La Famille
What they will do for you, no one else will. They might nag you about eating when you don't want to or peeing when you don't need to or force you to lie down all day because they think you need it!
You can only wake mommy dearest four times in a night to make you wear socks and then to remove them(repeat) and daddy darling might not be spending the nights with you but he knows how to keep you positive through it all.Trust the brother and the sister in law who will come and chat with you, give you pep talks, play Uno and always hold your hand in the not so happy moments.Finally, add a 1 year old niece to the combination and you have your entertainment sorted for the next few months.
The Sisterhood
They will visit you, dance for you, sing for you, feed you fresh fruit dipped in nutella, bring you presents from Victoria's Secret, bring a full Banoffee pie, help cut your clothes off, remove the five days old chipped nail paint, cut your nails, hear you crib, cry, laugh, talk crap, check on you on daily basis, come visit you as often as they possibly can and just be there for it all. Thank god for them!
The Boyfriend
The one who will sit tightly holding your hand for those 3 hours before you reach the hospital. Be kind enough to bring a new jar of Nutella on the first day of the hospital life. Also bring you goodies from the mall and some peri peri chicken spaghetti or sushi or cinnamon rolls or basically anything you want. If there's a time for your family to get to know the boyfriend..its NOW!!
The Jing Bang
The jing bang is the reason you want to get A-OK as soon as possible. You cannot be the only one missing the pool parties, the birthdays, the vacations, the Wednesday night-no reason hangout plans.
The Internet
The most important one..for when you will not be able to sleep at night and you will have no other form of entertainment. The internet will save you from all your misery, so make sure you have the best broadband connection possible with at least a 200 GB data plan.
If there's anything I have learnt so far it's how amazing everyone around me is and how thankful I am for having them.
