrating when you know you are going to need stuff and you are unable to plan on whether you need to find the funds or if someone is planning on getting you something and they will be angry if you purchase it on your own.

What these rants mean is that really, all in all, life is good. Polar Bear goes back to work in a month, and he may even be starting a new job all together that is year round, we are just waiting to hear back from the company. Vi is doing great, gaining weight. She's happy and healthy and safe and strong. I have managed to go out for a bit with a friend, and do enjoy staying home with Vi even though it can get a little dull and I am extremely sleep deprived. All my issues are superficial. They are all thing that will solve themselves in due time and if I would be patient they are really not issues at all.

So I hope all your current concerns and issues are as minor as mine are. That they are all mere inconveniences and will be solved with time.
