Our friends Megan and Javan are basically experiencing much of what we went through, a couple years ago. They have a gorgeous son, Cam, and on February 8 they welcomed Colin (7 lbs., 8 oz., 21.4 in.) and Vivienne (6 lbs., 11 oz., 18.5 in.)—I know, Megan’s a rockstar—at 7:33pm and 8:03pm. They are doing […]
5lbs, 14 oz., 20 inches—born March 11, 2013 at 4:56a.m. We hung out with him this week and he’s already up to 15 lbs. He’s perfect, and bringing so much happiness. Congratulations, Mark and Jen! “Every child begins the world again …” —Henry David Thoreau
Aimee, Shruti and I oddly became close friends near the end of high school. Why not all through high school, I don’t know. We spent that summer between high school graduation and college (each in a different state) forging a friendship that still stands strong, even when we only see each other a couple times […]
5 lbs., 15 oz., 18.75 inches—born December 15 to two of my longtime friends. I couldn’t be happier for you, Greg, Jenna and Hannah! Welcome, Brendon! “Babies are such a nice way to start people.” —Don Herrold
Beautiful Kayla was born September 8 to our good friends Mandy and Bill. Every time I’ve seen her she’s been sleeping peacefully (although I’m sure that’s not true always!). Bill and Mandy fell into parenting seemingly so smoothly … I love when Mandy talks about dancing around her house with Kayla. And although we’re done, […]
Our friends Christine and Mark welcomed beautiful baby Emma into the world May 23. Christine is a wonderful mom. I know these first few months probably weren’t always easy but every time I’ve seen her she’s seemed so relaxed, laid-back and super-active with her son Connor. She inspires me. “Every child begins the world again […]
Our friends Alan and Melissa welcomed their beautiful baby Alice into this world March 15 at 2:55 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20.5 inches long. At John and Corie’s wedding, we finally got to meet Alice—and spent much of the next day visiting her. Alice Matt and Quinn friends Sophie and […]
Every time a friend of mine has a baby, I post about it. (Search “welcome” for all the new beautiful babies I’ve had the pleasure of holding.) It occurred to me, only today, that I never wrote an official welcome post for Nora Helen Estridge, born July 5, 2011, 6 lbs. 15 oz., 20 in. […]
My sister, Katy, and her husband, Tom, welcomed the most perfect, beautiful baby girl into their family March 31 at 5:25pm. She weighed 10lbs., 15oz. and was 24″ long at birth. And no, Katy did not have a c-section. And yes, she is a total rock star. Katy and Tom live in Winston-Salem, NC. March […]
Beautiful Mya was born March 22, weighing 8lbs., 2 oz., to our good friends Marty and Angel. When I asked Sophie what advice she had for Zoey in terms of being a good big sister, Sophie said Zoey should play with Mya. I’m sure she will. Congratulations, Beets family! We’re so happy for you! “Where […]
