An unexpected blessing

Today during lunch my hubby and I talked to a woman that we know from a sports activity. She already has three boys. Afterwards she shared with me that she just had a miscarriage a couple of months ago. They don't really plan on having more kids, so she is ready to get rid of all her baby gear. And she has offered it to us. For free! Wow! We can come to her house and pick what we like.

I was wondering how we were going to pay for all of the equipment and here we get an offer like that. She is truly a blessing and I am sure we will take her up on that offer.

I will be really brave now and do something that I didn't dare to do before. I hope I won't jinx it.

Yoka, I got goose bumps while reading. That is such a tremendous gift of getting all the baby gear and stuff. I also like the ticker. I can understand your apprehension about putting one up. I can't bring myslef to put one up yet. Maybe soon. I am really happy for you. Have you had any more contact with the birth mom? Is she including you in anything or will she just hand the baby over at the end? How far do you have to travel to go meet with the baby and mom? Sorry so many questions.
