Last week I received a box in the mail from my friend Kathy, who spoiled me (and Otto) rotten by sending a TON of goodies! Burp clothes, onesies, receiving blankets, toys ... a little bit of everything! Kathy was a good friend of mine when we lived in South Bend, and I'm touched by her generosity.
Neighbors of ours had a little boy last year, and received a Notre Dame gift set from friends of theirs who are rabid Irish fans. Since our neighbors are die-hard State fans, this particular gift never made it onto their little son! They were more than happy to pass it onto us, and I wasn't too proud to accept a "regift." Granted, the onesie is a little boyish-looking, but even if Otto ends up being a girl, I suspect she will wear this at least once or twice! (Look at those booties -- can you believe there will be feet tiny enough to fit into them?!)
And just yesterday I received a beautiful gift from Ann, a friend of my mother's. She sent a white lace handkerchief that turns into a bonnet for the baby to wear at his/her baptism or any special occasion. If the baby is a girl, she can use the handkerchief as her "something old" on her wedding day. If the baby is a boy, he can present it to his bride on their wedding day. How precious!
