"Thinking of you"

A couple of days ago we received a card in the mail from some members of our church family.  These people are incredibly sweet and have made sure to congratulate us each time we've welcomed a new baby.  We've gotten to know them pretty well over the past few years.  It meant a lot to get a card from them in the mail so soon after Abby's birth.  What a great feeling to know that people are rejoicing with you and thinking of you!



After I read the card I got thinking, though...  What would I write on a "congrats on your new baby" card to a friend?

May you find decent programming on the television at 2am...
May you stay on schedule with your pain medications after your surgery...
May your engorgement period be short...
May you not be consumed with worry every time your baby sneezes...
May you remember that your husband is not your enemy but your closest ally...
May you be able to enjoy and cherish the tiny-baby-cuddle-moments even while you're transitioning through such disequilibrium in your home...
and,
May you remember that you have lots of people who love you, who are there to support you, and who are praying for you...
