I’ve been holding this one in for WAY too long! Our good friends, Claudia and Ted, are expecting their own little bambino/a and are due only two weeks after us! And though I’ve known for about 15 weeks…I was sworn to blog secrecy until now. Today, in fact. Apparently everyone has been brought up to speed and I’ve been given the official go-ahead to finally announce the news.
Claudia and I met on the first day of grade 7, 19 looooong years ago. I remember noticing her as soon as she walked into class…though I admit it was her crimped hair that first caught my attention. But we became fast friends, despite the hair, and here we are today – her, with her sophisticated and enviable style and me, clueless and still borrowing her clothes for job interviews. Nothing a year on maternity leave together can’t fix.
Claudia and Ted and Dan and I seem to following fairly similar paths. We got married within six weeks of each other (except theirs was in Peru…on a beach…at sunset), bought and moved into very similar houses within six months of each other and will now be starting our families in the same month. And that’s all happened since April 2005. A very busy year and a half…with an even busier 2007 on the way, or so I’m told.
Heartfelt and enthusiastic congratulations go out to C&T. We’re very excited to share this amazing experience with you.
Sonja - Congratulations you two!! Your children are going to be knock-outs!
