Dinner and Baby Stuff! Posted: 02-09-08 20:59pm
Nick and I just went over to our friend's
Whitney and Eben's house for dinner (they
have a six month old son) and after we
were done eating, she brought out a big
Huggies box like you get at Sam's club and
it was stuffed with baby things!
She gave me at LEAST twenty outfits
(mostly newborn), a couple of hats, like
eight blankets, some cocoa butter lotion,
and breast pumping bags that she never
used. I was like .
I love having friends that are parents. We
just sat there for like three hours
talking about everything. They gave such
good advice. I had a good night.

Wow, that was so nice of them. It must be
nice to have some friends of yours that
you can relate to so well. I wish I were
that lucky...
So are you going to try and breast feed?
When I have kids I hope I'm able to, but
I've heard that it's A LOT harder to do
than people say it is.

I am going to try to breastfeed, but I
don't judge people who don't. It's a
personal choice for everyone and it's
different for everyone.
I am very glad we have friends that have
kids. None of yours do at all?

Well, my best friend had a baby when she
was 16, but I haven't seen her since the
day I got married, which was almost 2
years ago now, so I don't think I can
really count her One of my friends
from high school just had a baby with his
girlfriend, but I only get to read about
it on myspace. None of my friends that I
now see often are married or anything, so
I feel like it's really hard for my
husband and I to have friends that respect
the fact that we are married (you know...
don't talk about how hot so-and-so is all
the time, or want to go out and get drunk
every day of the week, etc). It's just
really nice to have people that are
experiencing the same things that you are
in your life. No one else really gets it
until they're in the same situation, you
know?

Most of our friends have boys. We get
some toys passed to us, but not many
clothes.
