When Steve and I were trying to get pregnant, I kept having these notions of what I would be like, once we concieved. I really wanted a baby so badly I thought I would become this amazing Earth Mother, peaceful with the world and content with my life, spinning in circles in a sea of daisies. Well. It's just not happening. I don't FEEL pregnant. I don't feel this amazing bond with my unborn child. I don't have enough energy to spin in circles, and it's January. There are no daisies to be found. I really worried that I would never feel for this baby. Until today.
My secret pal sent me the sweetest baby socks and mitts that I have ever seen. I can see my baby's feet and hands kicking around wrapped in these beauties. The front is the bear's face and the back is it's butt!!! Ha ha ha!!! I love them so much. And secret pal, these are my very first pieces of baby clothes. They will always be a sweet, sweet memory, and will make their way into baby's hope chest after they have been enjoyed many times. You are awesome. How did you know exactly what I needed?
Oh, yum yum yum. I am in love with you secret pal. I dream about being your best friend, and exchanging delicious candy treats on a regular basis. Maybe it's just the chocolate talking, but I really think we have a good thing going. I really think I want to move to your country and live next door and eat chocolates from this company every day. I don't even care what it will do to my ass. I am in love.
Purple is perfect. I think I will make some bedsocks. Or maybe a cap. Or maybe...could be anything, you know.
These, my friends, are handmade socks. They are pink and I think they are the most perfect socks I have ever seen. I am guessing they are Pomatomus socks, but I can't be sure. I took off my socks and put these on immediately, and my feet are toasty warm. That is really saying something because the Arctic blast hit us two days ago and I cannot get the apartment warm. I love them, and I think I am going to wear them for the rest of my life. I am one happy camper. Secret pal, you are so awesome, but who are you? I am desperate! I have your name on the package, but I need your blog! I want to know more about this great person who sent me exactly what I needed when I needed it. Thank you so much.
You lucky, lucky devil!

Mmm, you are a lucky gal. Love the little baby socks, they're so cute! I'm sorry you're not feeling very Earth-Motherish just energy-less. I bet Spring will be better.
