Betsy you look FANTASTIC pregnant – it’s not a look that most of us carry off without a churlish expression and/or hideously swollen somethings, but you look beautiful! Fingers crossed as you approach the big day, and if you feel like being early, may I recommend June 3, my Ezra’s birthday. Very auspicious.

You’re welcome! What would we do without sisters, mohawked and otherwise.

Betsy,

I ALWAYS give children’s books as gifts at baby showers. At the last baby shower that my daughter and I attended, we gave the mother-to-be several of my favorite picture book read-alouds for toddlers–as well as a few poetry books. The mother-to-be came over to my daughter and me before we left and told us that our gift was the best one that she had received.

I hope you and your baby have memorable times reading The Molly Books!

Thanks for the shout-out sis. Glad you liked the gift, though sorry again for the biiiig oops on the name. And thanks to all the authors and illustrators for helping me bring this together, it’s really their gift, not mine!

June 12th. However, on both sides of the Baby Bird’s family folks have a tendency to come a bit late. Then again, I do look fit to burst, so maybe it’ll be sooner? Hard to say . . .

What wonderful gifts. And what a wonderful sister! I’ve got a question as well. I’ve been out of the loop and haven’t heard–when’s the due date? (from the looks of the picture, it might be in the next half hour!)

They’re made with maple syrup flavored frosting. I kid you not. Heaven doesn’t quite describe them.

BTW, chocolate chip pancake cupcakes might be the best thing I’ve learned of in some time. It’s practically holy.

Perhaps 84 correctly addressed book plates to be applied over “Molly” would be a good first-birthday gift? (Certainly easier to carry out to the car after the party.)

While I dislike cupcakes (it’s true), your shower sounds like it was all kinds of awesome. I will now forward this post to my sisters in the hope that it might shame them into one day giving me similarly amazing gifts.
