Our Amazing Friends

We have some truly amazing friends. This is being brought home by the sheer amount of advice and the many offers of baby gear that have been coming our way of late. As my lady's pregnancy continues to grow (and my god, it's growing fast), we are being inundated with baby stuff from friends far and wide, and we can't thank them enough.

 We are extremely grateful for every bit of advice and every sleep suit that people have been kind enough to hand us. Of course, we have been going mad buying a huge amount of stuff in order to prepare for the arrival of our son, but these gifts of advice and gear are massively appreciated.

 It has been this outpouring of well-wishing and helpful knowledge that has helped to put me at ease a little of late. I know I'm not alone in what I'm going through as a first time dad, and my lady is justifiably getting way more help and advice from friends. After all, she's the one carrying our little boy around in her belly.

My point here is that you should not turn down help from friends at this turbulent time in your life, folks. Don't be too proud or headstrong to say “Yes, actually I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and some pointers would be grand.” This is a time where it's actually feeling good to be growing up a bit at last.

Important things are happening, life is changing, preparations are being made and the old me is being left behind somewhere. The thing is, despite the chaos, the uncertainty and all of the worries that we're facing, we are constantly being reminded of our amazing friends, and just how much they mean to us. Thanks, you guys. I hope we can do you justice and be halfway as decent parents as you. You may never know how much I admire you all.
