How on earth did we go from frizzy hair, Micky Mouse over sized sweat shirts, walkmans & Teen mags to flat irons hair, trendy clothes, weddings (hers) and BABIES (also hers)!!! Clearly I have only accomplished 2 of the last 4 items but still we have both come a long way....
I remember the day I found out she was pregnant. The "crew" had finally managed to get together after weeks & months of busy schedules for dinner. After we ate she casually blurted out "SO I'm pregnant"........... whoa WHAT?
While the other girls immediately went into high pitched "oh my gods" and "how far alongs" I needed a minute to digest that my best friend of almost 20 years had life inside of her.Once I realized what was going on I repeated (in a non high pitched voice because Im SO not one of those girls) the "oh my god" and "how far along" questions.
Over the last 6 months I've watched her belly grow, had conversations about our mutual fear of childbirth and had to tell myself NO when it came to buying any and everything cute for the baby.
Its now down to the last stages of pregnancy and it finally hit me last night when, I being the uber anal planner asked her if she had her baby and hospital bags ready to go.
I cant begin to tell you how much I already feel love for this baby girl, how much I cant wait to be her favorite aunt and how happy I am that my bff is going to be a mommy!
*tear*
Stop it! I've been a very emotionally even keeled pregnant woman and now you're making me teary eyed *sniff*.
ReplyDeleteIt's so true that time and flown by and you are the one person, aside from the other parent, that has been there every step of the way.
This baby is so lucky to have an aunt like you!!! I always loved my aunt so much, and I know she'll be crazy about you the same way :)
We are almost at the finish line...but at the start all at once, funny is it not?! All I have to say is, since we both share a mutual love of planning...lets coordinate our pregnancies, hey you said it first!!!! xoxoxo
