the best kind of friends

Illustration by Sophie Parker

My friend Meredith is visiting this week from North Carolina, and it's been such a gift. She's one of those wonderfully laid-back-game-for-anything friends. For a little while I feel bad that I don't have the stamina to take her to all the places I love around the city, but she doesn't let me play that card for too long; She's perfectly understanding and happy to take it easy. We lay around the house, sip fresh ginger tea, knit, draw, watch old episodes of Arrested Development. 

With no pressure to entertain or impress, these are the best & only types of friends to surround yourself with during pregnancy!
