Friends and Babies


Lacy, Irene, new mom Natasha, and me
Alexander William King
Irene, new mom Lindsey, me (Lacy is out with the kids)
Riley Marie Harding

So yesterday was intense!!!  A bunch of us friends had plans to hang out for most of the day to go shopping and just relax.  We knew our good friend Natasha had been in labor for about 2 days and we were getting regular updates on her progress.  Right as Irene, Lacy, and I were ready to leave for our morning run we received the call that she had given birth to Alexander William King (8lb. 4ounces).  We hung up the phone and 30 seconds later got the call from our other friend, Lindsey, that she was registering right then to have an emergency C-section!!  She wasn't due for a month!  We went for our run, awaiting details for both friends.  We got back, miraculously found a babysitter for all of our children, went to the store for flowers, went to the hospital to see Natasha.  Went back to rescue the babysitter and take her to her riding lessons.  Got the phone call about Lindsey (Riley Marie Harding 6lbs. 6ounces), met back at the hospital (with the children), visited Lindsey and played switch off babysitter with Lacy.  Then we headed back to Lacy's house with an extra kid (I was babysitting my friends girl) and stayed there until shortly before our men got back from Busch Gardens.  Needless to say it was QUITE an eventful day, but I am sooo happy for both the Kings and Hardings.  Both babies are healthy and we love you all!!!!
