5/5/10 Katie's Healthy Eating Journal: Wednesday

Well, the insanity certainly hits when some major event happens in a person's life!  I know a wedding can usually never be pulled off without at least one person getting their feelings hurt and I feel the same way about babies.  There's always someone that my husband and I just didn't think to tell we are pregnant or someone that gets offended by something pertaining to the baby shower.  Ridiculous if you ask me!  Why put the person who is already under a lot of stress piled up with more stress?  In fact, I think in many of these situations the person who has their feelings hurt is just being downright selfish.  I generally would like to think I try to be a good person and obviously I would never want to hurt someone intentionally.  However, I don't have enough brain power to realize I haven't told every single person on this earth that I know that I'm pregnant!  Showers get funny because certain people had their hopes of throwing it, or getting their name included on the invitation, or sometimes it feels that the person having the baby doesn't even have a say in what SHE would like for her own shower!  Ahhh but I have already to my husband I am no longer putting these things on my list of worries of making people feel bad.  I try to make others happy but you can only do so much.  My Mom STILL three years LATER brings up how I didn't have one of my cousins in my wedding that I was close to when I was little.  At the time, I guess I thought she lived on the other side of the United States and wouldn't be able to afford it...but since I made that decision I've felt horrible.  Family is forever.  Just because we aren't as close now that we're adults does not mean that she hasn't been a part of my life since I can remember.  I hate that I may have hurt her feelings and I wish I could take it back...but I can't and my Mom making me feel little and small every time she brings it up certainly doesn't help!  I am certain some kind of situation like this or another will happen at some point in my pregnancy.  I try but I definitely can't please everyone!
