A good friend has been pregnant these past 40 weeks with her first child. This morning, she went to the hospital to be induced.
I am very excited for her. And anxious. And completely dumbfounded that she’s about to be a MOM.
I know people who have kids. I’ve even known another very good friend when she had her first kid. And i felt the same anxiousness and dumbfoundedness on her behalf as i do now. And she’s a super mom, and so good at it. And her son is the cutest thing in the world. (Watch out girl, when he gets older i might have to make a man outta him.)
So i know i will acclimate, and it soon will be totally normal that New Mom has a small soul that is totally dependent on her. And it won’t be weird. But it’s so unbelievably strange to me that today she’ll be a parent, when yesterday she wasn’t.
I wish you all the best!
