Oh Babies..

It seems like so many I know are expecting or have recently had babies. (most of which have also been or will be baby girls) It's sort of fun that it worked out this way so our children can grow up together and hopefully have some life long buddies. This morning we got the call that my friend Tracy had her baby. Congrats, Terry and Tracy, on the birth of Elise Lauren. (I'm assuming that's how you are spelling it) They funny thing about Tracy and I is that we both were expecting our third babies and that with our first two children the genders were exactly the same not to mention the kids are all really close in age. On a side note, we have found out the gender of each of ours ,whereas Terry and Tracy have waited for the surprise with each. So, as you can imagine with each of Tracy's pregnancies we've eagerly awaited knowing the gender. It's been so much fun watching the kids grow and become friends over the past 3 years. I was sort of hoping they'd have a boy this time, as that's what we're having, but God had other plans for them or other plans for us. (depending upon how you look at it I guess) Anyway, now we'll get the joy of having our third babies still close in age yet different genders for a change. Plus, I guess it would've been somewhat crazy if we would've had all 6 babes in exactly the same fashion. It'll be interesting to see what of my other friends, whose children also fall into the same gender patterns, end up having when it comes time for them to have their third. For now we're just excited for Terry and Tracy, and all you others who are expecting, not to forget our own upcoming baby. Only 6 weeks to go... the countdown isn't far off.
