Welcoming Baby Girl #2

Mothers & Daughters

“It’s a special bond that spans the years. Through laughter, worry, smiles, and tears. A sense of trust that can’t be broken, a depth of love sometimes unspoken. A life long friendship built on sharing, hugs and kisses, warmth and caring. Mother and Daughters, their hearts as one. A link that can never be undone.” ~Unknown

Be Brave Little One

Baby Showers/Sprinkles used to be very hard for me when I was going through my losses/miscarriages. I had to realize it was not the “Mother to Be’s” fault I could not get pregnant. So, I would go, put my smile on, and try to work through my feelings.

Just kidding, did not drink them away. I really did try to work through them.

Now, after my daughter was born, baby showers are one of my favorite things to do. I love giving presents in general, but baby shower gifts are at a whole different level. I get very excited making them thoughtful for the baby and mom. Having my own child, I now know what worked and didn’t, what was important vs fluff that was not used. I love seeing the mom’s facial expression when opening the presents I carefully selected for them. The excitement grows even more when it is a girl because it brings me back to the moments I have shared with my daughter, and how special it has been.

When asked to go to a friend’s baby sprinkle, I was so excited. I was thinking what would be a great gift for her and the baby. I also have not taken pictures in awhile, and have been itching to get behind the camera again. Sprinkled through (get it, baby sprinkle, never-mind) are pictures I took while I was there. The hostesses of the party did a fantastic job with the decorations, and food. It makes taking picture much easier. I hope you enjoy the photographs.

BTW, if you are struggling with difficulty getting pregnant or losses, please still support your friends, go to their showers. . Also, if you are pregnant and are not having difficulties but have friends that are, understand they are happy for you, but working through things. Thank you for the invite! You are a great friend! Can’t wait to meet her.

Thank you for the invite, and I enjoy our friendship! Congrats on this baby girl!
