It's the end of the world as I knew it.
For those of you who haven't talked to me since yesterday, Mike became a proud papa at 9:32am to a baby girl. I'm not going into great detail considering it's not really my news to share but I will say that I'm confident that he'll be a great dad and I really couldn't be happier for him. The question that has seemed to follow for those who know has been how am I doing with all this going on. I'm not going to go into great detail about my thoughts as I'm sure a lot of you can understand how I would be feeling right now but I will just say that I'm doing ok. This definitely has taught me that I still have a lot of growing up to do and that I still have a lot more to learn. Another question that I've got a lot ("a lot" being from the whole 4 or 5 people that I actually associated with yesterday) was whether or not this means the end of an era for Mike and I. Well, I definitely don't plan on giving up. It will be a major adjustment and Mike couldn't have put it better by saying it will really test the strength of our relationship but I'm willing to make the sacrafices needed to keep us going. My family as well as his have been really supportive where I'm concerned which really does mean a lot to me. His mom even went as far as to call me to have dinner with her tonight. She, especially, has really gone out of her way to make sure that I don't feel awkward where they're concerned by reassuring me that as excited as they all are over the baby, that I'm the one they want to see Mike with. That actually has gone a long way in helping me control the extremes of my emotions lately.
Kate came and kidnapped me yesterday while Mom watched Landon to help occupy me which also went a long way in me not losing my mind. We ran to Seaside for a while then to the mall for a little retail therapy. I picked up a onesie for Autumn (the baby), a shirt for Landon, and bikini for myself. Not as much damage as I felt like causing but I had to keep the reality that I'm broke in there somehow lol. From there we met up with Joe then went onto Kennedy's where, after Joe left, I continued my dealing process with a shotglass lol. So like I said, I'm doing ok. Mike's still at the hospital and probably will be there for the remainder of the day so I'm off to go occupy myself. Just gotta keep reminding myself that it could be worse... I could have syphilis. That would really make for a bad day.
