Thrilling

I'm so excited for one of my oldest and closest friends! Recently she called me up to tell me some stellar news.

She's having a baby!

Now I know some would say that this is a normal everyday occurrence in life. And you'd be right. But for her, this has been a challenge.

She was diagnosed with endometriosis at a very young age. She was put on birth control before she was even all that interested in sex. She's had two surgeries. She'd also seen a fertility specialist. There had been a few false alarms and scares, but it was starting to look like having a baby just wasn't in the cards for her.

She'd all but reconciled herself to being the best auntie ever to her niece and nephew.

So imagine my shock a week or so ago when she called me at 8am to tell me the good news! In a time when miracles are so scarce, she was blessed with one!

I'm so excited for her! She's gonna make an amazing mother. It's enough to make me consider setting my biological clock...almost. Nah! I think I'll just hold out for a puppy for now. Love kids as I do, I just wouldn't have the time that should be dedicated for a child. I can be a proud Auntie, though!
