I went to my friend's baby shower today. It was so much fun! She has 3 boys, and is pregnant with a baby girl. I know her a couple of ways....since I live in a small town, a lot of us moms with similar age kids end up running into each other at the same kiddie activities over and over again. I have been on the "same circuit" with several moms over the years. This mom L and I were in MOPS together, mommy-and-me music class together, and our boys are friends at preschool. And we are both members of the "my 3 sons club" and soon-to-be the "my 3 sons and a daughter club".
I was talking to someone the other day and mentioned that I was going to a baby shower, and it was so much fun buying baby girl stuff for her. I said something like, "she has 3 boys, and is finally getting her girl!" The person I was talking to replied "oh, that's great. Where is her baby being born at?" Meaning they assumed she was adopting a baby! Wow, I realize how adoption has come to play such an integral part of my life, and I have a lot of great adoption friends. So this person assumed any of my expectant parent friends are growing their family thru adoption. I laughed and said, "no, she's having a baby the old-fashioned way"! Adoption seems to be so en vogue these days.
And I love it!
P.S. Did I mention that a certain cute baby girl is 5 months old today?! I can't believe it! What a wonderful 5 months it has been!
