Mom and Dad made it in to town on Thursday and we have really been enjoying their visit!! On Friday they were able to come to my 36 week appointment with me and hear their grandchild's heart beat for the first time. While I wish I could focus on being a great hostess... I have really enjoyed the extra help (and spoiling!) And of course.... the LaZBoy!!! Yay.
Friday evening my friend Marcia threw a baby shower for me here in Midland. There were only about eight of us, but it was great. It was just so nice to sit around and have some mommy chat. We talked about all kinds of things that would otherwise be kind of inappropriate to talk about relating to birth and nursing. And everyone was so thoughtful and generous!
After my shower, I realized how truly blessed I am. While we hate being so far from family and Midland isn't the town we want to settle in for twenty years... it is where we are now. Both of my baby showers were absolutely wonderful and so heartwarming, but my Midland shower made me realize that at the end of the day... its the group of women here in Midland that are with me in the day to day. They were the women who were with me while going through IVF. {Of course my mom, mother-in-law, and Caroline were equally great supporters from afar, too. And I know we had a lot of support and prayers from so many others as well.} I just saw at my shower here in Midland, a group of women that I am so blessed to call my friends. And even baby Sadie (four weeks old!) was there... which will likely be my baby's first (same aged) playmate. So to my friends in Midland... Thank you for being in my life.
I'm sure I'll have a Mother's Day post coming soon... but let me say today to all the mothers... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! <3
