Friendships and Pregnancy

Let's keep it real (as I always do!), friendships do change over the course of your life.  And boy do I know this!  From leaving high school, to going to and graduating from college and grad school, friends have come and go.  I have been through it.  Some hurt more than others.  Getting married can change friendships and egad, getting pregnant can change your relationships.  I knew this and was somewhat prepared for it this go 'round.  It's still surprising nonetheless.

It doesn't have to be like that all the time.  Life changes don't have to spell the end of relationships you value.  My best friend Iman and I have known each other forever and experienced many life changes together.  And she's still here!  I'm soooo thankful for her friendship.  Love her! 

A friendship that both Johnny and I are blessed to share is our friendship with Kenny! We (really Johnny) worried about telling him, for fear that he'd drop us like it was hot and keep it moving.  Quite the contrary!  According to Kenny, this baby is all of ours and we are in this together!  From day one he has embraced the idea of us being pregnant and has been a huge fan of Ray Ray.  He even came up with the name Ray Ray!  And we finally asked him tonight would he serve as Ray Ray's godfather and he jumped at the chance!  I can't think of a better person to help us guide Ray Ray's development.  He's going to be an awesome godfather.  Love you too, Kenny!

Luckily, most friendships — especially the strong ones — can endure even the most trying of life changes.
