However, I changed, as people do and quite unexpectedly.
A few months ago I met 9pm. Of course I knew of her and heard her name mentioned once or twice but for the first time I actually met her and we became good friends almost instantly. It was around the time I discovered I was pregnant and she couldn't have been more supportive. It seemed the more I got to know her, the better I felt and easier my days became. Once she even introduced me to the infamous 8pm. (Who is so sweet by the way!)
Of course I do miss Midnight now and again. We had some good times, hell we had some GREAT times. But I know my relationship with Midnight has changed forever now.
Not to say that it's over, just changed. I'm sure once this baby is born, she and I will meet up again. It won't be all fun and games like it was before, but we will see each other again.
Oh I'm sure you'll get well reacquainted near the end of your pregnancy and when the baby comes. Friends who are that close always pick up where they left off, eventually!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Midnight will be waiting for you with open arms shortly. She will once again embrace you and welcome you, but I predict you will not be so excited to see her. You will be wishing with all inside you that she would just quietly pass and allow you to sleep through her arrival.
ReplyDeleteWhen you become the parent of adults and your time is your own again, many years from now, you might rekindle that love affair with midnight, but I can tell you it is a much more peaceful and tranquil relationship at that point. Still, just as important.
Excellent way to personify midnight. I love it!

This is such a clever post! Loved it! Yes, me and midnight were inseparable many moons ago...We too, had some great times together, but it came to an end. I meet up with a different midnight now and then, and let's just say, it isn't the same...lol
ReplyDeleteI do think you will meet midnight again as Jo said above---but also like she said, you my be a tad bleary eyed to appreciate her as you once did or totally taken with the new bundle of joy to notice.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you on your baby!! Cheers, Jenn
This is really cute (and I mean it in a good way)! Yes, you'll meet midnight, but she'll have bags under her eyes and won't be able to do more than sip a drink. ;)
ReplyDeletethis was so great. I loved your post. Btw when you have the baby you will also meet 5am and watch out , i hear she can be a little moody hahaha
ReplyDeleteClever take on the topic, and I guess you'll 'meet' many of the hours between midnight and 6am once your baby arrives. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL oh i LOVED THIS......hehe..psst 9 is my BEST friend..hehe
ReplyDeleteThis is my first GBE blog post & my first blog post in general for a loooong time. I really appreicate everyones feedback! It feels good to be back to blogging again. :)
ReplyDeleteTerrific way to approach the midnight topic! Well done. :O)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite posts by one of my favorite bloggers did a similar thing with "Mr. Fifteen Pounds." That was years ago and it's STILL one of my favorites...ever. :O)
Awesome post! Midnight and I were party animals back in the day. Now I'm better friends with 10:00 p.m. or like, you sometimes I like to cuddle up to 9:00 p.m.! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL...I love this witty post!
ReplyDeleteYep...when that baby gets here, you will definitely get reacquainted with Midnight.
When bundle arrives, midnight will be your friend once more.... constantly! Enjoy renewing your friendship, but look forward to getting to know 3pm and her delicious rest hour too *wink*
