From British Invasion to Baby Invasion

I find it so strange to really believe that so many close friends of mine are having children. I mean, all and all this isn't something that really comes as that much of a curve ball given that we are more or less at the age when a lot of our parents had us and where it is completely socially acceptable to be a parent... it just seems almost unreal that time has flown by that fast.

It seems like yesterday that we were in the 8th grade without drivers licenses or a care in the world. That was the year I met Emily and Katelyn, two of my best friends to this day. Now it's 6 years later and Emily has just given birth to a beautiful little girl named Lily Ann Taylor with her boyfriend of 5 years, Ryan. I was actually the person that introduced these two our freshman year of high school, and I don't think I would have ever pictured them having a baby five years from then.

Personally, I am absolutely delighted with all of this because it gives me the opportunity to play the role of pseudo-aunt to little Lily and a few others, and let's be honest, isn't that what EVERY woman wants? The ability to spend time with and spoil a baby without actually having the responsibilities that come with those babies? I know Katelyn is looking forward to this role just as much as I am! ;-)
