We are overwhelmed with the gifts we have received for Peanut. Joe’s parents threw us a shower in NY this weekend, and packages arrived today from my aunts and cousins, who took up a collection at the baby shower they threw for another cousin and bought and shipped stuff to us. It was all so incredibly thoughtful and sweet and we now feel like we now have most of the basics covered.
And so, yet another reason to be feeling both grateful and relieved today. Grateful that we have so many family and friends who are so kind to us. And relieved that everything is in place for Peanut’s arrival. Well, okay, right now we have stacks of boxes, but in the next couple weeks we’ll put stuff together, install car seats, etc. I walk into the living room and look at everything that is there and am overwhelmed with how generous everyone has been and also so excited to picture Peanut using each of these things. In the constantly swinging pendulum between wanting time to speed up and May to be here and wanting time to slow down because I’m terrified of May, I am definitely in the midst of a wanting it to be May swing.
