Shopping Like Crazy for Baby items November 5, 2009
My friend, Jessica, just found out that she is going to have a baby and we are really excited for her because she and her husband had been trying for almost a decade now.
In our circle of friends, Jessica was the first one to get married, a few years after we graduated from college. She always wanted a big family that’s why she wanted to have an early head start. Unfortunately, life is really not fair sometimes. While of all of us are already “moms”, Jessica remained an “aunt” to all our kids. We knew how tough it was for her. There was this one time when a store-bought pregnancy kit confirmed that she was pregnant and she was so happy that she couldn’t sit still. At that time we were on a mission, our first stop was the mall and Jessica literally went crazy shopping for baby items. We tried reminding her that it was still early in the pregnancy but she didn’t listen. So you could just imagine how heartbroken she was when she found out that it was a false positive.
I kept all the things we bought that day. We all knew that it would be much harder for her to recover with all the “baby cuties” in sight. But now, I am so happy that I could finally give all the baby purchases back to her, after all it is now her turn to be a mom.
