Annie and Anna

We had an unexpected visit today with Anna's BFF (best friend forever) Annie.   Our friend Becky came in town for a visit and rather than having her come by both of our houses I decided to take Eli and Anna over to Annies house (honestly I was starting to get a little jealous that everyone had met Annie but ME!).     So while Annie's dad and Becky's husband entertained Eli (by the way Kenny he talked about going golfing with you the whole car ride home) the women fawned over the babies. 

For those of you that don't know, Julie (Annie's mom) and I have been the best of friends since we were 12.   When she shared with me back in March that she was 7 weeks pregnant, I couldn't believe that I too was 5 weeks pregnant.   We were even more excited to find out that we were both having GIRLS!!!   We both already had our GIRL names as well, and yes they were Annie and Anna and neither of cared/wanted to budge!  Then the month we had been waiting for arrived and we continued to share pregnancy symptoms and tried to guess when our little girls would arrive.  You can guess that Julie was pretty excited/surprised/frustrated when I called to tell her that I was in labor on HER DUE DATE (2 weeks early).   So she coaxed little Annie to arrive 2 days later.    Yes, we were in the hospital at the same time and no we were not able to see each other because of the timing of everything.   So today was our first time meeting her!!  We love you Annie and can't wait to get to know you/love on you even more in the future.
