Grace Kennedy
My best friend is pregnant. We’ve been friends since the first day of the third grade when we met at the bus stop and she asked me, “Hi, little girl, are you starting kindergarten?” I am … not tall. But then again I never have been so I’m used to it. I sat next to her on the bus and even though we went to different schools (so hard to get past as a kid) we were fast friends. I went to her house after school (the biggest one on the block!) and we had milk and brownies that her dad made. It seems like a long time ago but, no fear, in a few years it’ll seem like even longer. She always wanted to be a stay at home mom after she got married she felt good about starting a family but she had a hard time getting pg. She finally did and now she’s two months pregnant! She told me if it’s a girl then they’ll name her Grace Kennedy and if it’s a boy then they may name him Mitchell, Grant, Hudson, or Hunter. She said they don’t like common names. I offered Chazz, Chase, and Tripper and she is such a sweetie that she said my suggestions were “different.” I’m really happy for her and I know I’m going to miss being with her these next few months. She’s gonna be a great mom!
