I sometimes have to work hard to not resent the hell out of people with extended families. I've worked long and hard to develop a network of friends, but we still spend most of the holidays with just the two of us hanging out. Yep. Holidays have been hard, with my family acting as it does and Caza's consisting of only his parents (that live here.)

It does not, however, lessen the joy of having a kid. YAY! *hugs you*
