The Beauty of Sharing

Harper is already a very fortunate little girl, because we have so many friends and family members who've been excited to share there baby stuff with us. Glenn was the first person to give Harper a present - the softest baby blanket ever and a few books. Then, JoJo gave us sparkly, pink tennis shoes that make me wish I wore a sie two - they're sooo cute :)

But, what I'm most thankful for are the people who are loaning us stuff that they no longer use, or at least don't need right now. Cathy is giving us a crib, cradle, and clothes for Harper and me. Since those are some of the necessities, I'm really happy to have them. Also, Jeff and Laura gave us a bathtub, bouncer, Bumbo seat, and a bunch of bottles and sippy cups. Wow! We're lucky :)

We've also had two people volunteer to be on-call babysitters, which is amazing (especially when you don't have family in town).

All in all, I feel like things are starting to come together. It thrills me that so many people already love and support Harper at 21 weeks of life! We're sooo fortunate :)
