Through the Years

To the shock of some, the friendship between Lucy and I did not begin from the womb.  While some have believed we were hired as a joint team and while some innocent children at our elementary school believe we are sisters, our journey only began a few short years ago.  Shocker-  I know!!

Little did my good friend Lucy know that the journey of our friendship would involve babies, babies and more babies!  When we met, Lucy was the ear who heard all the trials and tribulations of my desire to become a mommy.  She endured many B A D days with me where tears were all that could be seen.  She spent hours of a makeshift bed with me on a S A D day for the both of us.  She has learned more about the human reproductive system and fertility than she probably ever cared to learn! And for the 5 years we have been friends, we both find it humorous that I have been pregnant for the majority of our friendship.  Lucy really doesn’t know “non pregnant” Kasie!  HA!! 

But once the babies started being born… there was no stopping the Bailey Baby Train.  And thankfully Lucy has been along for every twist and turn on the ride! 

The extra benefit to this friendship has been watching our babies grow!  While I never knew Burns as a small baby, I can imagine what she looked like seeing as how I have practically every hand me down the child ever had!  (THANKS!)

Burns has been my fearless entertainer, bottle holder, babysitter, hide and seeker, passy finder and baby holder for the entire time I have known her!  She is just as precious as her momma and I love that my babies know Burns and fall out upset when she leaves my house!

These are priceless pictures!  And should Burns’ daddy ever allow her to date, I happen to know a  fine young man a few years younger than her who would be a suitable candidate for her!  

Now the next chapter of this friendship begins.  While everyone who knows me knows, I would be pregnant 5 times more, I think I am still in denial that this was my last time.  So now, our friendship can officially begin its non pregnant chapter.  

I can only hope for more years of wonderful laughs, late night conversations and special memories between Lucy, Burns and all our babies!
