While walking in an antique mall with my darling husband (true love) one day, I ran into 'Steve' (first love). Turns out he and his lovely wife, 'Lynn', live within 2 miles of us. After a couple years of dinners at each others' houses, shopping trips with 'Lynn' and the guys getting to be good friends we found out we were going to have a baby. We told 'Lynn and Steve' about it Thanksgiving week after a particularly nice dinner. They looked so surprised. They had been planning to tell us the same news. Lynn and I were preggers at the same time, our babies due within a month of each other. Due to toxemia, I had my son first (3 months early). One month and one week later, they had their son.

The boys are now the very best of friends -- as are their parents. Funny how life works. (And no, there's no funny-business going on...lol)

The true love is now snoring peacefully on the couch after a rather largish lunch of home-made chicken and dumplins, lol. He's been on vacation since 12/19. True love or not, it will be only bittersweet for him to go back to work 1/6.

The other part of my heart fell asleep in 5 minutes after protesting, "But I'm not sleepy at alllll...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"

My dear Kimmie, your story is so beautiful, and proves that old adage, you just never know what's going to happen in life, but one thing is clear.. good things, usually happen to good people.. Happy New Year.. :)
