Michelle brought gifts and blankets for each expectant mother. The First Lady described how eventually you manage to learn that babies are really hard work but at the beginning there are so many things running through your mind like what will the baby be like and will I ever sleep though the night again? Michelle said that events like this baby shower for all the mums to be who are without their husbands while they are deployed, honour and support the nation’s military families. The First Lady said they hope to help make the whole country gather around these new mums when they are expecting and in the years to come. So that they know they are not alone especially with the stresses that come with pregnancy and being far away from your family members.
