My best friend is pregnant with her first baby. Sometimes I think about Benjamin Button- life traveling backwards. I want to hold my first baby again for the first time, minus the temporary insanity for 2 weeks after giving birth. She seems so far away from that baby these days. I can barely recall what it felt like. I used to always tell Jim when she'd reach a milestone "I feel like we are losing her." He would respond "No, we are gaining her." And now I think it's both. At least I can handle her growing up without bursting into tears these days. She won't grow up convinced her mother has an untreated emotional disorder. Actually..... I take that back. :)
My monkeys!
