playdate with madison...

today, we went to the lineberger's house for a playdate!! heather and jeremiah bishop were there too! it was so much fun to have some adult conversation and watch the "big kids: jeremiah, kelly and jesiah" play together!! in between sleeping and nursing we were able to get a few pictures of jaelyn and madison together. my pics didn't turn out too good. i think autumn got some better shots. hopefully, i can get a hold of hers. below the pics of our baby girls is a little story of how they first met!!!!

here are two pictures of madison and jaelyn together for their first playdate...





their sweet story:

madison and jaelyn met on their birthdays five weeks ago! they were born on the same day, at the same hospital, delivered by the same midwife just a few hours apart. after being admitted to the hospital, i learned from my nurse that there was another mommy two doors down that was delivering her third and going natural too. we also found out that she was going to be delivered by our midwife. immediately, i thought of my friend, autumn. i told jamil i think i know who it is. our nurse couldn't directly confirm that it was her, because of the privacy act. but she was able to tell autumn it was me two doors down. once we figured out we were both in labor together, we visited and walked the halls together while we were in labor. madison grace was born mid morning and jaelyn aliyah arrived that evening! the next day, we were able to hang out together in the hospital. and the girls met for the first time!!! it was so much fun to have the lineberger's share in our special day and us share in theirs.

when i found out i was pregnant and told autumn, we planned for her to be our baby nurse at the cmc nursery, where she works. a short time later, we found out autumn was pregnant too. our due dates were just a few days apart. we figured she wouldn't be working by the time i went into labor. i was sad. but it turned out so wonderful that we were in labor on the same day!!!
who would have thought we would be there together delivering our sweet baby girls!! madison was three weeks early and jaelyn was two weeks early.

our baby girls have a lot of similarities at five weeks old! they share the same disposition, very sweet natured. both are very quiet and do not cry often. both girls are sleeping really good at night. and neither will take a pacifier!!! too cute!!!

what a blessing for our girls to grow up together being special friends!! God has already blessed jaelyn with a little friend and brought our families together in a special way.


i didn't plan on posting this picture ever, because i do not look as cute as autumn! but it is fitting for the story! this was when we were in labor and about to go out and walk the hallways!!!




here are the proud daddy's, greg and jamil, holding the girls!!!
