My best friend, Carmen, has a daughter name Yuanyi, who is just 2 months older than Clarissa. When she called me 3 ½ years ago on the day she was pregnant, I felt very happy and at the same time a little disappointed. Happy for her because she will soon have a baby, disappointed because I had been trying for more than 1 year with no good news … Surprisingly after 2 months, I found out I was pregnant (until today we have been joking that her pregnancy is contagious). What could be better than being pregnant at the same time, where we could shared our experiences together during that 9 months. I guess nobody could understand how a pregnant woman felt better than another pregnant woman J
We were even happier when we found out that both of us will be having girls! These 2 girls, being born in the same year, has a lot of similarities in them. Both are very stubborn and don’t react well with strangers. When they were young, they both even looked alike for some reason. There was even once when her own granpa mistaken Yuanyi for Clarissa!
I remember when they were younger, they both didn’t play well with each other. Everytime when I organized for the parents to come over for dinner, both of them will be playing with themselves only. But now that they are older, both started referring the other party as their “Best Friend”.
Seeing the way they played with each other today (they came over for dinner), made me realized how much these girls have grown, and how fast time flies. Soon, I believe they will they will be talking about schools, TV shows or probably boys instead of Barbie dolls or playing cooking…. I, of course hope and pray hard the “boys” part will only come 15 years from now J
