The Old Lady

Brighton
Been there today to see a friend of mine. She has two children, boys, aged 10 and 7, so she has been through lots more than me! I kind of started to feel bad as we discussed my pregnancy etc as i realised that 10 yrs ago when she was going through it all and I was at university i showed v little interest as i just had no idea of the world she was living in and all that she was experiencing. She said that lots of her friends are feeling the same- that we probably didnt offer her the support she needed at the time because we werent aware of what her needs would have been. Now of course she is in a fantastic position to offer help/advice/support as she has been through so much herself. Anyway her boys are a credit to her and I had a lovely day by the sea! Shame the weather wasnt any nicer as we couldnt really have our planned picnic on the beach when her boys were at school. Our worlds are very different but it is so good to learn from each other and catch up.I think I last saw her 3 years ago so lots has changed for both of us.....

Day with my mother in law tomorrow which i am looking forward to! More shopping for baby i would think!
