Another sappy one

Today’s Little Gift of Kindness calendar prompt reads “If you know someone who is pregnant, take today to let them know you are thinking of them.”

I have a very special friend right now who is expecting in April, and I could not be happier or more excited for her and her husband. We just spent a lot of time with them, and I just got that wonderful feeling that their child is going to have such a loving home and such wonderful, caring parents. Friend, I AM thinking of you. Every day. Seeing you glowing and beautiful, and the way your husband cares for you and talks of your future child filled me with so much joy. Love you, friend.

And I have a lot of other blogger friends who are expecting and a few who are trying to get pregnant! I feel the same way for you, friends! (And for my friends who have had children in the last year – Eric, Nilsa, Shannon, Adam – thank you so much for sharing your newborn adventures with us!).

Is anyone special in your life “expecting” right now?

And I have to share this funny pic I snapped of Data yesterday, even though it has nothing to do with this post:

    I know a few people expecting but none of them live close by. It really makes you realize how “grown up” you are when all your friends are getting married and having babies.
    Oh, Data! Looking ferocious. 😉

    Some very good friends just had a baby last week – I am hoping to get over there sometime this week to meet him. I adore pregnancy and newborns…such an exciting time in someone’s life…

    One of my closest friends is expecting her second son in July! Can’t believe she is on her second already…I can’t even imagine having one in my life right now!

          I totally know where that is. My grandparents live in Guttenberg (near by) and we go there a lot in the summer!

    Thanks, Kim! I feel like I’m in the middle of a baby whirlwind … lots of friends with newborns or who are expecting little ones in the coming months. It’s exciting and amazing and wonderful to see so many happy people!

    Aw, sappy is sweet! I don’t think I know anyone who is pregnant right now. One of my friends from h.s. just had a baby last month and I went to visit her a few days ago. Newborns are sweet. They just sleep a lot but look so lovely!
    Great shot of Data!!

    Yes! I know about 3 blog friends, one I’m especially close to, who are expecting. Nobody in real life, though.

    Great Data picture! I don’t have any friends who are preggers, but I spent time with my friend Angela and her baby on Saturday and it made me really happy because I think she is such a great mom. Her boys are so lucky. 🙂

    I know a few people who are expecting. One of which being my high school boyfriend. I was jealous, until I found out it was a boy and I dont have to worry about him stealing my girl baby name – now Im happy for him. 🙂

    Ooh, Data’s looking something fierce in that shot. Still dig it though.
    A bunch of my friends have had kids in recent years, but I don’t think anyone is expecting just now.
