I have been worried like you wouldn't believe for my best Friend. We have been friends since 3rd grade, she married a guy I was friend with since the 6th grade, I was even in her wedding. We talk at least once a week every week since high school.
We live several hours away so calling each other is a occasion. I called her on the 9th of Jan to see how she was (She was due to have her baby on the 9th) So when I talked to her she told me she was having a sonogram on Monday to see how much room the baby had and weather they were going to induce. I tried to get hold of her 3 times after the 15th (which was the Monday) I finally got ahold of her tonight... She had the baby on the 15th and didn't call me... I mean its been 10 whole days and she couldn't pick up the phone, I know there is a lot to do with a new baby and she has a two year old so I can understand not calling for a few days.

Am I being selfish? I think I might be bing a little touchy since I'm not there. I was the first person she called when her first daughter was born (After her parents were called of course)

Am I a bad friend?

I think I probably would have been a little hurt too if I was in your situation, did you leave messages the other times you tried to call? maybe there were other issues

My feelings would probably been a little hurt, but I woulda ended up just forgetting about it. Friendships mean more to me than my feelings sometimes. You are never alone if you have friends.

I would have been hurt too. Maybe you could hint to her that you were a little upset that she didn't call to tell you. Don't make a big deal out of it though, you never know what situations might have arose. Having a baby can be tough.

I wouldn't be mad, but just would let her know that you were worried. Having a baby while you have a toddler must be exhausting!

I wouldn't take TOO personally. If she was induced, she probably was exhausted and maybe a little sick for a couple of days.

By then I'm sure her life was a revolving door of congratulations.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad... just more concerned and a little left out I feel like the odd man out. I was the only person she hadn't she had time to have two of her bridesmaids and their families over for dinner but not enough time to call me (I know because my call interupted their after dinner conversation)

OK - normally I would say don't be upset, but after you posting about her having the others over for dinner - yes I would be very upset. I'd have to take a time out to think it over before I did or said anything to her that I couldn't take back, but I'd find a way to let her know how hurt I was.
