New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Baby shower wishes. May the gifts cover the basics, and may a friend remember to bring snacks for the actual parents.
Congrats. The baby is coming. The wardrobe is set. The names are still being argued. Standard.
Wishing the parents-to-be a safe delivery and a baby who arrives knowing how loved they are.
Baby shower hugs. May the laundry be done by someone else for at least the first month.
Wishing the little one a long, loud, well-lived life — starting with a gentle few first weeks.
