Since becoming pregnant and welcoming BabyBird into our lives, I have been overwhelmed time and again by people's generosity. Just today a good friend brought around a meal, a new swim nappy for BabyBird, and a whole wardrobe of clothing for a baby 12months-2years from her friend. In fact, we've bought very little for our new baby, most of what we have has been gifted to us.
It's not just material gifts either. I have made many friends since I became pregnant as people always smiled my way. In the early days of my pregnancy, I didn't really understand it and even felt a bit annoyed that people were always asking me how I was doing when nothing seemed very different. But soon I appreciated their kind concern, as sleep became more difficult and my body grew aches I never knew existed. The excessive smiling going on also made it much easier for me to approach and talk to strangers - the happy hormones may have helped this also. It turns out everybody loves a pregnant lady. And they seem to love a baby even more.
