My best friend is expecting her first baby and I have so much I want to say to her
She's the best friend anyone could have. Fiercely loyal trustworthy funny adventurous strong .
She just got married two years ago. To a sweet Dutchman. I'm so proud of her. Her mum was trying to arrange a marriage for her and she gamely went with the whole slew of meeting guys . Am so so so happy she found her sweetheart.
Now she's expecting her baby. I'm super duper excited. It's going to be so different for her as it was for all of us. I want to tell her it's going to be so fun so exciting and so very unpredictable and complicated . Let her know it's not easy. As a mum my god you have to bear with a world of unsolicited advice! People making you feel you are less important than the baby you carry. It's a world of responsibility and also worry. Endless worry. A gushing of love like nothing before. The kids.. they become your world and you want to pull back from it too coz you know they will leave you one day that you have to let them go too.
Where you worry about the kinds of people you bring into the world. Where you get used to waking up every 2 hours for the first few months.
It's amazing and scary and draining and rewarding all at the same time
The pride you feel for them the hurt you feel for them the blinding griping scorching love you feel for them and sometimes the crazy anger you feel at them!
Please God protect her and bless her.
