One thing I have learned over the last couple of weeks...we are really crappy friends.
Lots of our friends have had babies. What have we done? We've said, "Awwww...congrats!" We suck.
So far...we have received dinner from 3 different people, my friend and HR mentor, Meghan (see OurFishFamily in the links section) came over and took some pictures after bringing us dinner, and my folks came up for about 2 weeks to help out. Brian and Lise had us over for Thanksgiving and Brian is coming over today for some photos. Andy and Keely next door have cooked us dinner once and are doing so again, tonight. Andy is making lamb. Everyone says Andy makes the best lamb. I'll let you know if that's true tomorrow. ;-)
That's not all...Janice and Juan two doors down have passed on a ton of cool baby items for us. And, Janice's mom, Lynn, knitted Desi a hat, blanket and booties.
So...for all of our friends that have had kids so far: I'm sorry we suck. We now know what friends should do for friends who are having children. For our friends who haven't had, yet, but will have children...we're ready to step up. Lucky.
