When Your Best Friend Has A Baby

Things just got a whole lot cuter up in here.

When Your Best Friend Has A Baby
Sarah Gail Jones

I remember when my best friend from high school called me and said that she had news. My stomach instantly dropped. I had no idea what was about to come out of her mouth. Little did I know at the time that what she was about to say was going to change our lives forever. I was sitting in the library at school at a computer next to a I remember when my best friend from high school called me and said that she had news. My stomach instantly dropped. I had no idea what was about to come out of her mouth. Little did I know at the time that what she was about to say was going to change our lives forever. I was sitting in the library at school at a computer next to a lady that didn't really like me talking on the phone so loudly. But I didn't care. My best friend just told me that she was going to be having a baby, and I knew from there on that things were about to get a whole lot cuter.

The first thing I thought was, "Oh crap. Did she really just say that?" Then I felt fear, excitement, worry, happiness, nervousness, elation, just about every emotion imaginable. But I knew in my heart of hearts that she was going to be able to do this. And man oh man was I right.

On March 23, 2016, little Tucker was brought into this world. I'd never been more proud of my best friend than I was when I watched her smile down at her son with nothing but pure love. She brought this beautiful little human into the world and I knew that she would do anything for him.

There's nothing that I love more than seeing pictures of him everyday and getting to love on him every time I go visit. I find myself shopping for him everywhere I go and finding things that he just can't go without. Does he need this tiny, little, adorable onesie with blue glitter on it? Yes. Yes, he does. It's boyish glitter. It's mainly glitter. He needs this tiny ensemble. I'm going to spend forever spoiling this little nugget, and why shouldn't I? It's my right as his fun aunt.

I'm never going to leave my best friend and her little family's side. I'm here no matter what life throws at all of us. This tiny human has stolen my heart, just like my best friend did freshman year in computer class.

To my best friend: I am eternally proud of the woman you are becoming, and for the little baby boy, you brought into this world. Do not ever forget how strong you are, or how much I love you. I'll always be here to cry, smile, laugh, and love every moment of life, right by your side. I love you and your little family to the moon and back and I can't wait to watch you kick butt at being a mom. The three of you guys have the biggest support system backing you guys up and we know that you guys are going to be kick butt parents. I love you guys with my whole heart, but I have to get back to online shopping for little, tiny pants now.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
