I agree. It’s good that family and friends help parents, whether they’re first-time parents or ones in the biz long-term.
My choir gave me a surprise shower. We’d planned a practice, I thought, and I was feeling tired, being 45, so I called Rafaela and said, “I don’t think I can make it,” and she said, “Oh, no, you have to be there! Asuncion and Norma can’t agree on the plans, and I don’t know what to do!” If I hadn’t been 8 months pregnant, I wouldn’t have fallen for it, because Asuncion and Norma never disagree, but it got me out of bed, and then they surprised me with cake and games and presents, and we also practiced.
LOL Excellent...
