In other news, I'm a glutton for punishment, and have offered to throw the hub's friend + pg wife a baby shower. I had sworn I would not do it, that another friend of ours/theirs could do it, but she's being a total slacker and I am going to just suck it up. My hubs talked to his friend the other night and there have been a lot of problems along the way and the baby is going to have to have surgery within days of being born. It shouldn't be a survival issue, but I don't think any parent wants to see their newborn go in for surgery. We also found out that this couple m/c last summer and almost lost this baby, too. I feel like they deserve some sort of "normalcy" and the only way I can help is to put on a happy face and throw them the best couple shower in town!
And there's still more: I bought a pleater. For smocking. A friend at church was selling hers, so I bought it. It's in great condition and I even found a lady here in town who is an extremely talented sewer who can walk me through each step and even help me with some of my basic sewing techniques. So excited!!!
