TWO babies are coming into our family in September.
Karen and Tyler are due on September 2nd!
McKay and McKenna are due September 15th
Tyler called me about 2 months ago with this very HAPPY news. While I was talking to him I noticed that McKay was trying to call me, too. I thought, 'I'll call McKay back later.' When I hung up from the phone I was in a daze of "my baby is having a baby!" and forgot all about calling McKay back!
So the next morning McKay calls again and said he tried to call me the night before. Oh no, So sorry McKay, I forgot all about you. I rarely forget my sons, but after hearing Tyler's news I totally spaced out on anything else for several hours.
So I began: "So sorry McKay...so what's up?" He said, "We have something to tell you." Didn't I just hear those same words the night before from his brother? My heart jumped, literally, as in take-my-breath-away. Could it be the McKs are having a baby too??
Then he said, "We just wanted to tell you Karen and Tyler are having a baby."
Then he laughs.
"Very funny McKay, I already know that."
Then I thought, well their time will come. Let's just be happy about one baby at a time. Then he said, "We are having a baby, too." "REALLY? SERIOUSLY?"
I felt like I was in the middle of a dream.
2 grandchildren due just 2 weeks apart!
Karen and McKenna will both be WONDERFUL mothers.
No doubt.
I am so so thankful for them.
Something tells me these babies are going to be best friends...just like their fathers.
P.S. And no, my boys calling me with the news at the very exact time, was not planned by them.
Just a coincidence.
But a sweet one I will always remember.
You can read about Karen's announcement on her blog.

So So Exciting! Between Carly, Julie, Erin, McKenna and Karen, this will be a bumper year for the great-grandchildren count! Congratulations to you as 3 of those will belong to you. Love, Dad and Susan
I thought that announcement meant that another of your sons was having twins! Then I saw my error.
Congradulations, Grandma Honey!
What WONDERFUL news!!
And Karen's mummy joke is darling.
=)
I am so very excited for all of you (and me too!). Karen and McKenna both looked great when I saw them last weekend, even though they have both been so sick! They are such darling girls. And how exciting to get grand babies born to best friends/brothers and best friends/sisters-in-law within a couple of weeks of each other! What a blessing. They will all have such fun together!
SO EXCITING!!!!!!! What a wonderful phase of life!!! LOVE that they are expecting together!!! My sisters and brothers and I did that too. When one of us got pregnant 3 more pregnancies followed. Every two years, for about 8 yrs, 4 children were born into the family. Anyway, Congrats to you all!!!! So happy for you!!!
We are so thrilled for Mc's and Tyler and Karen. So fun that the Mc's baby will have cousins close in age on both sides of the family too! :-) Just like you, I know Kenna and Karen will be amazing moms!!!
This is THE BEST news!!!! I am so happy for everyone! I think we need to make a trip to Provo!

But also, um, who gave McKay and Tyler permission to become DADS??? Weren't we just playing hide and seek in the cul-de-sac just yesterday??
Time flies!
That's wonderful! So fun to have them so close together.
PS Please don't name them Jimmer if they happen to be boys. LOL
WOW! "almost" as exciting as twins!!! How fun for these little cousins, they will be very good friends, I can already tell!!! Wonder which one will arrive first??
My sister and I were both Pregnant at the same time this last time! It was so much fun to compare and go through the same things together! Ours ended up being 4 days apart but we were due a week apart! Congrats to everyone!
This is so fun and exciting!!! I can't wait to be an aunt. And I think it is so cool that Karen's baby will practically have a twin! And all in September too. Only the best month ever. ;) (We have a few September bdays in our family.) Karen and McKenna will be awesome Moms. And Tyler and McKay will be awesome Dads. What lucky babies!!!
