Baby Shower

Since Lincoln decided to come so early, the baby shower from the ladies at work (Fitness Ridge) had to be rescheduled (it was originally scheduled for the 17th... which they kindly moved to the 22nd). It was good to see them all again and it was sweet of them to come.

One girl, Hollie, wrote a poem along with her gift which I thought was so cute. I thought I'd share it because it is so good!

A Hiker's Guide to Motherhood
by Hollie Reina

At the trail head you'll find that you're starting off blind
and the path looks rocky and hard.
Many people will say how to start on your way
and they'll tell you how long and how far.

You might not want to go and you'll step out real slow
thinking why did I do this and how?
Just remember your feet and that baby so sweet
and the joy that you're feeling right now.

You will climb many hills and take many spills
and you'll feel like you've been left behind.
You'll get slogged down in sand and not want to stand
and ask how much is left of this grind?

But life is a thrill as you crest each new hill
and the view before you is grand!
The further you go the more that you'll grow
and you'll see it in one tiny hand.

At times it is tough and most certainly rough
but you'll find strength where you least thought you would.
Now get on your way there is no more delay
on the hike that is called motherhood.
