On Thursday, my dear friend Tanya and her new son Sam came over to visit! Tanya and I haven't seen each other in almost 5 years and we had such a wonderful time. Back in high school, 9th and 10th grade Tanya and I were BEST friends, she was really like a sister to me! But over time we lost touch and our lives went in different directions, as happens with many of your friends, but we recently discovered that we both have just had our first babies and they are both little boys. We both thought that we were the oldest of any of our classmates to have children this late in life...haha...But that is not where this story ends! Our sons...Mine...Cooper and Hers...Sam were born on the same day February 22nd and at the same hospital and we never ran into each other, our parents who have known each other forever never ran into each other...It's just been the best thing to discover and it is like a bond that was just meant to be! Now when Cooper starts doing something like chewing on his fist and slobbering, I can call her and sure enough Sam is doing the same thing. It is so reassuring as a new mom to know ok, so this is normal...He's probably not teething yet..He is just noticing his hands or his feet or he just figured out he has a tongue. It was nice to see them side by side and see how they are about the same size, when one cries you have to look around because they both cry the same. They make the same little noises and grunts and hand gestures and the smiles! So it has been a trip and I believe that God has brought us back into each others lives for a reason...Because if we had planned to have children together we never could have made this happen!
Here are some pictures of our beautiful, spoiled little boys! They are both 12 weeks old now...I can't believe it has already been 12 WEEKS! Neither of them really like to be put down and love to be held. This one picture of both of then crying cracks me up!
