BFF

Let me tell you about Mendi. She's a nurse like me that I met shortly after moving here in 1999. I went to her wedding here and almost exactly a year later she flew to Indiana to go to Scott & I's wedding reception (we got married in Jamaica). I was living in Seattle when I got pregnant with Bailey and Mendi (still living here) got pregnant too. She ended up giving birth to her daughter Kylie exactly one week before I had Bailey. Couple of years later we both give birth to our boys. And then we end up pregnant at the same time again with our third! She just had another daughter, Katelyn. I thought for sure I'd be having a girl too since Mendi was but as you all know I'll be having another boy in July. Despite just having a baby 4 weeks ago she still loaded all the kids in the car and drove clear across the valley to come visit us!!

Brady, Bailey, & Kylie (either Bailey's really
short or Kylie is really tall)

Baby Katelyn who Brady & Bailey adored!

Baby Conner who is not a baby anymore (2 yrs)

Me & Mendi

Despite the smile in this photo Bailey cried

& cried when it was time for them to go!

That's awesome! Friends are the best. My close friends from high school all have a baby within a year of each other which is so special to me!! Of course how cool is it that all us girls on the street have these babies so close together!!
