A Little Help From My Friends

I love that song, and how true it is.

There are days when I absolutely feel like I may die, right there, on the spot...and a friend calls or texts to ask how I'm feeling, or if I want some company. This pregnancy has taken a toll on me unlike anything my other two even compared to. I am sick, tired, drained, exhausted, nauseated, you name it! I am so anxious to hear a heartbeat these days I am actually counting down the days until my next doctor's appointment! I actually have friends offering to watch Laila and Kenadi while I'm there, what a miracle that is! To not have to take my 2 girls to the doctor, make them sit and wait, as we all lose our patience. My friends are as good as gold in my book.

♫♪What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

and I'll try not to sing out of key♫♪

I believe everyone has days when they feel like they can't win for losing. I just happen to have those days a lot more frequently than the average "Jane". I have no way of thanking my friends and family enough for putting up with the good and the bad, and sticking it out to be there for me.

♫♪Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends♫♪

 
Today, a few friends and I went to get pedicures at the nail salon here in town. I doubt I said 10 words the entire time we were there, but not once did anyone ask me why. They asked how I was feeling, if I needed anything, and the chatter about my upcoming baby was buzzing from chair to chair. I feel so blessed to have these amazing women in my life, I thank God for them every day.
