So I was leaving the house this afternoon to run errands, and I saw a box of diapers on the porch. And I kinda was like waaaa??? I don't remember ordering another box...so I go check it out, and there's a sweet card from our neighbors across the street wishing us luck and love for babywine!
Apparently (according to DH) when DH was watering plants outside the other day, our neighbor came over and was like, "Did I see a bump on your wife?!" (we have very different schedules so I rarely see people during the day) and then they obviously rushed out to get us the diapers. So sweet.
I'm especially surprised, because we have a really nice street where all the neighbors are so nice, and we all know each others' faces, but it's not the BBQ together, housesit each others' pets kind of neighborhood, and DH and I are the newest additions having only bought our house two years ago, so it could be they are all hanging out without us lol, but nonetheless, how cute.
Anyways. I baked brownies and gave them a thank you. Maybe excessive but I'm really touched guys lol!

That's very very sweet!
My neighbors are pretty quiet and not so social. Although, there is a couple that moved down the street and recently had a baby girl, I feel like reaching out to them so I have a mom friend nearby. Is that creepy?

I think if you left a card, and like food, or diapers, or something helpful and practical on their doorstep, and just said, "Hi I noticed you had your baby girl, congrats, and if you ever need anything I'm only xxx doors down!" That is thoughtful, helpful, and puts zero pressure on them. It made my day!
