Prego Friends!

It seems as though there are at least a couple handfuls of people I know that are due within a month or two of my due date. The best news of all...my great friend Cassie Foster and I are due on the same day! What are the odds of that? When I found out that I was pregnant I had tried calling Cassie a number of times only to get her voice mail and to never get a call back. I thought this was a little strange that she was not calling me back but I finally got a call back from her only for her to tell me that she had some news to tell me. She confessed that she hadn't been calling me back because they hadn't been telling people their news yet and was afraid she would slip if she talked to me. Long story short...she told me she was pregnant and due on March 12th! I then took my turn and told her that I was pregnant as well and was due on March 17th! We laughed at how ironic the whole situation was. As the months and weeks went by we were both told by our doctors that our due date had changed some...Cassie's got moved back 3 days and mine got moved up 2 days giving us both a due date of March 15th! I admit that the chances of us actually having our baby are pretty slim to none but hey just the idea of it all is wonderful and not to mention that I have such a great friend to share in all of this "newness" with. I only wish we lived closer to each other so we could really experience all of this together. We have been blessed to see each other a few times over the prego months and last time was just before Christmas and so we took a few pictures of our prego bellies together. I thought it was high time to finally share one of those pictures with everyone. Here it is...

In case you didn't know Cassie and I were paired up as roommates our freshman year of college along with Chelsea Russell. We lived together all throughout college and after. Cassie got married to Brady Foster right after Christmas in 2007 and they just had their first anniversary a few weeks back. Brett and I got married a few months after them on Feb. 16th 2008. We were both bridesmaids in each others weddings along with our husbands having a part in both weddings as well. So there you have it...a somewhat breif story of Cassie and I and our prego bellies.

I had said that I have a handful of friends who are prego too and so I will try and list them...
