While writing this post, I became curious about the origin of the phrase “there’s something in the water.” While there is a frustrating lack of clarity on when and how this phrase came about, there’s widespread agreement that it means something along the lines of “There are so many cases of something; there are so many people or things doing a particular thing or having a certain trait, that it must come from a common source.”
Whether it’s really the water or not, there is something going on at OE. We have three women, Jacque, Tori and Alicia, getting ready to have babies. It’s not that unusual to have women pregnant in the office at the same time, but three of them, with their due dates back to back to back, seemed pretty noteworthy.
We thought it would be fun to share our excitement (and theirs, of course) since these three lovely ladies are close to meeting their sweet bundles of joy for the first time. All of us at OE have been blessed to watch their journey unfold these past 8 months, or so, and we’re so proud of these incredible women, moms, and mom-to-be. Congrats, ladies!

UPDATE #1!
Before we could even publish this post, Jacque gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Dani Nichole.
Dani weighed in at exactly 8 pounds. Jacque and baby are both doing great. In fact, the day before she went into labor, Jacque made everyone at OE cookies, glazed pecans, and chocolate covered strawberries! What a trooper! Congratulations to Jacque and family! Dani is beautiful!
