Our dear friends Mary and Steve welcomed their little daughter Lydia into the world on Thursday. She’s a doll and has her mother’s gorgeous red hair. Mary and I were roommates in college for two years and have been best friends ever since. Just by chance we got pregnant a month apart. It’s been so…
