AN= oh wow that's cool
E= oh yeah
AN= well it looks like you are getting ready to have your first baby

AN= wait a minute please explain
E= I could but it could take a few so do you have a few minutes for me to Explain everything
AN=. Yes I don't have anywhere to be for a few so please start tell me everything
E= all right so remember how years ago when we last saw each other and you asked me why am I staying in Chicago with my mom being around and causing me all kinds of trouble
AN= oh yeah I remember and back then you didn't really have a lease in this day
E= well I may not had a reason but looking back I did because if I didn't stay in Chicago I wouldn't have married my best friend over five years ago
AN= oh you are married I'm so glad
E= why thank you my husband is actually my partner that I work with
AN= well that's good
E= oh yeah
AN= so you said this isn't your first start even yours so what's up
E= well me and my husband have five wonderful kids
AN= wait five kids please show me pictures
E= oh yeah so we first had miss Camryn ( shows) she will be five years old in less than a month which is so crazy
AN= oh wow she looks just like you
E= why thank you everyone says it next step is our son Porter who it's older than camryn because Jay found him in a bad house when he was only three years old and we ended up adopting him about a year later
AN= oh how sweet that's a good thing you guys adopted him
E= yeah the next up is our sweet ember girl she just turned 3 a couple months ago
AN= wow she must be her daddy's twin I don't see any of you and Her
E= oh yeah she is his twin beside she is a daddy's girl so that worked out
AN= oh how cute
E= oh yeah so last up is our twin boys
AN= wait a minute you had twins
E= oh yeah we did they are a little over a year old their names are Jaxon and Jonah
AN= those boys are so cute and I love their names
E= why thank you so now to talk about this pregnancy do you remember my brother Teddy
AN= oh yeah I remember
E= well about six months ago he came back into town to visit and told me about how him and his future husband wanted to start a family so they asked me to be their surrogate
AN= So you decided to become their circuit and now you're pregnant with their kid
E= oh yeah but I'm actually pregnant with a boy and girl twins
AN= oh wow that's so cool I guess you have a very good reason to stay now
E= Oh yeah so what about you Annie how is Travis why are you in Chicago again and did you have anymore kids since I've seen you last
AN= okay whoa slow down Erin i'll answer them all One at a time
E= sorry my bad
AN= it's okay so first of all the reason I'm here at Chicago med is because me and the kids are moving back to Chicago and before they can go to school they have to have a check Up with a doctor to make sure they are good
E= oh really you're moving back to Chicago
AN= oh yeah it's time
E= that's amazing so you said kids do you have any kids since I saw you last
AN= so right after I saw you last I met a guy we got married and then had a little girl and now she is six years old and her name is Lindsay Nicole.
E= Wait no way you named your daughter after me for real
AN= yes I did because I wanted to name her after one of my best friends that I look up too
E= oh man I feel so honor
AN= well you should maybe here in the next month or so we should get together so we can meet each other's kids and hang out again
E= we totally should
