We went to visit our friends Neil and Meg last night to welcome their daughter, Beatrix Amanda. It was fun to see her and big sister Audrey. (Readers who were at our wedding--Neil was the best man.)
It was very fun to see a newborn again. You forget how small they are! We also realized that she is 2 lbs and 4 inches smaller than Annie was at that age, so she seemed really minuscule. Annie played well with Audrey--as well as a 1 year old can play with a 4 year old--and I was proud of her for not being shy or crying. We also enjoyed talking about what it is like for them to have 2 kids now. They've only been home on their own for a few days, so it's still pretty new, but I'm glad they are venturing into that territory before we do. That way we can ask them how to do it! Two kids can seem very overwhelming at times, so I'm glad we'll have them to help us figure it out.
Beatrix is the first of four babies scheduled to arrive among Sam's old softball buddies. Next comes Brian and Nikki's 2nd boy (inducing this week!), then our little guy, and then Karl and Christine's bambino in early October. So in the span of 1 baseball season these guys will all have babies to tote around with them. Babies everywhere!
