It's Okay To Vent...Right?

It's been one of those days weeks. I know, it's only Tuesday (right?), but really, I guess I just need this.

I love my little family. It's amazing how much I love them, but right now, I feel so unaccomplished. Remember I just went from working a full time job and going to school at night every day of the week and clinics on the weekends for almost 9 months. I don't know how to just not do anything, or barely anything.
Yes, I did give birth 20 days ago, and yes, I know I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself. No, I don't need anyone telling me that I need to slow down and remember that I just gave birth. Sorry, I just know what I can and cannot do, and I cannot just sit here and twiddle my thumbs day in and day out.

Okay, that's a lie. I could sit here and twiddle my thumbs day in and day out. I don't have a problem doing so.

I just need to feel like my "friends" actually gave two cents about me!* I made some great friends over the past year, but you want to know something, I have a handful, yes a handful, of friends who have actually a) come to visit me or b) check up on me at least once a week. So, my so called friends who miss me and love me so dearly, where are you? Why is it that it gets put on my shoulders to check up on you when I'm the one who just had a baby? Just because I'm a mom doesn't mean our relationship has changed. I'm seriously considering who my real friends are. I've come to find out that I don't have very many who actually care.

*Now, there are quite a few friends of mine that do check up on me. I'm not talking about you in the previous paragraph. I truly appreciate your friendship and you checking up on us! It brings a smile to my face to know that, man, someone actually cares enough to take 2 minutes out of their day to send me a text or message me on FB. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without the few of you who actually do that. So, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. <3

It's okay to vent.

It's okay to call.

It's okay to visit.

It's okay to take me out of the house while I have someone who is more than willing to watch Brielle for me.

It's not like I, Ambria, have disappeared...

Or have I? o.0

She's a week old. 

Today is my official due date, and my sweet pea is a week old. 

2/23/2013

10:56am

7lbs 10.3oz

18 inches long

Head of hair

Dazzling eyes

Brielle Avery RhuEmma Beal

<3

She has stolen my heart. 
Life is complete with her in my arms. 

8.5 hours of labor meant nothing the moment she was laid on my chest for the first time. 

The first glimpse of her and my life was forever changed. 

The exhaustion I felt for 9 months vanished the moment I first heard her cry. 

Tears of joy instead of pain are shed every day. 

<3

She's my:

Little Treasure. 

Princess. 

Sweet Pea. 

Beautiful. 

Everything. 

<3

Most importantly, Brielle is my daughter.

The daughter I've dreamed of the moment I found out I was pregnant.

The daughter who I giggled with when she would kick my belly and hiccup all night long. 

The daughter I will love for eternity. 

<3 

Best days of my life: 

8/12/2011
&
2/23/2013

<3

And Everyone Adores Her











And to think, she's a week old today.
Sigh. Where does the time go?
