Today's the day...

We find out the gender of our little baby :) We are SO excited!

I felt so happy this morning as I was on the bus thinking about how truly blessed we are. Not only do I have a wonderful husband who has washed countless dishes, made me bacon & eggs over and over for breakfast, rubbed my feet and showered me with hugs and kisses... but we have had so many acts of kindness & thoughtfulness shown toward us in the past few months.

My amazing mother from the moment we told her I was pregnant has given us lots of little baby gifts, she is SO excited to be a grandmother :) She happily drove me half an hour to pick up the cot & change table I bought on gumtree, took me to the quilting shop & to see my dress maker (we don't have a car). We have gone over to my parent's house multiple times and each time we do there is a HUGE spread on the table ... delicious main course followed by always more than one dessert :) Dad said last night, "you always cook big meals when Marshall and Tahlia come over!" :) my sisters are always so happy to see us and play games with us.

My beautiful Aunty has been looking for bargains on baby items at garage sales and bought me this baby swing I had really really wanted. :) so thoughtful! she brought it over with a bunch of other goodies. Oh and she has already given me boxes of baby clothes! My dear friend Sonja gave me a baby bath and also calls me when she sees something I might like at a garage sale :) she has also given me lots of good advice, I'm so thankful for her.. and all the cuddles I get to have of her little 3 month old baby boy :) My very talented friend Bec is keen to find out the sex of our baby so she can start knitting some cute little baby items :)

We have been brought meals, invited to dinner, cooked for, shared meals with over and over... and they have always been right when we or I really need them :) We were even dropped some treats at our doorstep this morning from someone anonymous. how thoughtful! :)

I am grateful for these atcs of kindess and so much more... even just the little 'likes' and comments and messages on facebook :)

Time to find out if it's a son or a daughter... off we go!! :)
