Hi again Liz, you will find that the baby will change noticeably in only a week's time---growth, facial expressions, body movements. At that age, everything is happening fast. You won't want to miss a minute of it.
If you plan on nursing your baby, that's all the reason your friend needs to hear as to why you can't leave. If she doesn't get that, then she's no friend and not-at-all considerate.
she doesn't understand all the baby stuff because she's never done it herself. for a long time, me and her have been the only ones who've not had kids and we both never really understood the level of responsibility and the constrictions associated with bringing another human being into the world. but now I think and feel so differently and I don't think she's ready to understand my feelings about all this have changed.
I'll be telling her tomorrow that we won't be booking up for Kenya until Baby GRR is born and we know what is going on and how our life has changed. If she can't accept that, then we probably won't book to go at all.
