When I was pregnant I honestly could hardly afford anything I wanted to be able to give my baby. My sisters had already bought her car seat and bedroom set while my parents purchased a lot as well. Once when I was about seven months pregnant I saw a wicker laundry basket that I really began to covet at Hobby Lobby. It didn't seem like something huge to probably anyone but myself and it wasn't anything super amazing but I knew I couldn't afford it at the time so I decided that I would just save up and get it when I could. At the baby shower my family hosted for me the nicest family in my parents church gave me the exact one I had been looking at. They asked my mom what was something I really wanted and they got it for me. I was just putting Boston's dirty clothes away and remembered how happy I was when I got that present. It's amazing how something like a laundry basket can bring so much happiness. If the Christensen's read this I hope they realize how happy they made me and I hope I can one day pay it forward.
