As you know my girlfriend Elizabeth and I are due just 4 short days apart with our baby's. It's been quite the journey for both of us being pregnant and we've really embraced having each other go through the exact same milestones at almost the exact same time.
We are both excited to raise our kids together and teach them all the diverse info we have between the 4 of us. She's a mathematical statistician, her husband Sean is a mechanical engineer, Chris is a mechanic and I'm a aviation nerd. Hopefully somewhere in there we will be able to teach these little ones some common sense and how to do math!
We are also aligned on how we want to raise the kids. Both her and I have read "Bringing up Bebe" which we absolutely loved. We both love the philosophy and the ideas that the book represents. It's the simple things like getting your baby to sleep through the night, being able to sit at the dinner table when it get's older with out having a fit because it's bored and having respectable manors to accompany all those things.
We are excited to make our own food for the baby's and to extend their pallet away from the typical Mac and Cheese and fish sticks that so many people seem to think is an acceptable lunch every day. (Not saying our kids wont have those things, but at least they will know what their veggies are!!)
In going with our theme we thought it would be fun to take a photo of our bellies just to remember these days before the kids. We plan on taking a photo of the kiddos every year together to watch them grow.

| I'm on the left in the Black and Elizabeth is on the right in the Orange. Funny how our bellies are so different looking. Not to mention she is almost 5'10 and I'm respectively 5'7. |
How special, I wish I could of had someone to share all these kind of experiences with. Yes Brandon was great, but it wasn't a girlfriend. I am a little jealous of you two for this true special friendship. I think it is great, and your kids will grow up to be amazing people, I am sure with all that brain power going around. :)
