wow, noone told me that pregnancy is this much trouble!! And at only 5-6 weeks along!!!
My best friend Kristy is no longer talking to me because i told her that i didn't want her to be a godmother....
Yes, i know i told her last year that if i ever had a baby, she would be godmother. and yes, i understand that now revoking that, is a tiny bit mean.
But still....
My DP and i have been talking about it and we decided that we wanted to keep godparents in the family, and that we wanted them to have children of their own already.
So DP's cousin Aaron and his gorgeous wife Sarah are a natural choice for us. They have three of the most beautiful little kids (Jayden- 4, Haylie- 2 and Jaxon- 9months) and their amazing parents.
But now, Kristy isn't happy with me. Back then, yes, she was my choice, but now, when i sit there and really think about who i would trust leaving my child to if anything happened to me and DP, i don't think i would be able to trust anyone. Things that people did years ago, now bother me, i'm thinking, "oh god, do i really want my son or daughter to go to some one who used to go out and get drunk all night??" (ok ok ok, i've had my share of drunken nights)
Kristy is an amazing woman, but there is always some kind of problem that she has. And i really just don't feel comfortable with leaving bub to her.

So now my best friend has decided that she no longer wants to talk to me. I understand her pride must be bruised. But i'm not going to give that responsibility to someone i don't think is right for the job. As my wise superwoman mother said, picking godparents isn't about who your best friend is at the time, it's not a popularity contest, it's who you think will do the best job at raising your child should anything happen to you. I agree...
