The Daily Matters

Last Saturday, we were invited to a baby shower for my friend Marilyn. We drove to New York early in the morning since it usually takes 2 hours depending on the traffic. I brought Casey his lunch and fed him in the car while moving and fortunately he ate pretty good. We made good time and came to the restaurant where the venue of the party was, 15 minutes early. Everyone seemed to came at about the same time. I met other guests and most especially the celebrant. It was the first time I saw her belly in person. I only saw her once with the tummy on the webcam before as I was eager to see her pregnant. Marilyn is very pregnant already and the next time we will see each other again she will be mothering a baby. Her expected due date is in the middle of September. I just wished her and her hubby all the luck. I hope she will have a smooth sailing journey from labor to delivery. We were glad to have attended the party and I was also happy to have handed her presents for her to open after the dinner. She got good stuff. With our distance now, I just don’t know when we are going to see each other again. To Marilyn and Michael, good luck to parenthood!
