First of My Life!

I'm so excited I can't even gather a phrase. One of my Friends is about to have a baby (Girl!!!) and I've been invited to her Baby Shower.

Now, being Italian, this particular event is not part of our tradition and culture so I even had to ask to a mutual friend how to behave and what to do.

Personally, I'm so happy and honoured to be part of it. 

I followed her pregnancy step by step, looked after her when she was exagerating at work, got worried as fuck when she got sick, holding back tears at every scan she showed me. 

She wanted a boy and she waited for very long time before asking for the gender.

It happened that on the 1st of January I read the Independent and the first 3 new borns were all Girls, here in Ireland. So I told her, I bet she'll be a Girl too.

And so it was.

I can't tell the feeling on knowing I was right. Almost as I was expecting her myself. Well, I'm sort of doing it...

Now I just have to find something to buy for her and the party.

That's so lovely, going around and looking for Baby Girl's stuff.

I'm melting!
