On Saturday, we celebrated the blessing way (baby shower) for this baby. We had so much fun! There were 13 women, and 13 children, most between 3 months and 3 years old! We sang songs of guidance and protection, played games like guessing the gender, day, and time of birth, and decorated cards with encouraging words for reminders when in labor. I received many wonderful gifts like a nice robe, baby clothes and blankets, a neclace made with beads that everyone strung with a prayer, and a certificate for friends to help do laundry, play with Haridas, and make lunch! At the end, we decorated my belly with henna, a plant that stains the skin like a temporary tatoo that lasts a few weeks. The weather even blessed us with on and off showers to keep the house cool from the hot, hot sun. We all had a great time and I am feeling so very thankful and blessed!
