Baby Boom

This afternoon I attended a baby shower.  The fourth one within a six week span.  There’s been a baby boom around here!  I didn’t want to go, my attitude was a little grumpy about it.  It was raining, I didn’t think there would be anyone there I knew.  I thought of all types of excuses, but being good friends with the paternal grandma I got up and went.  What I really wanted  was to curl up on the couch!  When I arrived in the parking lot, there was an old friend, and there were more friends inside.  I enjoyed some delicious food.  Most importantly I was reminded of the joy and delight and excitement of first time parents and grandparents.  There is one lucky little girl who is going to be born into a family that will love her unconditionally forever.  I’m glad I  joined in the enthusiasm!

I'm sure your friend appreciated you attending the shower. The bonus is you had a good time.

You were right where you needed to be at the right time. I bet it was great to be with good friends.

I usually complain when I have to get off the couch and go somewhere, especially on the weekend. But I'm always glad I did it once I get there. It's the first steps that are hardest.

This is a wonderfully sweet post of how family joy over an upcoming event can change a mood in an instant. I am really in love with good shower food. xo
