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 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.
