Goosebumps isn’t the word for this post. Wonderful, magical, all seemingly too small for what this post is.

I feel just as smitten with Erin myself. Something about her just mesmerizes you, doesn’t it?

You are going to do fine in the delivery room, I am sure of it. What an amazing thing to be a part of. I can’t wait to hear the good news!

There are WAY TOO MANY Sarahs up in here. What am I, like the 17th Sarah commenter? Hrmph.

I love you, and Erin, and your babies. The end.

I love your last line about how your babies already know this baby. And I also love Erin’s comment about how James & Jake have told him/her to love on you so much. How wonderful is that!

I was in with my sister when she had her baby six weeks ago & I honestly can’t wait to witness that miracle again. Of course that probably will be if/when I have a baby so that’ll be awhile! But if I follow my mom’s suggestion about having a baby now before I get married (yes you read that right. Apparently 5 grandkids isn’t enough for her), then you & your sister will have to be in the delivery room with me. I’d flip out if I had to do that myself.

You’re blessed to have so many awesome friends around you. I hope you know that. I’m sure you do.

Meh. I cried. I’m supposed to be packing. But I’m glad that I read this instead. Even if I did cry.

Sending my best as you prepare to be the only you that you know how to be: the one with the big heart.

What an amazing experience this is going to be for you, for so very many reasons. I can’t wait to hear about it from both of you AND find out what gender the baby is!

You are gorgeous, through and through. I think it will be an amazing experience for both of you. I just had a heart sister at the birth of my baby and it was wonderful, so comforting, so bonding. Love to you both, I can’t wait to see a few of the pictures!

Your strength as a mom, a woman, a friend comes from somewhere that few people have. We call it a heart, a soul or a spirit… but your strength is wider and deeper and bigger than even these because your relationships are woven with kindness and love and humor and selflessness. Even in the midst of the most difficult time, you immerse yourself in the joy, and even sometimes the pain, of others. I will never, ever forget the moment I had no-one to turn to but you… and you were there. Strong. Your angel babies know all the pain, all the strength and all the joys of you. Your presence at Erin’s delivery is more powerful than anything I can imagine. And your boys will be there. They want you there. Life pushes us in certain directions… and you make each day count for hundreds of us out here, as well as an extraordinarily special one each once-in-awhile. You are extraordinary.
