First off so much gratitude for all your supportive loving comments regarding Baby Spear on the way! Overwhelmed in a good way, so thank you! Secondly, please read all of this as I felt it important to post, for those of you who know me know Im not one to sweep things under the rug: Ive received 40-50 some texts these past few days, all supportive and congratulatory (so thank you) and about a dozen of those were from very close friends who were very loving yet were offended to find out on social media. So what Im about to say next isnt meant to bash them but to point out that Im guessing there are more who may be offended or hurt to find out this news via SMS and even so Id like to share some words of wisdom with you all. The most important life lesson Ive learned is that its not always about me(you). Whether we get happy news or sad news we all handle it and deliver it in whatever way we choose to that is best for us. Our post announcing my pregnancy was not meant to hurt or offend anyone. It was posted to surprise and share in a joyous life event. These past 2 months have been spent taking care of me so we could get safely to the 2nd Trimester ESP since I was tired and sick many of those weeks and thats when miscarriages typically happen. These past 2 months have been emotional for both of us and quite frankly I dont think that too many of you can relate to becoming a parent without any living parents in the picture. Furthermore, whether we receive happy or sad news sometimes the best place in the world to be is ALONE. No outside noise, no one giving their two cents or unsolicited opinion, no one asking 20 questions. I know many of you have had times in your life where you isolated yourself for whatever reasons. I am grateful to have SO many good friends that Ive maintained from my diaper years til now. Even though I have a boat load of very near and dear friends just because I dont share every intimate detail of my life with you doesnt mean I dont love you. So my point in this post, remember its not always about you. It took me til my 30s to figure this out. ALWAYS take a step back to reflect and put yourself in the other persons shoes first before reacting. Know that not everyone will do say and handle situations the way you would. More often then not people need an ear and just to know you support them, nothing more. P. S. I have several people to call back that left me kind voice messages, so when Im ready to call you I will. In the meantime, I ask for your patience.
