Glad you popped in, Mt2b - I wish you had support I checked in with my local ABA group when DS was two weeks old and I think I would have sunk a few times without them.
Speaking of whom, three of my dearest ABA friends came to my blessingway today! It was such a beautiful gathering (no photos, it was a vibe and chatting thing, but I'll lay out the flags and take a photo!) and the girls who came I've been 'collecting' over many years and I'm so lucky! I got to sit and have my feet soaked, rubbed and nails painted while things went on around me. I know I shouldn't, but I managed to keep it together when we did the beads and everyone said a little something as they held a bead and swapped it for a tealight candle. We didn't get a chance to do the henna, so I may decorate myself this week
One of my girlfriends brought a bag of 000 baby clothes, too, and that should tide me over. You ladies are awesome, thanks so much for the offers! If the sonographer is worth her salt then I won't have too long a need for those 000. I'm in south-eastern vic, so logistics are against me for taking up offers - I'm so grateful that you have offered, though. I'm a bit annoyed with myself for leaving it so long to look for them, because there were bits and pieces I really wanted to use again. I'll have to ask my GF who I remember last loaning them to, and go from there. We are due for a catch up, anyway
I feel like I'm in a cloud tonight! I'm so glad I organised the blessingway - everyone deserves one.
