That is where the problem lies......as much as I wish my girlfriends and I had sat around and decided "Let's all try to get pregnant, so we could go thru motherhood together" that didn't happen. Justin and I were not even trying to get pregnant, who knew I would be so fertile. So here I am, the one of the first among my friends to have a child, looking for someone to go on a hike with or out to lunch. Someone to have an adult conversation with on occasion. When you have a baby your life inevitably changes, my day revolves around nap and food schedules. Justin and I try to take Costner everywhere we go but late night dinners with friends (unless it's at our house) are fleeting.
I knew that some of my friendships would change when Costner was born and I thought many of them would drift apart. I was right some did but surprisingly the majority of my friendships with my girlfriends (specifically my fellow book clubbers) have grown stronger. They may not have children of their own (yet!) but they are so supportive, caring and understanding and most of all...they love Costner! They want to be around him and here about what new shenanigans he is up to. And I love all of my friends for that.
I am a lucky woman....I have a wonderful husband, adorable baby, fantastic home and great friends!
