"Friends"

Who has made a friend in their childbirth class and then kept in touch with that friend weekly since the birth of their children?  Well, I did!   Last fall, Jay and I met a wonderful couple named Brad and Rachelle in our childbirth classes.  They were due with their 1st baby a few days before we were.  We got paired up for a group activity and developed a wonderful friendship.  Rachelle and I talked probably every other day finding out what was going on with each other's pregnancies.  She was induced 2 days before I was, so the day she left the hospital was the day that Elijah Brooks was born. In fact, we were on the same hall at the hospital!  They came over this past weekend for the afternoon so that the children could play together.  Alexa and Elijah Brooks had a wonderful time playing and we had a wonderful time visiting with Brad and Rachelle.  I continue to hear comments everywhere I go about how tall Elijah Brooks is...., well, people always say, "he's so big".  I just translate that to "he's so tall"!!   He really is about a head taller than most of the children his age and older.  I went to a playdate today and he was the youngest child there, but I promise he was at least 2 heads taller than the 10-12 month old children!  He is just a solid, healthy boy and I am so thankful!  He really doesn't even have rolls...., he's just solid as a rock.   I don't know how I got off on that subject....., okay, enjoy the pictures of Alexa and EB...., only 2 days apart. 

Playing so nicely together
