Last Saturday my friends and family came together to shower me and Baby Dash with love and well wishes. We laughed, we cried, we danced, ate great food and played cute baby games. It was such a wonderful day and it felt so good to have so much support. Besides the wonderful gifts we received, which are very much appreciated, there was so much more to take home. It was the funny stories, the advice from those who have gone down this road before me, the feelings of real joy and love that was really the best part. These are the things I will remember and will help me feel good when everything hurts and will surround my baby when he or she gets here and be a positive force in Dash's life.
My mom even seemed to have a great time. She told me before that in Haiti they don't do showers and that when someone has a baby you just give them money. So I don't think she was really into the whole idea. But I hope after Saturday she sees how important it is to come together and celebrate a new life on the way and show the Mommy and Daddy your love and support. I think she gets that now.
So I will be forever grateful to my girlfriends who put this together. I know they worked hard and I will never be able to thank them enough. Dash will have so many great Aunties! My girlfriends are really an extension of my family. And I love that they truly can't wait to meet this little one and be a part of his or life. So thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
5 more weeks to go...maybe. Dash is in position and ready to go. I feel invigorated again. I feel such excitement right now. Clock is ticking!!!
