I interrupt this regularly scheduled blog post for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I know I promised to let you know about stand up paddle boarding. And we did do it. And it was AMAZING, but there is something way more exciting to share.  Well, exciting to me at least.

I have been keeping some secrets for a very long time, and I am so stinkin' happy that I don't have to do it anymore. Two of my closest girlfriends are also pregnant! Well, really 3, but one is just a few days behind me, and has been public for a long time.

Yes, the two friends that I spend most of my free time with, whose families are like family to me, whose husbands are like brothers to me, who we have traveled all over the world with, who have been so amazingly supportive to me, my husband and family...are pregnant.
And we are all due within 3 months of each other.
And no, this was not a "1..2..3....everyone get pregnant because wouldn't that be soo fun".
But it turned out this way.
And it's amazing.

And today is the day the 3rd one could announce her pregnancy to the world.

And this makes for an extremely happy Kara.

This whole pregnancy thing is much more fun with buddies. And, I'm guessing, the whole parenting thing, way more fun with buddies.
