I’m not trying to brag, but I had just typed a freaking beautiful post in congratulations to the awesome news of Christina’s pregnancy, only to have everything erased and that stupid red comment, “your post my have a body.” (okay- saying “freaking beautiful isn’t that poetic, but trust me okay!?) I wanted to launch the stupid laptop across the room!

Okay, so I really want to post about what I had said before, but things are NEVER good the second time- we know this from almost every movie sequel.

Where to start?

I was so shocked when I read Christina’s blog today! It’s so weird, but I got out of control excited! I have to believe I wasn’t the only one that did this. It was just such an amazing feeling. IT’s like I didn’t even know what to think. One of our Nestie Friends is having a baby!!

How great is that!?

Most people, people that don’t do what we do (blog), would think I’m crazy for getting excited about Christina’s pregnancy, but I am thrilled! It’s like she has made us part of the entire process-

Okay, she hasn’t made us a part of the entire process, that was Bruce’s doing. I think you know what I mean though.

I feel like we’ve been there for so much in her life! We’ve been there so much for so many things in ALL of our lives! You girls are amazing. It feels so wonderful to have a group of girls that I consider friends to come and talkto. We are truly a Nest Community.

So maybe you’re not my friend up the street that I phone everyday, but still, I feel like I have a great group of ladies that I “know.” They may live half way around the world and I may not be able to pick them out of a crowd, but yet I know you guys, and I think you could say the same for me.

You ladies have been here for me through so many big things in my life. Moving to Kuwait was the biggest and scariest thing I’ve ever done- and you guys were with me. You were my encouragement when I needed to vent about living with my parents. You were there for me this summer when it looked like I may NEVER get a job, and you were there for me when you when I finally got the job and was able to move out. You were my cheerleaders through it all. It felt so good knowing I had wonderful internet friends from all over the United STates cheering me on in all the many huge steps I’ve faced this past year. I hope you guys have felt the same way- some crazy girl in Kuwait is always there for you guys too! too laugh and get excited on the good days, and to be an encouragement during the times of disappointment. I really have met ladies here I would call a friend.

am I crazy? Maybe, but maybe not. Will thinks it’s sort of weird when I talk about “my friend from....” but I don’t think it’s weird at all. If it wasn’t for the nest I would have never “met” many of you, but because of this site I have met some of the most beautiful women and get to hear about their lives and share mine. How great is that!? To know that we have a support group from all walks of life. That is so amazing.

We need to have a Nest Convention or something!!

So as I read Christina’s blog today I got excited. We get to “be there” every step of the way in one of our friends lives. How wonderful is that!? I only wish we could throw you a shower!

You are the first of the nest friends to get pregnant- so you have an obligation to share all the details- stretch marks, constipation and all! Okay, totally kidding, but I do look forward to hearing about the many changes and miracles you are experiencing as you endure these exciting changes.

I know I’m being a little sappy, but as I said before you guys are the greatest and have gotten me through a major change in my life. I am so glad we have the nest and are able to share our lives here.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I am so glad I was able to get on today and didn’t have to wait another day for this big news! I only wish you guys were on tomorrow as I head to work. Oh well, I have a lot of catching up to do! No one else better be pregnant today- and if you are wait to post about it until tomorrow.

ha ha, totally kidding (sort of)!

Well I was just going to get on today to post a, “what I’ve been doing on my weekend“ only to get a major shock! Don’t worry- you didn’t miss much. Our weekend was boring.

Thanks for always being there.

Christina congratulations, I know we are all so thrilled for you and can’t wait to hear all your wonderful moments.

Any friend of the nest is a friend of mine,
