They had two girls 12 months and 2 weeks apart after trying forever. We became family by default, built in babysitters, and substitute parents as needed. We have no kids, but yet I've walked the floors at their house all night bouncing a crying baby, been projectile vomited on, given baths, changed my shoe fettish to shoes way too small for my feet, and I'm the designated person in charge of sucking snot out with that bulb thing....because I'm the only one who can make them laugh while I'm doing it.

We love the mom's family and her mom says I'm her 2nd daughter, and her brother, his wife and their kids all expect us there at Christmas and visit with us all the time.

We have keys to each other's houses and will go get needed food items out of each other's fridge to keep from going back to the store.

It's so bad that she had to try and explain to the girls (soon to be ages 4 & 5) that not all kids have a Jenny & Scott. They thought everyone had one of us in their family....mommy, daddy, grandma, granddad, aunt, uncle, cousin, Jenny, Scott. LOL

And I have been there is the middle of the night, but only by request during a couple emergencies.

We go back and forth in our staple evening wardrobe of pjs so often that we're pretty sure the other neighbor's think we must be swingers. 😳
