If you only had friends like mine . . .

You would know that your son would be wonderfully taken care of while you had a little girl to add to his life. He would have so much fun with mommy's friends (and really, they are his friends. He just uses his mom for transportation to his friends' house) that he would not miss his mom AT ALL. He would happily leave the hospital knowing that he was off to see a puppy or his Rochester "cousins."



You would have a friend who would be willing to have her baby a few days early so she could be your neighbor in the hospital. Made this morning less lonely as we both waited for discharge home.



You would be able to have your husband sleep over at the hospital for the first night of your daughter's life knowing that your son was tucked into his own bed and would wake to have his friend Nora and her mommy there to play with and to teach him how to eat big boy cereal. (You know cereal with milk in it. Something his mom, and his Uncle Mikey, would never teach him.)



You would know that you are loved and cared for beyond belief. As Ryan and I repeatedly said to each other over the past few days, "We have the best family in Rochester." Thanks to all of my wonderful friends who continue to shower me with their love.

Wow!!...I do hope to have friends like yours coming through the woodwork to help when my times come. You're very blessed! And Addy's so cute! I can't believe you got so many pictures where it looks like she's smiling...or at least grinning. That's adorable!
