Hi Guys,

before i start, im sorry every time i right a post, or chat to you im always moaning about how im feeling.

My best friend in the whole world gave birth to a beautiful baby boy the other day. It took her a whole day to call me and tell me her good news - her excuse - she was scared she upset me. All i could think of was - Have i been that bad that my best friend felt she couldnt talk to me.

I thought i would be fine - i love children. I went to see them both today, her first words to me when i arrived was I hope your not jealous, i know i have what you always wanted. I was so angry, why would i be jealous how so insensitive.......................

When i saw her wee boy ( Shay) all i could see was mylittle girl - Is this normal, i couldn't wait to get our her house.

I feel really bad now though as i think i might have been a bit rude with her. I havent been able to stop crying since...i sat for an hour when i got home clutching Carlie's blanket - I miss her so much - why couldnt it have been me she had her whole life ahead of her - i dont understand.

    Hi Stars - You say she is your best friend in the whole world ? - I assume from that she was there for you when you lost your daughter Kirsty and understand more than anyone else just how devastated you have been and are now ?

    I think she may even feel guilty that, through no fault of her own, she has a healthy child while you are still suffering so much.

    Recon she chose the wrong words - jealous ? - saddened may of been a better alternative?

    If she is your best friend don't worry about being rude to her - friends understand and don't hold grudges

    I just hope you can be there for her as well - she is also going to need help in the early days, you may even find the fact you are an 'Aunty' now to Shay may ease some of your grief ??
