Need to Vent

This year went by crazy fast. My baby is about to turn 1 this weekend. She is the happiest little baby, even though the first few months were extremely hard for my DH and me. About 4 days after she was born his parents got in a bad car accident leaving his mother in the hospital for about 6 months until she ended up passing away. So the baby bonding time that he had off from work went to that. For the first three weeks of my baby's life I was basically a single parent. Although, I understood the situation, did not make it any easier. Anyway, here we are a year later.

I'm due in about 9 weeks and cannot be more excited. As this has been a tough year already with the pandemic I am getting really nervous. This is my first child so I'm already nervous about giving birth as it is, but now add in the factor of the fear of getting covid. If I test positive my husband will not be able to be in the delivery room with me. We are doing our best to social distance and not go places we don't need to. However, it makes me a little worried when we have SD because BM does not care and they go wherever and hang out with tons of people.

Showing Affection

It's days and nights like tonight where step parenting is totally worth it. I got to be with my SD5 today, just her and me. We played, I read to her, she wanted to help me cook dinner and even help with the laundry. She tells me she loves me and likes when I read to her and play with her. To me that makes this sometimes difficult adventure worth it. But then the evening comes to an end and her mom picks her up. She doesn't even say bye to me, look at me or give hugs in front of her mom. I think I know why, but can't be 100% sure. Is it always going to be that way?
