It's that happy, euphoric, yet still completely crazed and hormonal feeling right before having a baby. I have so much to be thankful for right now. I have a wonderful group of playgroup moms that I get to see every week - 6 out of 7 of us have had a baby or are about to in a 6 month span and our firsts range 6 months apart as well!. Because of this we haven't really done baby showers or birthday parties for the kids. It would be too much for all of us.

Imagine my surprise when they came over bearing cake and treats and an Ergo Carrier for me (they've heard me talk about how badly I want one weekly!). I started crying. I was so blown away by their generosity and thoughtfulness. They said they did it just for me because I host playgroup every week, but I feel so lucky that they're willing to come over to my house, rather than me having to drive somewhere!  I absolutely loved it. And I can't stop thinking about what wonderful friends I have.

I have great friends, close family and a little boy who's cuter than words right now. Just the other day I asked Little Boy what it will be like when Little Sister is born. He looked at me like I should not be confused, then he grabbed both my cheeks in his hands and got his face close to mine and said "It's gonna be great, mama!". He looked REALLY concerned that I didn't know this already.

Too many blessings to name right now and a baby that should come in the next 3 weeks. This is my warning that soon I'll be entrenched in newbabydom. I'm sure I'll be MIA, so I'm trying to to get as many things on this site for spring as I can right now.  Enjoy, and I'll try to keep you posted on this baby.
