Oh Happy Day!!

My bestest, bestest friend, Andrea is having another baby!! She texted me this morning telling me she was worried because she was two months late. I, of course, told her she was probably most definitely pregnant. The thing is, she has a 7 month old at home (an adorable little moppet named Ben) and she didn't think she was ready for a new baby. I totally know how she feels, I know I wouldn't be able to handle being pregnant again. She went and took the test and it was positive! She was so upset she was crying and I was in shock and we both didn't know what to say. I told her if she wanted to get an abortion I'd support her on it even though it would make me sad. I don't really know where I stand on abortion. It's kind of one of those words that out there in the world. I understand what it means but I've never come face to face with it. I think I'd be comfortable with having one if I got pregnant again right now but I know in my heart I'd never be okay with it. And that's how she is too. For about two hours we were discussing how to go about getting her the abortion. She even called the doctor for an appointment. That's when it hit me...she's pregnant! She's going to have a baby. A real baby. A beautiful little life...you can't just throw that away. I told Justin about it and he told me I should convince her to keep it. But I couldn't. I would support her on any decision she made. I did tell her, though, that having two babies isn't as hard as it seems. Sure it's extremely hectic at times but it's also rewarding. She talked to her fiance about it for awhile and just like that I got the most amazing text saying she was going to keep the baby! I started crying immediately. I can't believe it, another baby!! That's the best thing that could have happened. Sure, things are going to be a little tight for her but she's having another baby! I am the happiest I could be right now. I am so excited. She's going to be a mother of two :) She still hasn't told anyone but me, of course. I can't believe I'm the only one that knows!!! This is so big. I love this woman so much and I love her fiance, John even more. He's the one that convinced her to keep it! What an honorable gentleman, she couldn't have picked a better man. I'm crying right now I'm so damn happy.
