This past week I decided completely last minute to take a trip to
surprise my friend who just had a baby
[see below picture]
So cute, right?
One minute I was here (Thursday) the next I was gone (Friday).
Nate was kind enough (or rather, smart enough) to not question my impulsive irrational behavior and just let me go.
So I jumped on a plane and left my kids and responsibilities behind me
and headed to surprise my friend.
It was priceless, absolutely priceless, to see her reaction when she saw me.
There was lots of screaming, and jumping, and hugging, and crying.
(I'm just going to pretend that her reaction had nothing to do
with the massive amounts of hormones streaming through her new mom body)
My weekend involved lots of baby holding, good friends, yummy food, and a whole lotta catching up.
When it was finally time to come home I was refreshed and ready to be a mom again
and the topper was being greeted by this...
Feels good to be so loved.
P.S. Don't let me forget to tell you about the crazy lady in the airport. I'm not normally one to pass judgement on crazy since I roll with the best of them, but really, she was. It went from her telling me about her daughters wedding to me possibly going to hell for believing in organized religion. Well, that and the fact that I'm not nursing my baby any more. Apparently, all babies should be nursed for as long as possible... cause she did... until they were 48 months... all 8 of her kids. I know.
Either way you say it, 4 years 0r 48 months, it leaves me filling a little bit disturbed.

Lucky friend to get such a great surprise! Glad you got to run away for a bit.
Love those crazy airport people. Yowza!
It works both ways....one minute you were here(Sunday) and the next your were gone (Monday). I am so grateful for awesome friends like you. Like I said, you made my day (possibly my whole month...maybe even longer). I never should have let you go. Start singing....It's so hard to say goodbye- but it's 4:30, time for milking. I love ya!!!!
I did the whole "12, 24, 36, 48- that's 4 years!" in my head. Wow, was she wearing a great bra or were the girls touching her knees?
So glad you had a fun impulsive trip!
Oh jealous!!! She is beautiful! I bet it was fun with Em and all the girls. I sort of hate you right now...in the nicest way possible of course.
I too hate you in a nice way...well sort of. That's my cutest niece. Yup, you've showed up Em's FOUR sisters by seeing her in person first. Glad you got to see her & my phone bill thanks u too! Next time send out some sisterly vibes to the south & I'll hop a plane with u!
She is a beautiful baby, and the picture is beautiful as well! I would have loved to have watched you having that conversation. Complete entertainment, right there!
