You Give Me Fever

Baby fever that is. It is just me or doesn’t it seem like everyone is either pregnant or just had a baby? Don’t be confused by this post, I do NOT have baby fever. Not yet at least. Maybe in one or two years….maybe.
Anyway, we have four friends who just had babies…and now two more friends from work are expecting. Crazy! Didn’t we all just get married???? I love visiting with new babies….they are just too adorable for words!

My friend Kate just had a baby girl at the beginning of this month. And she is the cutest thing you have ever seen. Kate and I were friends in high school all the way out in California. Funny enough we both ended up marrying Michigan boys and living out here. Crazy huh? Last Friday I worked a half day and then skipped on over to visit Kate and her precious baby girl.

Here is me with baby D. The picture is blurry (I am so bad at explaining the SLR to other people) but you get the point.

And here is the proud mama! Doesn’t Kate look amazing? She is my new mom hero. I had such a great time catching up with an old friend.
So tell me….anyone else out there surrounded by babies? Do you have baby fever?

    You TOTALLY have the fever! I'm lucky my friends are just starting down the engaged/married path 🙂 I'm just going to hope to be an aunt first.

    Baby D is precious…….and Kate looks great as a new mom! (note that I wrote "Kate" ,but you know I am thinking "Katie"!!)

    I'm just praying that you don't get baby fever before I can move to Michigan.
