In Desperate need of an AW !!!

So on Friday, at 37.1 weeks, my very very bestest of friends had a 5lb, 12oz baby girl and my heart is ACHING with so much love.

First baby, and everything went perfectly (considering), I can't believe it. Her water broke at 8:30am, she left work, labored at home until 4pm when she really felt like the baby could be near (despite what the midwives thought), got to the birthing center at 4:15pm, the midwives assured her "everything is going to be ok, you're doing great" but then checked her, felt the head and yelled "admitting! fully dilated here" and rushed her to the room. She delivered at 4:38pm. The midwives apologized later saying they were sorry, they need to realized everyone sounds different at different stages in labor (they thought she sounded like she had her shit together so she must not be far long). She had her in the bathroom, standing up! Baby and mom are doing well (after some monitoring), she's just the littlest peanut you ever did see. I was born 5lbs 9oz so it was interesting to see her size in relation to mine!

But I just cannot believe how in love I am with this little girl. My friend and I are super close, and when I saw her yesterday for the first time (they had to go into the hospital for some extra monitoring), we BAWLED our eyes out. Like, I woke up this morning and I started crying a little because I just miss them and my heart was hurting because I wasn't with them at that moment.

WTF? I am going to be a hot mess when this little baby boy makes his appearance.

Here is a little pic of her sweet baby girl.
