Sooo I'm a FTM and none of my good, close girlfriends have had kids yet. I have quite a few friends from way back/acquaintances/etc who have had babies but nobody I consider one of my good friends who I can pick up the phone and call, vent, ask questions, share excitement and worries.
I've honestly felt lonely since getting pregnant. Excited a lot of of the time but really lonely too, with no good friends who are also at this point in their lives to share this with. Until last night...
My best friend since I was eight years old, maid of honor, BFF, you get the point, called and I heard what I've been dying to hear: she's pregnant and due less than 4 weeks after me!!!! I am so happy for her and her husband and so excited to finally share this journey with someone other than all you lovely internet strangers. Don't get me wrong-I love coming to this board and think you're all wonderful but I am just so excited to share this time with my best friend I can't contain my excitement!!!!!! Best Christmas gift ever!!!!!!
Anyone else pregnant at the same time as someone you're close to and sharing this together??
Re: Best friend shared the best news!

#2 Rainbow Baby EDD June 24, 2015!!!
His mom and I are buddies as a result of being pregnant and having newborns together the first time, plus we just like each other. (Our dh's used to work together)
She is due 5w ahead of me this time. We couldn't have planned it any better! Oh, and we're both having boys.
We're not in the same town anymore, but it'll still be fun.
My good friend from work's wife is also due the month before me - we always joke that we have completely parallel lives (both had a big fat greek wedding [she and I are both Greek], both spouses are teachers, we got married on back to back weekends, and now our kids are going to be a month apart!)
Edit to add:
An acquaintance, one of my very good friends friend, whom I see quite often is also pregnant and 2 weeks ahead of me. Her first child was born the day before my first. So we are kind of on the same pregnancy wave length.
I have two good friends due in May and 2 great friends due in July!
There will be 7 new babies:)
Our husbands have also been bestfriends since they were 6, so the 4 of us are super excited to be first-time parents together!
