baby on the way
the mamas are having their baby. today it seems. i didnt think i was going to the birth. but then i got the call. actually i missed the call that came in the middle of the night so i got “the message.” the baby is coming. s’s water broke and splashed all over the floor. i dont know. its not what i expected but when i talked to C. this morning after i hung up i thought, “no fucking way am i missing this.” all thoughts of becoming too attached seemed trivial in comparison with, “my friends are having a baby TODAY and i am invited and where the hell are my car keys!”
it certainly helps that RM has the next two days off work and can cover everything involving the kids. that is a MIRACLE in itself. RM is all, “duh. of course you are going. she’s your friend and she’s having a baby.”
standing by here for the “get in the car call” and i’l be running around packing up a bag of stuff for the mamas. let’s see i’ll need cameras, chargers, cell phone, gifts, extra pads, breast pads, a few precious hand-me-down clothes…. how fun; my friends are having a baby but i also get to run around and pack a bag for the hospital. oh yeah and breastpump, freezer packs… i better get busy. cant wait to see them. and their daughter.
Oh, HOORAY!
I am glad to hear you are going to be there for them. Get that bag packed!!
Yeah! So glad that you decided to be there. Hope everything goes/went smoothly! How exciting!
