Feeling beyond blessed

Shira • Trying to be half the parent my dad was.

My new friends and family (in-laws) are amazing. I have two daughters from a previous relationship before my husband and I got together. And both those pregnancies I was basically on my own (not completely). Well I got the shock of my life when we announced we were expecting a lil boy. My in-laws gave me a baby shower and my new (husbands) friends gave us another one.

I literally was expecting nothing but love, laughter, clothes and blankets. And they gave him/us soooo much that I literally broke down and cried after they left.

You see my father recently died when I was 3 months and I don't communicate with my biological mother and her family. So its literally just me with no major support from my family. This has lead to depression and anxiety. Soon after they cut my husbands hours and put me on non-paid leave at 6 months. So money has been tight but I new we would make it, it would be rough but there is nothing I can't make it through.

And while no one who gifted us actually knows this, their love for us has blown my mind. Cribs, hand knit blankets, jackets, hats, quilts, diapers wipes. Everything made and bought with love. I'm tearing up now just looking at it. Love is amazing!
