My very best friend in the whole wide universe is about to give birth to her first child. I feel that even though I had no part whatsoever in the making of this baby, she’s still part mine. Even if her daddy doesn’t agree. And yes, all signs, doctors, etc. say “girl”, a much nicer alternative to, “I’m not finding any nuts on this squirrel”, which had me scratching my head until my 2nd child was born because I was certain there were no squirrels in my family tree. Nuts, yes; squirrels, no. But I digress. So, as I said, my BFF is having a baby and I think I’m just as excited as, if not a bit more than, she is. And here’s why:
1. It’s not me this time!
2. I get to spoil this sweet little baby like no other baby has ever been spoiled before.
3. Even though she has her doubts, my BFF is going to be a superb boss mom.
4. If her husband and I would let her, she’d name the baby after me.
5. It’s been fun watching, or rather hearing, BFF’s excitement grow with each passing phase of her pregnancy.
6. Did I mention it’s not me this time?
7. Spot’s (yes, they nicknamed the baby “Spot”) birth gives me the perfect excuse to spend 10 days in Florida.
8. I think every woman should experience carrying a child at least once in their life.
9. I get to shop for baby stuff.
10. I love my bestie to the moon and back and wish nothing but wonderfully sweet blessings to her and her little family.
11. And I’m REALLY glad it’s not me this time!
