Receiving birth announcements brings with it so much joy. A baby is a blessing. So when you hear someone close to you giving birth, it feels like you are blessed, too.

I just heard that a friend is pregnant with her second baby. I told our other friends about it and we are now planning a baby shower for her. I am happy for my friend and her husband. It took them a while to get pregnant again. They patiently waited and here is the blessing now. Such joy!
