I've been overwhelmed these past two weeks with all the love in the form of emails, texts, cards, books and keepsakes for our little one on the way...all have warmed our heart and each warrented a tiny tummy pat from me just to remind this nugget that he/she is really loved. As I think down the road over the next year or so, I feel so fortunate to have a community of friends who are like family here. (We wont have the luxury of calling my parents or in-laws for a child-free errands run or desperately needed on the fly date night.) Ones that will be supportive of the tiny milestones our baby will hit, cheersing with us along the way. And ones that will unbegrudgingly make 9am the new hit brunch time on a Sunday morning or accept without question a 5pm weeknight dinner. Because that is coming people;) A big thank you to all those that have reached out to make that feeling so apparent to us these past few weeks...it is a priceless comfort to know this little guy or gal has so many anxioulsy awaiting their arrival.
Before we got pregnant, I was obsessed with my friends babies (and still am.) I'm fascinated by their changes and developments and how these little human aliens (because they do look like that at first!) turn into these walking, talking, total hams who are mini slices of their parents. I just can't get enough. The differences, the similarities, the way one makes an expression and you think "oh my is THAT your mother!" The mini booties, the soft cuddly bears, and ruffle butt bloomers make the whole baby gear world that much more fun (and edibly cute.)

People do LOVE babies. It's funny once you become pregnant, and then have a baby how much your life changes in so many ways--but one that I didn't realize was when we go out somewhere-- NO ONE looks at mommy (except for when mommy is 34 weeks pregnant with a whiny toddler at giant eagle--I get the glares) anymore. They all gush over the baby--the cuteness--asking every personal question they would never ask you yourself. It's actually pretty amazing, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks for your comments, Kendall! You are one of the mommies I look up to and hope to mirror once our little one joins the crew:). I really had no clue that announcing a pregnancy would cause such hoopla! Haha, totally OK w the baby gush, hopefully we can score some babysitters out of the process...we are going to need them! xx
