Hi
Right, well, I'm hoping to get some opinions about whether I'm doing the right thing before I do it!
My friend is expecting a baby, due in a few months time. She appears to be pretty organised and have everything she will need sorted out by her relatives but I will obviously be wanting to get something myself. I was wondering what the opinions are from you all regarding birth samplers. For anyone who doesn't know what I mean its basically a cross stitch picture with the name and date of arrival on it.
Does anyone like them or do you all think its a silly idea and I should get her something practical etc?
I personally would like one if my body ever decides to work with me and I'm able to have kids (I digress) but realise that everyone is different and I'm, as one of my friends put it, the oldest 26 year old she knows!!
I don't want to ask her outright as would like it to be a surprise if I do make one. I have found out how the nursery has been decorated and that would allow me to design the picture and get everything but the name and date done in advance... providing I can actually get the design I have in my head down on a chart etc.
Will be grateful for any opinions you have.
Thanks in advance
Amee
