So as I posted about 9 months ago, my two best friends WERE pregnant! But as of today, they are both proud mother's of the most handsome, delicious, beautiful baby boys! I believe I am the happiest aunt ever! It's not everyday I can say that ;)
Kelli Crockett Lindahl was due March 8, 2011. However, little baby Ace was too comfortable and decided to be fashionably late to enter the world. So come Tuesday the 8th, when no baby arrived, Kell remained calm and realized he would come when he's ready. Little did she know he was definitely too comfortable in there and a whole week and a day would pass before any action would occur. Eventually, March 16th rolled around and Kell gave birth (and a silent one at that) to the cutest little man, Ace Robert Lindahl! He was born at 9:44pm that night at 7 pounds, and 13 oz. I received a text around 2am with the amazing news! I was too excited to sleep! I called her the next morning to congratulate her and luckily, talked to her on the phone for a bit. It was so great to talk to her and hear baby Ace for the first time. I definitely got a little sentimental because this is my best friend to have her first baby! It's as if it were one of my own! I went to visit a couple days after the birth and OH MY GOSH. I fell in love. Baby Ace was super tiny and sooooooo squishy and cute! He had that new born baby smell and I couldn't resist my infatuation for him. I've grown a tad bit obsessed and fortunately took about a thousand pictures of him. Here are just a few.

Ace is such a cutie pa-tootie and I couldn't be more happier to have him in my life. Thank you Kell and Kirk for your beautiful miracle! So blessed to have you guys as friends :)
Next Up,
Aly Bingham Salvesen! Aly's due date is April 4, 2011. However, little baby Salvesen decided to do opposite of his best friend Ace and make his grand debut TODAY, March 31, 2011!!! He was born at 7:55am this morning, weighing in at about 8 pounds and 1 oz. (Aly I don't know how you pushed that out haha) Aly's intuition told her that this baby would come early. She was prepared and definitely ready to get this baby out. Having known Aly for 12 years now, I know she doesn't handle pain well. Therefore, she already knew an epidural was going to be needed and much much screaming would occur. Yesterday, her water broke and by 9pm she was in the hospital with minor contractions. We were texting for a bit and talking about how bad her contractions were. I told her "ouch" and she'll definitely feel better after that epidural. About an hour later, she said the epidural was in and feeling a little better. She was only dilated at 5cm so I knew it would be a while till the baby came. Therefore, I went to sleep! I wanted to stay up but now knowing the baby didn't come till this morning, I'm happy I didn't lol I woke up at 6am this morning and texted her right away asking about the progress. In reality, I really told her to keep the baby in cause I was going to the gym and wouldn't be around my phone for a couple hours haha Sorry Al, I was a little self-ish. But I was too excited to miss it! Little did I know she had already started pushing by 6:30am and by 7:55am, little baby Salvesen was born!!! I called her at about 930am on my way to work and reached her voicemail. I left a long and of course entertaining message for her. Luckily for me, she immediately called back and I spoke with her for a while!! She sounded amazing!! Of course I asked every about every little detail during the actual labor haha But it was so great to talk with her!! Aly is like family to me. She is my sister, best friend, and a part of me! Just like Kell, I feel as if her baby is one of my own. Unfortunately, Aly lives in stinky Utah! So I won't see her for a couple months. Which really saddens me because missing out on something as big as this hits close to my heart. Since we were kids, we always talked about having kids together and being there for each other. I just wish I could have been there for her. But, I am in spirit!! And I hope she know's that! I don't have any pictures yet but as soon as I do, you know I'll be posting them all over the place. Here's just 1 I took off my phone from Aly's facebook. He's so adorable and I just want to snuggle and kiss him!! I can't wait to see him in a couple months!

My best friends mean the world to me. And now that they both have their own families, I couldn't be happier for them. (or to be a part of their families too ;) ) I'm so blessed for these two wonderful babies and I will be the best aunt I can be for them. And hopefully one day, I will be having one of my own and they will be on their 2nd/3rd and we can all be preggers together!! Just like we always planned!
LOVE you Aly, Kelli, Ace, and Baby Salvesen!!!!!!! (I forgot to mention he doesn't have a name yet! SOON though!)
