Honey Bee 🐝
I’ve been thinking about you so much and I just feel so full of love and excitement for you. It’s such a wild, beautiful thing that we’ve grown up side by side, and now I get to watch you step into this new chapter… honestly, it feels like such an honor just to witness it. I’m so, so happy for you.
The fact that you told me in person meant more than you probably realize. I’ll always hold that moment close. This baby is already so loved, and I cannot wait to meet them. There’s just something extra special about your BFF's baby 🥹
I know I’m not a mom myself, but a you know I’ve been lucky to walk alongside so many amazing ones, and one thing I’ve learned is how important it is to be surrounded by calm, supportive, loving people, especially in those early days. You don’t have to do any of this alone. Not even close.
So here’s what I want you to know and truly feel: you’ve got us. My family is your family in this.
My mom and I would love to include you and your hubs in our meal rhythm for that first month. We’ll make extra of what we’re already cooking and bring you dinner every few days. No pressure, no fuss. I’ll swap out containers so you don’t have to think about dishes or cooking smells or any of that. Just warm food, ready when you need it.
And on Sundays, since we’re already doing our grocery run, my mom is more than happy to pick up anything you need. It genuinely isn’t any trouble since you're literally my neighbor now (it still makes me giddy).
I really believe in doing this as a community. You deserve to feel supported, cared for, and held up in this season.
Also… I’m giving you something small that I’ve made a tradition out of for all the new moms in my life. You'll recognize it. It’s called a Cocoon, and every single mom I’ve given one to ends up loving it (and getting compliments on it for years). Each one ends up feeling like it matches their personality somehow… and I picked yours with you in mind 💛
Hint: You're always complimenting my aunt's "shawl" 😆
More than anything though, this gift is just a little extension of how I feel about you: supported, cared for, and wrapped up in something soft during such a big life transition.
I love you so much. I’m here for the quiet moments, the overwhelming ones, the beautiful ones, and everything in between. You’re going to be an incredible mom with fashionable taste. 🌟
Always your girl J.C.🤍
