I have found it easier the last few months to just focus on my own 'Little World'. It has been a challenge to look on the bright side. I am lucky to have friends and family who listen and put up with me. Today I had the pleasure of meeting this little man for the first time. The perfect 'Pick me up'. He is just two days old and is my friend Sarah's first child. Sarah and I have been friends now for over 16 yrs. We met each other at work, when we both worked with adults with Learning Disabilities and Challenging Behaviour and we have been buddies ever since. Sarah is a great friend to my boys too and I know she will be an absolutely fantastic Mom. I have called Sarah in 'emergencies' and she has always been there for me. This little boy has been long awaited. Haydn. I think he is adorable. My friend Sue came with me to the hospital, sue and I have been friends for 30+ years. Sue, Sarah and I have got together the last couple of Friday nights and put the world to rights and laughed a lot. We tried not to make Sarah laugh too much though as neither Sue nor I have natural midwifery skills. We have watched the bump grow and sympathised with the swollen ankles and the almost constant need for antacid. It has been an exciting build up waiting for this little fella. Isn't life amazing? Change...endings...new beginnings and we never know what is around the corner. Seeing this precious little boy has made me so happy and a tad bit weepy! Ah come on this is me we are talking about! I wish this little fella a happy, healthy life and I look forward to all the snuggles in the future.

They say old wine and old friends are the best :-)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a brand new little baby to watch as he grows up.
Glad you are coping and being supported by friends and family x
Babies always put life in perspective I think, as do good friends and family. Wine helps too of course! Hope you're keeping warm and not too damp and looking forward to the Easter break. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little boy. Glad your family and friends are supporting you,
