Ever since I gave birth on May 23rd, one month early, I have been keeping pretty much to myself. I think I needed to cut myself off from the rest of the world in order to deal with everything. We had to stay at the hospital, I had to finish up with my grades for work, we had to get used to 3 hour sleep/eat cycles, I organized and supervised the Cambridge tests at school, and so on and so on.
So much was happening and every time we got used to a schedule, it would change. The only people I talked to during the first month were my parents, that was all I could handle. I hope I haven’t offended anyone, it wasn’t personal or meant to exclude anyone. I’ve noticed that’s how I’ve been dealing with difficult situations lately. I guess I’ve always done it to some extent. Even when I heard that my good friend Glenna committed suicide earlier this year, I didn’t talk about it to anyone other than my mother. It’s was just too hard to discuss it with anyone else - still is. I haven’t even responded to Monique’s message informing me about it. Sorry about that. I think you understand though.
Everything going well now. Adrienne is becoming more aware of her surroundings every day and is such a personality and really too cute for words. Stay tuned for more updates on her page about her development. On this blog, I will be updating about my parents’ trip to Sweden. I can’t believe that my father’s departure is only 2 days away. Time does fly. It’s been a blast so far, I will be sad when it’s over.
