So Tuesday was our birthson T’s 7th birthday. Since I hadn’t gotten his birthday present ready and in the mail yet I sent him an ecard so that he knew we were thinking of him. I couldn’t call him as I was at work all day (and he was at school all day) and had the evening all booked up. So I sent the ecard, which will send an email notification to the sender when the person you’ve sent it to reads the card. No one’s picked up the card yet. 
So, yes, I need to get off my lazy, procrastinating, worrying butt and call, but really it’s just not that simple for me. I have this immense anxiety when I think of calling them. I really don’t think I have any reason to worry. We have a wonderful relationship and they have made us feel so welcome in their lives. I guess though, it’s just the awkwardness (since I’ve probably made about 10 phone calls to them over 7 years) that I fear.
Any other birthmoms have anxiety when it comes to calling their child’s family? I feel like I’m the Lone Ranger on this one though. I look around and see other birthmoms who can talk so freely with their child’s parents and I want that. I think I’ve just got to bite the bullet and start calling. Actually that’s one of the things I want to change this year. I am bad at calling lots of people in my life. Frankly, I suck….
So any tips on how to make this not so scary would be great.
