A year ago today Ry and I went to Di's for dinner with her and her family and I told her the big news that I was pregnant. And she told us she was pregnant too. We shared our due dates and literally jumped and screamed in excitement for us and this amazing thing we were now going to share. She was due just three days before me!
It was so awesome to be able to share everything we were going through, each milestone and picture and concern, for five months. Even though Korbin was born too soon, he and Viv are forever due date buddies. And I feel a deeper connection with her because of that. I so wish Korbin were here for them to know each other, but Di has assured me Viv will know about him.
This special connection has allowed me to be around a baby when I didn't think I would for a very long time. I can't not hold this special little girl who shared so much with Korbin. And the two of them, to me, have brought Di and I closer. Sort of a new level of friendship beyond the friendship we shared before.
What an amazing experience we got to share. How often do people who are already so close get to share a pregnancy experience? Not often from what I see around me. I'm fairly certain that will be the only time. But being able to know Viv now has done wonders for my heart.
I got a lotta love to give.
:*) was it really a year ago? Wow. That was such a special day and I remember it so vividly. I was actually talking to Viv about Korbin yesterday :). It warms my heart so much to think back to us excitedly screaming so loud, and trying the different ginger ales (remember that gross one ha ha). What a special friend you are and I am so thankful Viv (and E) will get to know you as they grow. God bless you Lis.
