Reflection:
Rachael worrying about Emma and she can't leave her make me think about my future, if I am mother someday, will I be this like Rachael did? Cannot leave my child every second, even someone is taking care of him/her. It also makes me curious about what the situation my mom was. Was she nervous like Rachael after my elder sister was born? Let me ask her next time! Also, Rachael, Ross, Chandler and Monica is late for Phoebe's birthday dinner, but they don't give her a call? It' not polite, no wonder Phoebe shouts in the restaurant. After everyone is there, Mike calls, then Phoebe goes dating with him. It's ironic but Joey eats a lot happily. I'm really into Joey, he is so optimistic and his consideration is alwasy different from others.
