It’s crazy to think back to when I first met Abbey and our late nights in college dreaming about our weddings and marrying our long-time boyfriends! Shortly after graduating from Pitt, Abbey got married, and a year later, Mike and I tied the knot. Then the conversations shifted to excitement for the days we would go shopping together with our kids in strollers and how our kids will (obviously) be best friends! Life sure does fly by…in April, Abbey and Conlan found out they were expecting, and yet again, our conversations changed. But this time it was about the realities of being pregnant and how exciting it will be to finally meet their baby! In July, they found out they would be blessed with a baby girl and named her Addison Grace. Last Thursday, they welcomed their precious child into the world! I got the call Thursday morning and headed up to the hospital. After hours of sitting in the waiting room, baby Addison was born at 8 pounds, 9 ounces and 23 inches LONG! I can’t describe the emotion and excitement I felt when I saw my friend holding her newborn baby, and it instantly reminded me of the sweet memories and long talks we had about when this day would actually come!

Abbey and Conlan, you two are going to make amazing parents! We love you both so very much!
