Playing mommy for a week

My BFF is going on a cruise next week and her aunt flaked on her last minute on watching her 3 month old daughter. So being the awesome friend that I am, I offered up my services if she could find someone to watch the baby during the day. Now it’s official, I’ll be dropping off the baby every morning at "daycare" and picking her up every night after work.

It’s a little intimidating seeing as I don’t have any children of my own and mommy will be off sailing the seas. I’ve been around children a LOT but they’ve always been older. For some reason it took me until today to realize I have to change diapers and everything. Plus this is a couple days after Steve's shoulder surgery (I asked him before offering to watch her) so I will have him to take care of as well. He figured he'd be okay having her there because he'll be so knocked up on drugs he probably won't even notice.

Wish me luck! I'm hoping to have her come back and I can say "Here's your baby back, I've got one of my own."
