We are SO Lucky

Yes, we have a ton of friend around us who care for us very much. Their calls, visits, food, gifts, etc. have made us go through this difficult times faster. Pat and I are not very materialistic and we like to reuse things. So we always thought that when we have a baby we wont need to buy much stuff because the universe will provide and we can always find things to reuse. Here are the examples that it is true and the universe is providing.

My friend Ellen from school told me several months ago that she could lend me the crib and bassinet that her children used several years ago! I said THANK YOU! and now I have a great looking crib and a bassinet for my baby. Then, we knew we needed a car seat because we would not let out of the hospital with the baby if we did not have one, so we found in craigslist a great looking car seat and stroller combo in perfect condition for 1/3 of the price! Then, I knew I needed a pump and I was planning to search for one in craigslist, since I can not go out shopping,  and oh surprise, I got a call from my friend Leticia yesterday telling me that she has a pump for us and several other practical and useful things that her friend gave her. I cannot wait to see it!

Also, my friend Suzanne gave me some good books to read and prepare me for the first weeks of feeding the baby, changing the diapers and try to figure out what could be going on when the baby cries. I have learned good things from the books now let's see what happens when reality hits... 

What would live be without friends? 

Thanks everyone!!!
