The hubster and I had some very good friends come and visit us for a long weekend. It was amazing, exactly what I needed. They brought a sense of normalcy back into my life and just for a moment, I could breathe a little easier.
Just knowing that there was no judgement from my friends and that they were willing to take a crying, screaming baby and soothe her until she fell asleep was just priceless, really no words can describe it. I don't get that sense of relief when my mom or the hubster are there for me. Even if they are holding Baby Girl, I know that I need to be ready to be tagged back in, but with my friend, she had it covered from start to finish. That's what a safety net feels like.
While my one friend covered the baby front, the other had me covered. She made sure I could be myself and find myself again. Their dual efforts really just brought me out of my postpartum rut. They just left and I'm overwhelmingly sad. I'll miss them so much.
