Meeting Baby Poole

After months of anticipation Amy and Jeff welcomed their baby boy Ezra into the world early last week! I won't steal their thunder by giving away any specifics, but all anyone really needs to know is that he is perfect. I've been really excited for his arrival. I've spent many days with Amy talking about him, wondering about him, anticipating his birth, not to mention eating lots of sweet treats because he obviously wanted them (ha!).

When I first found out Amy was pregnant I cried. Not because I was sad (obviously) but I was just so overcome with so many happy emotions! I don't think words can describe how happy I was for her and Jeff. I was even happier when I found out that they would be moving back to Indiana and that they would be living here when Ezra was due. I've never had someone as close to me as Amy is have a baby, so it was almost something entirely new to me. We had candid conversations all about baby and I was always happy to talk about him! I wanted to meet him! Finally little Ezra finally came and getting the first picture of the tiny human my best friend had been growing inside her belly made me want to jump up and down!

Meeting Ezra for the first time was so amazing. Seeing Amy hold him and talk to him is the cutest thing. Seeing her hold that tiny baby made me so happy for her and feel so much love for their whole family. I was thrilled to hold Ezra and meet him. He has the cutest cheeks and and pretty much has made napping his hobby. I know Amy will be an amazing mother and that Jeff will be a great father. They are two of the best people I know and I know their son will follow in their footsteps!

I can't believe my best friend is a mother now! Just a few years ago we were awkward high school girls trying to fit in with the "cool" kids, passing "secret" journals back and forth and running around with questionable boys. Now we're all grown up, her more than me, with a husband and child, and I couldn't be happier for her!
