I&#8217;ve known Brook since high school and we&#8217;re great friends. I was about 4 1\/2 months preggers with my little Nathaniel when we found out Brook was preggers. Brook and I were belly buddies, we shared our first pregnancy experiences. It was cute, I was just a bit further along so I would warn her about what was ahead. Although I only had Nate kicking around in my belly, the girlies would fight and kick each other in Brook&#8217;s belly! <\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_vYcl7p1FK0M\/Sdt5vimn7_I\/AAAAAAAAABY\/r9r4XuieyMo\/s1600-h\/babynatebabygirls.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321981242317991922\" style=\"FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 166px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_vYcl7p1FK0M\/Sdt5vimn7_I\/AAAAAAAAABY\/r9r4XuieyMo\/s320\/babynatebabygirls.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We would joke that Nate was a little ladies man and that Syndey and Carynne were his girlfriends. We live in the same neighborhood and giggled that he would be the &#8220;pimp&#8221; of the neighborhood with a girl on each arm. You can see in the picture to the left that we tried to start him early, but he doesn&#8217;t look very interested in the whole situation. I&#8217;m sad that Nate is too little to remember his friends and how wonderful they were. I miss our play dates, my girlie snuggles, playing the &#8220;stinky feet&#8221; game (Syndey always thought I had the best jokes, Rynners did not find me funny that often). I&#8217;m heart broken about the loss of these beautiful little angels. When we were pregnant together I had all of these visions of Nate riding his bike down to Brook and Jake&#8217;s and asking Auntie Brook if the girls could come out and play. Them going to school, riding the bus together. Maybe even one of the girls being Nate&#8217;s first kiss. Now I feel guilty in a way that I have Nate and the girls are gone. This isn&#8217;t how this is supposed to go, these situations like with the girls are supposed to happen to people you don&#8217;t know not one of your best friends. I was so excited that our children were so close in age, but now it&#8217;s this double edged sword where Nate does something and I wonder about the girls doing the same thing&#8230;.what they would be doing now. I don&#8217;t want Nate to make Brook and Jake sad, but I don&#8217;t think that is something I can control.  I love you Brook and Jake. I love you forever sweet little girlies!<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Below is the last picture of I have of Nate and girls together. Taken Christmas 08, baby Santas.
