Baby Matters

Okay, so I know sometimes I can be insensitive. I'm going to try not to be.

But baby time is upon us.

I have a best friend who now has a baby boy. He's a cute little guy, but he is SUCKING MY BEST FRIEND DRY. No, I'm not talking breast milk. I'm talking energy. And he's a really laid back kid, but he can't do anything himself, of course. She has this unbelievable feeling of inadequacy, especially because she can't breastfeed. She was really stressed out after the delivery, and she feels really guilty about that. I might offer to watch the kid while they go see a movie the weekend after next.

Oh, yes, and former McCoy BRANDI is preggers, due Jan 1. I love both of my sisters dearly, but I can only take so much of this one while she's pregnant. She gets distracted as easily as a puppy. I stopped by yesterday because I was heading home from Heather's and got mixed up in some crazy traffic. Wow. I've never tried harder to answer someone's questions in my LIFE. She'd ask me a question, then while I'd be answering her, she'd interrupt me, and then walk away. I hope this goes away after she's had the baby. It'd be really bad if she were bathing the poor girl and then decided she had to clean the bathroom. Oooops!

Anyway, I really hope I like this kid because I would HATE to be the aunt who didn't like Lyddie until she's 5. or 15.
