Rondidondi... you are an inspiration!

If more people rallied around women with unexpected pregnancies, fewer children would be unnecessarily separated from their natural families.

I'm so glad these young people have you on their side.

Peace,
Susan

Susan,
Thank you!
I think I'm doing for them, what I wish I had someone doing for me. - Does that make sense?
What I lacked is their gain.

Makes perfect sense to me! Bless you for using your experience to "Pay It Forward". I am dreaming about what blessings these new parents will "Pay Forward" when they reach out to others as you have reached out to them.

With huge admiration -

I was updating a blog that I made for April. I had requests from people that wanted to help her out. I thought I'd post the blog here, just incase anyoe here is also interested.

April's shower

She's doing great!

Thanks so much for sharing your blog with us. Glad to hear they are doing well.

Wow - you are just awesome. As a grandma to a surprise baby born to a solo mom, I would be very interested in the on-line shower. My husband and I and my daughter can well afford to provide for her son. But, oh my goodness, the affirmation that my daughter received via two baby showers was priceless. Every person who contributed was a vote of confidence in her ability to be a mother. The showers went far beyond providing material goods.

happygmom-April's father is a single parent. Men don't have babyshowers-ya know! So, I want to do what I can! She is having a small one held by a friend, so I assume its basically going to a bunch of teenage girls.


My friend and I went and put her registration under her pretend name - "April Shower" from WI. The service desk employee thought it was a really neat idea and took down the info. She told me an item to scan and that she wanted to go online and send it to April. (The item...super cute booties, they were pink knit.)
I ended getying good deals on a few clearance items. I BOUGHT PINK!! LOTS OF PINK!!! (I have 3 boys so pink excites me!)
I hope to get the info on the blog tomorrow. Should probably be doing it now, but wanted to check out the forum instead and then it's off to bed!

SHE'S HERE!
Ella was born at 3:41 this afternoon. 8lbs 10oz! (Mom's a skinny thing too, you NEVER would have guessed it!)
Chad said she's the most beautiful thing he's EVER seen!
I can't wait to see her!
