BITTER SWEET
Today I got a call from my good friend Rae, who had her baby on Saturday morning...her weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long! His name is Nico. What makes this bitter sweet is, Rae and I worked together years ago and became fast friends, I have been friends with her thru the brith of her first child, then her divorce and now her new marriage and the birth of her son, Nico. I remember talking to her when she told me she was pregnant. We were so excited thinking that we would both have or babies around the same time. Wishing what I know now, I would not have gotten my hopes up...so here we are 9 months later and Little Nico has entered the world...Beautiful I am sure...I haven't seen him yet...I will soon, I think when I am ready, I will go see him. Is that selfish of me not to go? Am I not being a good friend? Am i protecting my feelings...but should I take the RISK and see what happens? Maybe I will be fine, sure I will cry...I always cry...that is what I am known for...holding new babies for the first time...Colette will cry! So I am here to WELCOME NICO!

Thanks again for the visit to my blog. I am thoroughly enjoying reading your blog as well. And I will dare to make a few comments to your post here. First, you are certainly not selfish for not wanting to go right away and see the new baby. Your post title is so appropriate, it really is bitter sweet. And you have every right to protect yourself in this situation. Your friend likely knows that this is hard for you, and if you are not sure that she does know, just tell her that it is and it has absoutely nothing to do with her personally or your friendship. Assure her that you are working on it, and look forward to seeing her and the baby when you are ready to handle it. She will appreciate your honesty. Great post!
Colette, I agree with Nicole 100%! and understand 100% Remember my post about the baby shower? UGH!!! You are a great friend and I'm sure she knows that! AND don't give up hope that your child could come any day!! :) julie
