In the tough times in life you get support from the least likely of places. Today Jonathan and I met with 2 local girls I befriended from The Bump on a chat board of ladies all due in January birth month. The January 2012 board was always an amazing support system during my pregnancy for answer from ladies who have kids, a sounding board for moments of hormonal instability or even just a general understanding that when you want vanilla ice cream with colored sprinkles…a preggie NEEDS vanilla ice cream with colored sprinkles.
Well today these ladies took that support to a whole new level! They took up a collection amongst 50 or so women and threw us a web version of a baby shower since they knew we had to cancel ours. It’s in this type of moment where you are really able to see the good in perfect strangers. I just hope one day to be able to pay forward the kindness and generosity these ladies have shown my little family. I feel blessed beyond words and hope to never forget how this kindness has warmed my heart. <3
