Erin's baby

[abka]

Erin, my friend from highschool, just had her first baby. She is the first of the six of us. (Since my other friends are keeping track: she was the first to get married, followed shortly by me, and just recently by Tim. She is the only one to have bought property.) I heard a few days ago from a friend whose mother works with Erin's mother (small town.) The comment from another in the group was "guess we have a lot of catching up to do," but I don't think really think that's the case.

Erin sent out a picture today. The baby is very sweet. I can't believe Erin has a baby. Erin who I met in Little Lamb nursery school, whose mother we had for stretch (advanced placement classes) in elementary school, who was a good friend all the way through highschool. We drifted apart at college, Erin's the one who went to a very christian school, (she now teaches math at a small christian highschool in PA), but we still keep in touch. I'm just amazed at the reality of her having a baby.

I know the feeling! An ond buddy of mine had a baby a few months back and it felt the same way. (Actually, he was also the first of our group to get married and the first to own property...) Then there was my 19-year-old cousin last week.

It's weirder the further back you know the person. When college friends have kids it's less weird because you didn't know them when they were kids themselves.
