I woke up this morning with a text message from a beloved friend of mine saying that her baby (yes, we are talking about a princess, not a prince...) had been born the night before.
After reading her message, I was jumping for joy and I tried to imagine her happiness too. If I was so excited about the news, she would be walking on air!!!
I had two instant sensations: I felt like a mother for a fraction of seconds. And it felt sublime, noble... Then, I clicked I am not one (at least not yet), and that made me want a baby right away! hehe Funny, funny thing when you receive this kind of announcement when you are partially awake, partially asleep. :oP
As she is one of my best friends (a sister to me!), I followed her pregnancy closely. Every nausea, the scans she had, her doctor´s appointments, her wish to have a normal delivery instead of a Caesarian, her belly just getting bigger and bigger as time went by, her tiredness when we were near the delivery date...
And here I am with so many thoughts in mind. Trying to figure out what this whole thing is... It is probably something similar to being born again. Restarting your life. Or seeing your life being changed forever. Or none of the above.
I reckon I would have to face the situation myself to understand it better. What I know and can assure: it is definitely something special. I remember clearly the bliss (=the state of complete happiness) all over me when I read her lines.
Welcome to life, princess! :oD
