I have a much longed for DD (4 months) after 3 long years of fertility treatment.
My DH and I met at Uni and lived with 2 other couples throughout uni. We were v v close during this time and have kept in contact. One of the girls, let's call her Alice, and I were I v close during this time and she was my MOH at my wedding. Fast forward 8 years, we live in different parts of the country and see each other far less. The other couple we lived with actually now only live 30 mins from us so we see them a lot. They have a son too, so naturally we do a lot with the kids.
I became v close friends with a female friend of DH, let's call her Jenny, they'd been friends since school). I've never clicked with another female like this before and we saw each other v regularly and are in constant touch on whatsapp and she is just the most wonderful friend imagineable. She is single but I have been amazed at how supportive and interested she was during my pregnancy and she just dotes on my little girl.
Alice is a lovely girl and I adore her. She sadly has suffered quite awful MH issues in the past few years and is not the same person. I have done my best to support her but (as has our other friend from uni) but she isn't able to keep in contact very much and I don't blame her for any of this.
I want to ask Jenny to be my DD godmother along with my brother and his wife. I know Alice will be v hurt by this as she is incredibly needy and prone to taking things very much to heart. She often worries that we aren't "close" anymore but I can't help this. Wwyd? I can technically ask her too but I don't want to
