Clarification

I have heard from a few people recently that my blog post last month seemed like it was targeted at them in a passive aggressive sort of way.

I just want to make it perfectly clear that this post was not, in any way, meant to be pointing a finger or making accusations towards people for something they did or did not do. It really, truly was a post for me, to help me remember how to be supportive to new parents for when our friends and siblings have their own kids. I know that Ryan and I sort of paved the way when it comes to starting a family. With that, comes the fact that no one else has been through it and that means they cannot possibly know what you are going through, what is hard and what might be helpful. I realized early on that I cannot expect for people to know or understand what I was going through, being anew mom. I am really appreciative of all of the kind things people have done for us and how much our friends and family love our daughter and have made an effort to get to know her. A thousand apologies if the blog seemed to be accusing anyone in anyway. That was not my intention at all. Thank you to all of you for all the love and support.
