4 friends, 4 babies, for 3 days!


A few weeks ago, I headed to Dallas to meet up with my girls from nursing school. Usually, 6 of us get together for a weekend of catching up, re-connecting, and laughing until our sides hurt. Sadly, Maurine and Wendi couldn't make it this year (we missed you!) so it ended up being the 4 of us pictured below (Alisha, me, Suz, Jessicca). Suz just had QUADS, so we spent 3 days together loving on her precious babies; Andrew, Benjamin, Savannah, and Ethan. SO sweet.


Suz and her husband Joe have the babes on an awesome every 4-hour feeding schedule. We all jumped right in and helped with feedings, diapers, laundry, bottles, and burping :) It was definitely a reality check into the world of parenting. Granted, most parents aren't juggling 4 newborns! But, I must say, Joe and Suz are doing an amazing job.


In a moment of insanity, Jessicca and I volunteered to do one of the middle-of-the-night feedings by ourselves! It was absolutely hilarious. Imagine us waking up all 4 babies at once, changing diapers, most of them started screaming, and Savannah decided to vomit the most I've ever seen come out of a baby, right on Jessicca's chest! We ended up doing just fine, but it was just one of those times I wished we would have caught on tape. Good times...

I don't think I have ever seen you wear UT Orange before. That was a first! Glad you had fun.

Samantha- it's the only one I own! I thought the same thing when I saw that pic. I was like...who is that?

It was so great to spend time with you Sonya! Hopefully next year there will be a little less spit-up involved in our reunion :)
