There is a girl that I have know for 10 years, and recently started working with a little over a year ago, that was due 2 days after me. Today she brought her new daughter in so the office could see her. I am surprised how calm I was. She asked me if I wanted to hold her and when I did it hit me. It took everything I had not to break down right there in front of everyone. I think she knew I was upset because she gave me a sympathetic look. I held her for a few minutes and she was crying. She had just ate and her mom said she couldn't get her to burp so I got her burp cloth and worked my magic. After she burped, I held her until she fell asleep. I was so happy to see her but also it was really hard to know that our due dates were so close and I should be on maternity leave still and be bonding with my 8 week old son.
