pay it forward

day 142:


i have had plenty of friends get pregnant.


but i never thought to buy one of them a gift, or send a card to say congratulations.


i always just said congrats and left it at that. if i was invited to a shower then i brought a gift.

but now that i am pregnant, i am realizing how nice it is to give a little gift or a card. of course it's not expected, but it is something that makes you feel special.


i have some mom (and dad) friends who know this, and in turn have made me feel special.


thanks to the switz for sending me a gift at work and making my day.


thanks to caroline for sending me a gift all the way from utah. i miss you!


thanks to pete, meg, paul and jess for giving us a gift when we came to visit.
