I recently had the most strong and wonderful experience of my life. I gave birth to a wonderful, sweet little boy. Although he can not say anything but ‘ga', and seems unable to really control his arms and legs that well, I have confidence that when he is older, he will grow in to a fully functional adult just like his father is.

And so, in spite of the fact that my little bundle of joy does not do much besides lie around all day, and is not much of a talker, I thought that it was important to send out baby boy announcements to all of my friends as soon as possible so that they could come by and meet little Johnny.

When I picked out my baby boy announcements, I certainly needed to take my time. I am particular in all things, especially important ones. There is nothing in this world that is more important than presenting a good appearance to friends, colleagues, and anyone you might pass on the street, and whether it is clothes or baby boy announcements, appropriate care must be taken to pick out just the perfect thing. Fortunately, the internet was chock full of baby boy birth announcements, and so there was an sufficient selection to satisfy even the most demanding consumer, such as myself. Yet, after hours and hours at the computer, I could not find quite the perfect baby boy announcements.

A lot of them had that perfect cutesy cheerful writing, some of them even printed, and they had those adorable pictures of little boys in blue diapers playing with kitties and balloons, but none of these letters seemed to express the full extent of my emotions, although they did come close. I had thought that I would have to cooperation and settle for some second rate baby boy announcements, when I saw it the perfect one.

On the surface, the baby boy announcement was much like all of the others. Like most of the baby boy announcements available, it had the same bubbly script, the same pale blues and purples, the same adorable little thing sucking his thumb. To tell you the truth, what made this one different from all of the other baby boy announcements was the look in the eyes of the cat he was playing with. Of all of the baby boy announcements, this was the only one where the cat was looking straight out at whoever was holding the card, and the sweet look in its catlike eyes completely charmed me.
