Natalia Vodianova and baby Neva shot by Mario Testino via tatielle
I just got home from the only event important enough miss tonight's episode of The City for: my dearest friend Kelli gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I held her in my arms when she was just hours old and she looked right at me and it was just the trippiest, coolest thing that's ever happened.
Kelli is the first one of my friends to have a baby. I'll be the first to admit, it was a mistake. When she told me she was keeping it, I wouldn't talk to her for two weeks. I told her in no uncertain terms that she was crazy, irresponsible, and well on the way to ruining her life. In case you couldn't tell, I'm prone to fits of passion and harsh judgement. It's not something I'm proud of, but then again I didn't NOT have a point. I was just an insufferable bitch about it.
And then tonight I held this healthy, 9 pound, 1 ounce baby girl in my hands, and it all just made sense. She is beautiful, perfect, innocent. A gurgling mass of hungry and poopy and crying. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still don't get it but now I kind of get it, you know?? Babies. Weird.
Oh, and I got new shoes. I know, I know, totally inappropriate, but since that minor transgression has been so thoroughly eclipsed by the birth of a blessed child, it really does seem petty to condemn my behavior, doesn't it?
aw, well then it was so worth it to miss the show. congratulations to your friend!!

Was she very young? I on the other hand is baby ready and crazy these days. But logically need to wait about 2 more year or so to adopt. I have one friend who is 35 pregnant who is the first and one of the oldest out of my friend. But now that I'm 27 I think in about 2 years or so everyone will be popping out babies.

I remember the day you found out about Kelli. I am glad to see that everything has worked out.. and no worries- we're all prone to harsh judgment once in a while!
