A New Friend

This post actually begins the day before Bethany was born. On July 5th, her new friend Aleah Beth was born. My friend Molly and I both found out this past fall that our families were expecting new little ones. This would be their second child and our third born. Then we found out that she was due on July 1st and I was due July 15th. Then we found out both babies were going to be girls.

 Molly said all along that it would be neat if the babies were born about the same time. I would reply that would mean she would have to go past her due date and I would have to deliver early. As you can guess, that is exactly what happened! Aleah came 4 days past her due date and Bethany came 9 days before her due date! We were actually in the hospital at the same time for about 24 hours.

 Of course, we had to get pictures of the girls together in the hospital. It is pretty neat to have your new friend's birthday and your birthday only be one day apart!!

We are thankful to have good friends like the Coiners and we are looking to seeing Bethany and Aleah grow as friends together!!
