There is something so special about sharing in the ups and downs of pregnancy/childbirth/parenting with your closest friends. 
There is something even more wonderful about friends who have gone 
before you and share their knowledge, including their insecurities and 
fears, as they go along. So, just about that time where you're really 
wondering if you should be committed to the loony bin, that friend comes
 along side of you and laughs and says "oh yeah, me too." There is such 
comfort there - in the knowing that you aren't crazy...or perhaps aren't
 alone in the act of being crazy...
And the most fun of it all, is when one of those friends come out to visit and 
all they do is just love on your kiddo. Without comparison to their own,
 with no judgement, no qualifying statements...they just come along side
 of you and love your kid unconditionally, because that's the way they 
love you. I'm so lucky because one such wonderful friend came out for a 
visit and did just that!
Thank you, May - thanks for the visit, the mornings over coffee, the 
time out, the stuffed bear (Go, Ducks!), for loving so much on my 
boy...But most of all - thank you for all your support of the mother I 
am becoming.
