Birthday Sisters

Natalie had one other wish on her birthday. Kelly's due date happened to be on Natalie's birthday. All week long she told everyone that Kelly was going to have her baby on her birthday. She loved feeling Kelly's tummy and the baby move while Kelly was pregnant. On Friday she continued telling everyone Kelly was having her baby today. As the day wore on it didn't look like it was going to happen.  I kept telling Nat, I don't know honey it might not be. And she would respond, yeah she is. Alright then. Kelly was so ready to have her baby girl.

We celebrated Nat's birthday and went to bed. At 11:45 my phone started buzzing with a text message. I was asleep but after it buzzed again, because I sleep with my phone in my bedroom every night just in case of emergencies, I rolled over and looked at my phone. It said this.

"Nat got her birthday wish! Baby girl arrived about 11:30."-Kelly

And even now typing that I get teary. Birthday sisters Nat calls it. Natalie Rose and Lilly Ann, there is no doubt there will be a bond between these two. I love it.

Oh and I have to share after meeting Lilly for the first time and getting to hold her Nat was in the car and said, "That baby is soo frickin' cute!"

Yep. I let it slide just that once because there's no denying that Lilly is absolutely beautiful, or as Nat also said, "She's adorable, which means really really cute." We're all pretty smitten with this little sweetheart. Maddie and Ben both love babies so there will definately be lots of us in line to hold baby Lilly. Congratulations Kelly, Matt, Emma, Isaac, and Wyatt! We're so happy for you all!

Now we just need to work on Jessica and/or Sara to have a baby on Maddie's birthday because she needs someone to share her birthday with. Benjamin shares his with Nathaniel. We love to share birthdays around here! It just makes the day that much more special.

Life is so so good!
