Kim and I have been good friends since we were nine, and would have been friends since the day we met, at age four, if it weren’t for our “evil” neighbor who shall remain nameless.

Last month Kim delivered a beautiful healthy baby girl who she and her husband named “Ruby Jeanne.” I am absolutely ecstatic for my dear friend who is as amazing a mother as she has always been a friend.

Thought I would post some pictures of Kim’s baby shower and a few of my first day meeting dear Ruby.

On the day of the shower we did some “pendulum testing” to see whether she was going to have a girl or a boy. I was the only one who was absolutely certain she was having a girl. I love when I’m right.

Is it A Girl or A Boy?

Kim's Turn to See What Tana is Having
The kids and I went over to visit with Kim and Ruby and it my heart swelled as they looked at her beauty and frailty in awe.  She was a mere five days old, but seemed so alert and healthy.  Kim is truly one of the most beautiful and glowing mothers I have ever seen.  Here is Kim’s little jewel.
