Hi Bear,
How are you doing?
Sea

Sea, I'm doing great. Thank you for asking. My feelings of anxiety have passed and now I truly know I made the right decision. I was there when my husband broke the news to his mother (my mother-in-law) and then he passed the phone to me after a few minutes. She was very disappointed and focused on the fact that everyone wanted to see us so bad and that they missed us, etc. I kept saying sorry and that no one is more disappointed than myself. She didn't mention my husband taking the baby with him but she let me know that she was so disappointed. Yes, I felt guilty. But after my husband and I restated the costs (amongst ourselves) of taking the trip, we knew that now was not the right time to go.
You know, it's not so bad afterall. I worried over nothing, really. I was so caught up in pleasing everyone else and so worried that we were being "compared" to everyone else and that we would not measure up, that I lost focus on what really matters at this moment in our lives. Thank you to all for your never ending support and words for me to listen to. Not only did I get support but I gained perspective here. Yay!!
