. . . I went out to eat. with friends. with the baby. It felt like old times, except that Olivia was happily sleeping next to me in her carrier-- that is, until she decided to wake up and scream. Luckily, her smart mommy had pumped milk to bring in a bottle. It felt so good to get out and see my friends, just like old times, except that some of my attention was spent trying to console the baby. I was trying to catch up on my news and gossip from my 2 good friends Rebecca and B. B didn't know I was coming, and when I walked in, he screamed. I know I've only been out of the loop a few weeks, but B has gone totally out and proud on me. He's always been gay, but he had on a tight tee and a bandana on his head. Whoa!
"So what have I missed at work?" (patting the baby)
"Are you and S officially a couple now?" (trying to bounce baby on knee)
"Are you going out later tonight" (wiping spilled milk off baby's chin)
I felt like Miranda from "Sex and the City". After she has her baby, she meets the girls as usual, but brings the baby. He is a constant distration and she begs her friends to pay attention to her and pretend things are the same. I was happy Olivia was there though. :-)
In case you didn't see above, Rebecca has started a blog. Go say hello! :-)
