A Gift from Aunt Missy!

If there's one thing that makes you feel like a full-fledged member of the pregnancy club, it's the time-honored ritual of being bestowed maternity items from someone who has been there, done that. It's like the passing down of trade secrets!

Such was the case with a thoughtful gift I just received from Papa Bean's sister, who has two adorable, intelligent and athletic children (technically, one is a teenager) of her own. And check out this cute poem - and the note at the end from one of Lima Bean's big cousins!

Tucked in a carefully wrapped box were three baby books: Two to help us choose an appropriate name for Baby Lima Bean ... (Don't ask, we are light years away from a name!)

A big thank you to Missy, Rich, Samantha and Jason for such a fabulous gift!
