For all my friends who had babies before me!!

I never knew to come round in those early days and drop off dinner
I never knew that at 5pm you didn't need to hear abt my day
I never knew that I SHOULD NOT have used the words YOU SHOULD
I never knew that you might like an offer to babysit
I never knew that asking "so what else have you been doing" was rude
I never knew that you were not calling or e-mailing simply because you were too busy
I never knew that you were working so hard - not sitting around watching daytime telly
I never knew you were sometimes lonely
I never knew to come round with a bottle of wine instead of inviting you to the pub
I never knew what a great mum you were being
I know now......

Fi this is especially for you XX
