SURPRISE!!!

MY LIFELONG BEST FRIEND, ASHLEY, IS PREGNANT!!! For the past two weeks I have been about to bust to share this exciting news, and it has been probably the HARDEST secret I have ever had to keep. Ashley went to the Doctor yesterday and got to see her precious bundle of joy for the first time!!! Its little heartbeat was strong at 152bpm. She is 9 weeks tomorrow, and is doing great. Her due date is February 27. She has been extremely tired, but has not had any morning sickness at all! Praise the Lord! She and James are both glowing with excitement, and I know they will be the BEST parents!
Mine and Ashley's friendship is truly one of God's many gifts. We have been best friends all our life, and our kind of friendship only comes once in a lifetime. It all began with our parents! They were best friends, and did everything together! I am six months older than Ashley, but we were in the same grade. Our parents have pictures of me sitting in her highchair before she was even born!!! We dressed alike until we were in fifth grade, our moms could not tell our voices apart, and we traveled everywhere together! 26 1/2 years later, and we are still best friends! We have ALWAYS said we wanted to have babies together! God is so good! Our babies will be 4 and a half months apart, and we can't wait to raise them together!
Please keep Ashley, James and Baby Durham in your prayers. We are so thankful for their precious miracle from our King. Levale, Campbell, and I look forward to many memories with all 3 of you! We love you all!
