Well it really seems like it’s the season for birth announcements at the moment.

My best friend from my teenage years, who now, incidentally is married and lives in Seattle, WA, has just had her first baby the day before yesterday. My friend is just 5 days younger than me, and she is one of those friends who, no matter how far apart we are, or how much time has passed, we’re able to pick up right where we left off and chat like crazy school girls.

She married quite a while before me, but they moved up country for awhile and get this – they were due to leave for the US on a work permit just a day after 9/11 happened – needless to say they sat captivated watching things unfold, and only left a few weeks later once some sense of normality (will things ever be really normal after that, I doubt it) had returned.  They actually did live in New York for a number of years, before moving out to Seattle where they are now based.

It’s so interesting to me to see her daughter. She looks so much like her mom, and when a close friend of yours has a kid, you can’t help but speculate if the child will follow in her mothers looks/shoes etc  It will be fascinating to watch, even from so far away.

It’s a real pity that I either don’t live closer so that I could do her newborn photos for her, or that I haven’t won the lottery so that I can simply fly over and do a newborn shoot for her!

Anyhoo I’m just sharing!
