I just wanted to share how great my friends are. Two of my girl friends are coming over tonight and we're making a fancy steak dinner with sides and 'wine'. They haven't seen me in a few weeks because of our crazy schedules and we need a girls night together. They asked what I'm craving and it is definitely steak! So we're having that with some asparagus, mashed sweet potatoes and rolls with non alc wine. Maybe even some candles, how swanky! I'm just glad that I have a few friends that want to do things that I can keep up with at this point. I get so tired so easily and obviously don't want to go out to bars. I have a few friends that don't change to accomodate me but then I have other friends who do things like this for me. I like knowing that its the thoughtful friends who will stick around in my life after LO gets here. I don't have many friends with kids so it might be hard for them to relate. Some of my other friends have been staying in and having movie nights with me or helping me make decorations for my baby shower (I offered to make them for my sisters after I picked a theme).
Anyone else have amazing friends they want to shine a spotlight on? Here's your chance!
Re: My amazing friends :)
I'll talk about my amazing SIL who is quickly becoming my best friend!
First of all, I have 2 sisters of my own, but they're a couple years younger than be and in different places in their lives. My SIL is my age, married, and trying to have babies of her own! SIL & BIL are going to be the baby's Godparents and I couldn't be happier! SIL is throwing one of my baby showers and she is so excited and updates me all of the time! I'm still uncertain if my side of the family is going to throw me a shower at all...
She also knows that I don't have a lot of close friends that live in the area and always includes me when she hangs out with her friends! We just went up north to her friend's parents' lake house for the weekend and had a blast! Just all the little things really make you appreciate those who are close to you!
This makes me sad Sadie! Have you tried looking into some local groups in your area where you can meet other moms or moms to be? What about a prenatal yoga class, you might be able to me some women in similar places in life as you.
Hope you aren't lonely for long!
