Last January, we both found out we were expecting and have since journeyed through our pregnancies together. It has been such a blessing to experience this special time with a best friend by your side. Even more, it has been lovely to watch her turn into a mother. Through our texts, emails and phone conversations this last week I have seen her blossom. Trust me, Mallory was a fabulous person before she became a mother – gracious, kind-hearted, trustworthy … my list could go on and one. But now, as a mom to her darling Olivia Brooke, she is a new woman. Her voice is full of love. Everything she says resonates with the beauty of becoming a mom. It’s still hard for me to imagine, what it will be like to see my little one and feel this overwhelming love that I see in Mallory. It’s coming though, and I can’t wait!
Stay tuned for much more of Mallory and Olivia … we are planning our bestie/baby reunion in late October (pending weather and health of mamas and babies)!
Baby of mine … We don’t yet know you gender and we haven’t come close to deciding on a name. What we do know is that you will change our lives. You were sent to us by God at a very special time. Not a time that we planned, but a time that fits perfectly into God’s plan for our family. I have a hard time imagining how much our life will change and how much your Daddy and I will love and adore you. I know it will be more than I have ever experienced. You will be one of our greatest treasures and we can’t wait to welcome you into our family! Not too much long, my little surprise! You will fill my heart with such extreme joy once you arrive! Until then, stay safe and warm … don’t keep me up too late and please, oh please, grace us with your presence sooner rather than later. We are eagerly awaiting your arrival :)
… it only takes 2 clicks and you can vote once each day! Baby (and mama) send lots of love and thanks your way :)
Wow, the time is really flying by, now! And how wonderful to get to watch your best friend blossom right before your eyes. Becoming a mother is truly lifechanging- I'm looking forward to it.
Send my congrats to Mallory!!!
Congrats to Mallory!!
Ooh big days.Must be exciting to know you are next!
Oh, we made it on to your blog! Thanks, friend! By the way, she was 6 pounds, 5 ounces (not 15….) but it doesn't matter. ;)You are so cute and you are having such good perspectives on everything. It will be over before you know it and then you will know the gender, the name, and start your way back to the skinny, big-busted lady you were before.You can do it, Big Mama!
