time flies

So, this afternoon I decided to waste some time by looking at my friend Barb's son's picture page (not that I didn't have work that I could have been doing). I looked at pics of her and Kieran from his first month of life and I began to think back to that time. When Barb went into labor I was on bedrest. Since bedrest had started, I had called Barb quite frequently to find out whether she was a mom yet or not. I remember talking to her the first couple of weeks lying in my hospital bed, awaiting the arrival of my own children. I can't believe that before the year is out, all of our children will be one! I remember the day she told me she was pregnant, I even went to one of her drs appointments with her when she still lived here.
I loved being pregnant with Barb, even at the end. I loved being able to share pregnancy worries, stories and issues with her. I love that she and I have kids that are the same age. We can have conversations that many of my other friends don't quite get because they're not going through it too (which is fine, I love how everyone listens to my laney and alie stories). I love to hear all of the new things that Kieran does each day, and I like to tell Barb about my girls. I feel quite lucky to have her friendship and to be able to share the joys of motherhood with her. I hope that our children might be able to share a precious friendship (especially since we have pictures of them together when they were still in the womb!). I love Barb!
