I am always amazed at how kind and generous people can be, especially when you are directly exposed to the generosity of strangers or those you only know through other people. This weekend we went to Cincy to get a crib from a friend and came home with the crib, a pack & play, bouncer, swing, a case of diapers, and several bags of clothes for Baby Kumquat. As much as I am in awe of the generosity of my friends and family, it was the gifts from 2 women that I've never even met that were the most amazing. One of my mom's friends made Baby Kumquat a gorgeous blanket that will match the colors of his room almost perfectly. She hand knitted this blanket...did I say its gorgeous?
However, the best baby gift so far has to be the Steelers gift bag from my mom's friend Twila. Again, never actually met her but she is definitely a front runner in the "who buys the bring home baby outfit!" (How cute is little hat?) Sorry Cincy family, the Bengals may have beaten us twice this season, but he will be raised from the beginning as a Steeler boy even though he is due to arrive right after football season is officially over.
Thanks to everyone for all of your love and support through this process. We are at 26 weeks currently and babycenter.com compares him to an English hothouse cucumber this week in length. I have another ultrasound scheduled at 28 weeks, so hopefully we'll have new pictures to post then. I probably should go be productive at school now.
