Bebe those cakes look really lovely! The teacup's fantastic. You're going to do so well, I can feel it.
Strange day yesterday. Too much pressure on poor DH really, he had everyone asking when we were going to ttc and trying to get him to hold the baby, he got quite cross. We did have quite a long discussion about ttc after we left, DH feels it is far too big a hit on your life. He was impressed with my friend's DH's dedication and said he could see he was really into it. He couldn't imagine giving up nights out with his friends.
I pointed out that my friends are still only 2 weeks in and they are bound to be fully focused on their baby and not worrying about going out, particularly with everyone dropping round all the time. My friend's DH isn't necessarily going to spend the next twelve months rocking the crib.
My friend had had an awful labour, 30 hours in all and having to be cut several times not just once. Her DH, whose a doctor, said it was the worst thing he'd ever seen. Worrying. By contrast, my sister had also gone to see a friend with a new baby. She had had a lovely labour with no complications. DSis and I compared notes last night over a lot of wine! I think my sister's at the point of considering ttc as well. Better get my skates on!
So in summary, it wasn't a visit that just automatically made up our minds to get SWI, particularly DH, but it gave us a few things to think about - and I got to cuddle a lovely snuggly little newborn all afternoon!
Always lovely to see old friends as well.
