Our friends the "Gillies" stopped by to visit Claire recently. They live in Baltimore and we see them a few times a year ... usually. Their sons Will and P.J. are pictured here with Claire. I used to call them the Baby Dawgs and now they're visiting my baby. Weird.
Anyway, the former Baby Dawgs' mother Kelly is quite the jokester so I thought it would be funny to inform them that was pregnant by making plans with them once Francesca was "showing" and then nonchalantly arriving at their house to let the screaming begin. Well, we made plans with the Gillies and they had to cancel. Fine. We rescheduled and something came up. Okay, but it's getting close. I can't recall how many times we made plans with them but we had plans to see them two days before Francesca was induced and I'll bet you can guess what happened.
Once I commit to something, I stick with it so we never told them about Francesca's pregnancy and simply included them on the email announcement of Claire's arrival. The announcement didn't mention which hospital we were checked into but the Gillies tracked us down anyway. I felt kinda bad for not having told them about the good news ahead of time, but hey, it's not like I didn't try.
