Ohhhh my friend,
I'm feeling for ya...believe me!! Just read my lips...epidurallll!! :)))
Never say never my friend.
I will be thinking of you and can't wait to hear how everything goes.
It's an experience you can't quite understand until you go through it
and hold that little baby in your arms. You like I did for many years
stood by, in misery listening to your friends going through pg and
delivery, then watching the baby grow up. Now you will understand all
the emotions and feelings you have stood by watching and finally be able
to say to yourself, ohhh, now I know what they meant and it's not so
silly and corney after all...It's something you can't see or feel until
you go through it.
I will be thinking of you my pcos sister, take care and get a lot of
rest while you can. You will need to be rested for when you bring the
baby home. Remember, when she sleeps you sleep!!
byee my friend,
