There are so many joys that come with pregnancy! Picking out the names, decorating the nursery, buying all the clothes and extras, the baby showers...wow...the list goes on and on! When we are young girls we think about having that perfect wedding and the perfect life with Prince Charming, how many kids we are going to have, being next door neighbors with our best friends, and growing our families together. During my pregnancy, I had that dream come true. I had already met MY Prince Charming, had the wedding of MY dreams, and now, I had a dear high school friend who was pregnant with me and had the same due date! It was amazing.

Our pregnancies were not at all ideal, to say the least. We were both sick the entire 9 months and both had some complications near the end leading to c-sections. No, it wasn't our ideal situations, but GOD had this all planned out. You see, HE made it to where we could lean on each other. We would text and facebook almost daily to encourage one another and listen to our pregnancy woes. LOL. I don't know what I would have done without her during that time. She just....got it. She understood exactly what I was feeling both physically and emotionally. Pregnancy can be a HUGE roller coaster and for the most part I loved the ride! God knew that we needed a friend. You see, we hadn't talked to each other in well over...10 years?? So it was definitely Him working His blessings.

Our sons are exactly 12 days apart. We have talked a lot since having our boys and our friendship has just grown. I am so blessed to have Brittany Duvall in my life and for her to just get me like no one does, other than my husband. Our friendship is one that will last a lifetime and grow into the young girls dream of raising our families together! I thank God for bringing her back into my life daily and can't wait to see how our son's grow up having a friendship that will, hopefully, last a lifetime!
