To my Best Friend,
You're about to give birth to a tiny human being, any day now! (If he would stop being stubborn).
It's taken me 9 whole months, but I think it has now sunk in, that soon, you will have a little bundle of joy in your arms. And there's so much I want to tell you before that day comes.
As you enter this amazing (yet terrifying) part of your life, I know you're worried. I know you're scared. But what lies ahead of you is one big, amazing mystery. I'm sure you wonder on a daily basis what kind of mom you're going to be, and if you'll be a good one. What I know, is that YOU'VE.GOT.THIS.
I want to tell you that I will love your baby boy. I want you to know, that if I could be, I'd be the crazy best friend walking the halls of the hospital while you're in labor, pacing, and worried as hell. But excited. Drinking the gross hospital coffee. I'll be wanting to be the first person that you and your boyfriend introduced to your little human when he's born. But I wont, because that would just be weird. But I will be there the moment you request my presence....(maybe a little longer,because of the drive). And well, quite frankly, I draw the line at hospital coffee. A girl is allowed standards when it comes to her coffee.
I want you to know that no matter how you do it, I'll be proud of you. If you get an epidural, if you do it natural. if your baby boy sleeps good all the time or if he doesn't. If you never complain about being tired, or complain everyday. I'll be proud of you no matter how you do it, no matter how well you cope with being a new mom, no matter how many times you feel like you're failing. Because you won't fail. Not in anyway. Any day. And I'll be so damn proud of you.
I also want to tell you that I am your family, and you are mine. Even though I have a sister, remember thinking how cool it would've been if we were sisters?! I'd probably like you better than my own. I am in this for the long haul. My kids. Your kids. I want to tell you that we will always be us. Hilarious, Clueless, boy band loving dreamers with a secret (or not so secret) love (and slight obsession)for One Tree Hill. Old enough to know better but having too much fun to care. We can still just be you and me. We always will be. After all, they say a friendship that lasts more than 7 years, will last a lifetime.There may be more to us now, but we are still us.
So much about life is about to change for you. But the one thing that will remain the same is our friendship. It's only going to get better from here.
You're my best friend && Your having a baby!!!!
Love,
Me
