Dear Family, Friends, Neighbors, Church Small Group, Women’s Bible Study, etc.
As you may or may not know, I’m almost 30 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. And I have a 2 year old who I’m trying hard to run after, entertain, and otherwise keep out of mischief. And a husband who likes a clean house (I guess I failed in that category). And did I mention I’m off of work because of contractions?
My time is precious and limited. And so are our resources. This is just a season in my life. Please don’t take it personally if I can’t make it to your get-together, barbeque, play date, picnic, housewarming party, birthday party, wedding, etc. It’s not that I want to miss out on these important events (I really don’t and I’d much rather be out than cooped up inside). And if I RSVP’d and had to cancel, it wasn’t because something better came up. It’s because I had every intention of coming to your important function, but for some reason could not make it (most likely due to the fact that it’s getting harder and harder to move, let alone run after a toddler in situations like these).
Before we both know it, this season in my life will be over, and I’ll be up and about running after 2 little ones (instead of just one). And by then we’ll both have forgotten about this very short time in my life where my activity was limited (hopefully anyways). We’ll have play dates and park days and picnics and family gatherings. I’ll have you over and we’d love to do the same.
In the meantime, I’d love to speak to you on the phone or via email. Skype? Why not…I just have to learn how to use it! Text? Certainly. Letters? I’d be honored.
If I’ve disappointed you in any way, please know that was not my intention. It just so happens that this is the season of life I am in.
My apologies
Caryn

Oh, Caryn, I certainly hope people are not saying or doing things to make you feel that you needed to post this….
I cannot believe that someone, or someones (?) would be so unkind to make you feel bad in your situation. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I was in a similar situation with my second child – had pre-term labor and on bedrest (but my first husband was NO help) and had a toddler (almost 3) to contend with also. I know how you are feeling cooped up in the house, and it WILL get better.
If anyone gives you a hard time, just let me at them, I’ll got beat them up… OK? Nobody, but, nobody hurts my friends!! You got that, people!! 🙂
Take care of yourself… {{{hugs}}}
