Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Prego Friends Countdown...

When it took us a year and a half to get pregnant this time I had moments of fearing all my friends would be done with childbearing by the time I finally had another baby. I worried that I wouldn't have a "pregnancy buddy" which I distinctly remember Chris writing a paper about in college where he found research supporting easier pregnancies and better final outcomes if a woman had a close friend who was also pregnant. Well, as with most of my fears, they were unfounded and I know probably a dozen pregnant people right now and MANY close friends. In fact, there's a group of about 7 of us from college who still stay in touch and the 5 of us who are married are ALL pregnant right now! Insanity. Anyway, with no shortage of prego buddies, it's been so much fun to share all the joys and woes and of course-belly pictures! As of now, 2 friends have had their babies. I have one more due in June and then my turn!!


My friend Michelle at her baby shower...

and a couple weeks later Adyson was born!

My friend Jennifer from college at 39 weeks. I got to visit her in Boston and she went into labor 4 days later!

And her beautiful son Henry was born!


My friend Annie is due in June!

And Holly is due in October...with TWINS!

So much baby excitement all around. I'm loving it!
