Best friends: When friendship fails

Right now it feels like my relationships with people I thought were my friends is falling apart. I don't talk to many people anymore that I once always talked to and it hurts, but I'm getting older and people will fade away. I have a child on the way and I'm going to be a mom soon so its hard to see friends anymore. I'm always busy doing things, trying to prepare myself for my new baby boy on the way in august, and I just feel like there's not enough time in a day to get everything done. I have this friend and she's very close with me, we hardly see each other anymore, and there's reasons for that. I'm living with my boyfriend and he doesn't really like her so I don't see her as much, and shes pregnant too so she has alot to prepare for her new baby girl on the way. It just hurts me because we use to be best-friends and I believe that we still are we just don't talk or see each other very much. There is that possibility that were going to grow apart, that our friendship is going to fade and thats something that I don't want to happen. If it does id be crushed but its time to grow up and I know that people change and people get older and friendships change. Hopefully we wont change too much, but if she finds another girl and she becomes her best friend good for her, It will probably hurt a little but maybe its for the best. I cant always be there for her anymore I have so many other things to worry about and I try to see her as much as I can its just hard. I had this best friend before her and I moved away and we grew far apart and now we never talk anymore that tore me apart, and it was really hard for me losing my best friend for 5 years, but eventually I got over it and moved on and thats when I found a new best-friend and shes great, she gives good advice and listens and she always tries to be there when I need her, shes always been there for me. So if we fade within time I will never forget her and never hate her for whatever reason, I'll just know that we grew up.
