Today is Memorial Day here in America. Jim is off work. I took Thor out at 6:20 and then sat on our terrace with coffee for a couple of hours just reading my book. So nice that it’s finally summer and we can enjoy the outside more!
Yesterday was a really good and productive day. J and I went to have breakfast next door at 8am, then I scrubbed the bathroom, edited a Paris video, did some more laundry, showered and got ready and Jim drove me to Daniela’s Baby Shower.
It was so cute with light blue decor, little lambs and lots of food. Most of D’s guest were Brazilian (she’s also from Brazil) but there were a few of us who did not speak Portuguese as well. It was nice to go to a party where I didn’t actually know anyone other than the one inviting me:) Daniela was so cute too, her belly is getting bigger and baby George is doing just fine in there getting ready to join us this summer♥
When the shower was over, I tried to get an uber for myself but there was no reception out there. I tried to communicate with Jim who was with Gareth, D’s fiance, and I guess they ended up deciding that they would come pick us up. So out of nowhere the guys showed up at the house. We packed all their gifts in the car, help to clean up and D & G were nice to drop us off at home. J and I did nothing for the rest of the evening, just listened to music, took Thor for a walk and went to sleep.
I am so happy for my friend. I knew they were trying and then in January when we had decided to tell our friends our big news I kinda knew they would have something to tell us as well. We stood in front of each other in our apartment, with our men by our sides, announcing our pregnancies at the same time. She was one week ahead of me, she’s due in end of July and I was due in beginning of August. So crazy. I was just so happy to hear their news and I was so excited that we would experience this together. And then, as you know, shit happens. But my happiness for them hasn’t changed of course, I couldn’t be more excited for their baby boy to come whenever he is ready.
