What a fun season of life this is! We have lots of friends having babies and getting married this year and I have been thinking about these friends a lot lately. I want to make sure I'm supporting the new parents-to-be and that I'm a good friend to them as they grow their families.
Here are some of my ideas:
1. Pray for them
2. Help host a shower
3. Take the expectant mommy to get a mani/pedi
4. Offer to craft something for the nursery
For those of you who have been through a pregnancy, what did you find particularly supportive from friends?
Hey Nicole! Great post here. I read a wonderful blog post yesterday with 100 ideas on how to encourage new moms and I bet you'll love it as much as I did: http://thegypsymama.com/2012/02/100-ways-to-encourage-a-new-mom/
ReplyDeleteHi, Sarah! So good hear from you. I LOVE your blog and look forward to reading it more often now that I know about it. My favorite part? I can totally imagine you saying the words you write. :)
DeleteYou're way too sweet, friend! Thanks!
DeleteNicole I feel like you are so super intentional and thoughtful - it is awesome. All of your ideas are wonderful, but I'm sure your friendship means the most!
ReplyDeleteI'm pregnant with my 4th. The mani/pedi idea is PERFECT! :)
