Genevieve, Annabel & Charlotte... The DREAM Playdate!

Gina and I have been best friends forever but we've recently included a new bestie into our little duo! Lizzie is also a Corpus gal and had sweet baby, Genevieve (Ginny), 3 days before Annabel was born. What's even more fun is that Lizzie married Gina's cousin so Ginny & Annabel are now cousins.

Since I had Charlotte first I started this whole mom journey by myself and then a month later Lizzie and Gina began. Since they've their girls we've literally been on a "3 way text" all 24 hours in a day. It got me through some pretty rough times being able to text these two girls about ANYTHING! And I mean a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g! Breastfeeding and all the joys and pains that go along with that, sleep, napping, sleep training, milestones, solids, cutting teeth, what to do when they get sick, what type of sleep sacks to use, should we still swaddle?, traveling with a baby... I could literally go on and on. These two mamas have become my lifeline. I don't know where I would be in this whole scheme of motherhood without them and their support. SO... with that being said they are basically my everything. The most sad part about our trio is that none of us life in the same city!! Lizzie still lives in Corpus and I've mentioned before Gina lives in Charlottesville, VA! We've been DYING to get our baby girls together since we all were pregnant at the same time and the time had finally come!

And sadly I'm the only one who actually looks pregnant! Haha

We planned our little dream playdate for Monday, Memorial Day. I had been secretly slaving away on the sewing machine at home making surprise matching dresses for the girls. We had soooo much fun letting the girls play and roll around on the floor. And of course all of us mamas were snapping away on our iphones and cameras. Sorry for all the photos but I couldn't help myself :)

Three sweet mamas... three sweet girls!

Together at last!

Annabel's Baptism/Trip to Seguin

Well the time HAD finally arrived.... my best friend Gina and her precious baby girl came to TEXAS!!!! I've literally been counting down the days for their arrival since Annabel was born. My Mom had come to Katy for a few days to stay with us so we followed her home to Seguin to stay with her since Gina would be in San Antonio for the weekend for Annabel's baptism.

We woke up early on that Saturday and drove in a record breaking rainstorm to witness the baptism of precious Annabel Fontaine Langford. As her Godmother, I was so proud to be there to witness it! Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the ceremony because my mom was on "Charlotte" duty at the back of the church while I was at the front for the ceremony with Gina and Brian and Brian's brother, Michael, who is Annabel's Godfather. I was so disappointed that Drew wasn't able to make it because his work schedule has been crazy, but he was there in spirit :)

After the baptism, we headed over to Brian's parent's house who live in San Antonio for a nice lunch. Both Passmore Families came from Houston and were there along with Gina and Brian's families. Can you believe that all of girls had all GIRLS!?!

Taryn with her girls, Felicity and Josephine (she was only a week old!), Gina and Annabel, Jessica with her girl, Mia Beth and her bun in the oven due in October and me and Charlotte.

Finally reunited... with our precious girls!

Future besties :)

Oh Mom! Is this for real? No more facetime with AB??

Hey there Charlotte!

I just LOVE this of Gina and Charlotte

After the lunch, my mom and I headed to downtown San Antonio to go to the Mexican Market. We were in need of some Mexican dresses for our reunion that was coming up the following weekend (more on that soon!) We met my Dad for dinner that night and Charlotte experienced her first time sitting in a high chair at a restaurant and sipping water from a straw. Look how cute this girl is! We also had a photo session with Grammy in the parking lot... you never know when those photo sessions are going to happen :) Haha

Eating a mum-mum of course

Just LOVE these two!

She loves her Grammy :)

The next day we packed it up and Charlotte and I headed to Corpus for the next 4 days for the ultimate playdate of a lifetime! A picture dump and post on that coming up next :)



My Best Friend

My beautiful best friend and her precious baby girl

When I found out I was pregnant last March all my hopes and dreams were coming true but I didn't realize how even more perfect life would be when my best friend told me she was pregnant as well! Not only had Gina and I shared growing up in the same neighborhood, cheered together in high school, both pledging the same sorority Tri Delta, planned our weddings together but now we were going to be having babies at the same time!

I will never forget the day that she told me the good news. Gina and her husband Brian were in Europe at the time taking an amazing vacation before he graduated from medical school and they would be moving somewhere across the country for his residency. She had called me a few times through skype phone to briefly tell me how amazing it was over there and some of the things that they had experienced. It was late that evening and a random number was calling me (I knew this was her since it was a skype phone through computer that she was using). I answered it sooo anxious to talk to her. I had literally found out I was pregnant the day before they left for Europe so every chance I could get I was ecstatic to tell her all about what I was going through. And then she told me something that BLEW my mind... "Becca, you're not going to believe this! But I took a pregnancy test in France and I think I'm pregnant too! And that means that I'm only a few weeks behind you!"

WOW! What a crazy, miraculous, amazing and exciting news! I couldn't wait until they returned home so she could go to her doctor to confirm. Long story short... she was pregnant and due only 5 weeks behind me. Not only were we besties but our future babies HAD to be besties too!

And then I found out I was expecting a girl... sweet Charlotte. And sure enough a few weeks later, Gina found out she was also expecting a girl... sweet little Annabel. You can't even imagine how excited we were to now be talking about bows, dresses, tea parties, and dolls.

I was so fortunate to be able to go visit Gina while we were both pregnant in July. Brian, her husband, was sent to Charlottesville, Virginia for his residency and I was so excited to travel to that part of the US for a few days to talk ALL ABOUT BABIES with my BFF.

November came and sadly Gina couldn't be with me when Charlotte was born. We did FaceTime constantly so it felt like she got to meet Charlotte right away. And then December came and Annabel was born. Sadly, I couldn't be there either to meet her either so again we FaceTimed as much as possible so it felt like I had met Annabel. Since then we literally FaceTime or at least talk on the phone or text multiple times a day so it's as if we aren't thousands of miles away. Gina plans on coming to Texas for a few weeks at the end of May and I could not be happier... I cannot wait to meet my sweet God Daughter, Annabel, and I cannot wait to give my best friend the biggest hug. I miss her so much but so thankful for technology that helps us ease the distance. And most importantly, I cannot WAIT for our baby girls to finally meet!



I love you Gina and I cannot wait for you to get here! Only a month and half away!!!
