More babies

Yesterday I attended a baby shower for my good friend Melissa. She's due in three weeks.
Throughout the last five years, Dan and I have pretty much done things at the same pace as Melissa and her husband, Rob.
We bought a house just a few months before they did. We got married just a year later than they did. And now we're having a baby...about 20 weeks after they do.
It's been really nice throughout this pregnancy to be able to compare notes. If I'm curious about what is supposed to happen at the different stages, I ask Melissa (or my friend Jackie who had her son Zach about three months ago). Or if I just want to talk about being pregnant (which let's be honest, happens a lot) there's always someone there.
A few days ago, another couple that we know announced they too are pregnant. It didn't take Dan long to figure out that our child will be in the same class at the same school as Rob and Melissa's and Jordan and Natalie's. In a bigger town (well, for South Dakota anyway) that's not always a given. You would have thought he won the lottery.
