Day 177: Baby Boom

This morning I woke up to a baby announcement... and, it made my day! First off, Congratulations to the pregnant lady!
It seems like everyone's either pregnant these days or getting pregnant... another Baby Boom? (maybe, due to all the layoffs this year...)
Yesterday, I visited a friend of mine who's also 7 months pregnant with a baby girl. She's getting ready for a baby shower soon and was telling me about how much there is to do before the baby arrives. She was telling me about baby soap, baby laundry machine, baby detergent, and everything and anything that comes "baby." Personally, I think all a baby needs is (corny enough...) "love" to be able to grow up happy. No matter what brand their clothes or detergent, it's not going to matter...
There's a movie out called "Babies" and it's about 4 different babies being born in 4 different parts of the world. (US, Tokyo, Namibia, and Mongolia) If you have time, watch the trailer on Youtube because it's really interesting to see how each baby grows up in their own environment. The point of the movie is that all a baby needs is love... all anybody needs is love...

Tip of the Day: If you've had a baby, you already know how priceless a baby is... If you're pregnant, congrats to you... you're experiencing something so amazing, but, try not to worry about all the extra materials that are not going to matter in the end... If you haven't had a baby and are not pregnant... enjoy these times of doing things for yourself... Overall, everything we experience and will experience has its time... so, enjoy "right now," baby or not.

Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.
