Spoiling My Pregnant Friend. . . .

My maid of honor told me last Friday that she is pregnant, and I am so excited that I could PEE.  Her and her husband have been trying for over a year and I guess it was finally in the cards for them.  In any case, I kind of knew the day she got pregnant; I had a feeling when she told me that they had 'done the deed' and sure enough, 6 weeks later she had a positive test.

Me being the sneaky friend that I am, went and bought her a congratulatory card.  At lunch when she told me the news I whipped it out and said 'I knew it!'  I have a great feeling that this is not only a sticky baby, but also a girl. . . .I tend to be very intuitive and hope that my esp is correct on this one again.

She doesn't read my blog yet, so I can post this!  Tomorrow we're getting together to watch a documentary called 'The Business of Being Born', which pretty much sums up both of our thoughts on todays maternity health care.  Here is the trailer if you are interested: http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/trailer.php

We plan on wearing slippers and pajamas, and feeling so lucky in having a friend like her for our wedding and in my life I HAVE to spoil her.  She has not been feeling well and morning sickness is definitely getting the best of her, so I've put together a 'spoil the pregnant lady' package.  I bought everything at Target, yay Target!

Included:

This adorable and oh-so comfy sleepwear that will accommodate her growing belly to some extent. . .I hope!

$3.49 on clearance

I couldn't resist getting this adorable newborn outfit. . .her and her husband LOVE bunny rabbits.

Granted, I'm relying on intuition here that it's a girl. . . .
