So I didn't think I'd be having any kind of baby shower at all, since I have lived in my current home only one year and my family and dear friends are scattered across the nation.
I did join a mom's group at the beginning of my pregnancy, and am getting to know some of the women in that group pretty well. Some of them I really click with. But we get together maybe once every two weeks, and trade posts online just a bit more often. I never expected they would throw me a baby shower. They did...a surprise shower!
If anyone had asked if I wanted one, I would have said no (would have felt it was an imposition on women I don't know super well). But it was so much fun! And it seemed so genuinely heart felt. Many of them made gifts (a beautiful cake, a bouquet of baby socks, a ring sling, a taggy toy), or shared used items in good condition.
My husband was a full accomplice, and such a smooth operator, I had no clue. Just had to share the warm fuzzies I'm feeling!
