Cecily Strong Instagram – Best birthday of my life. Everyone should have a baby shower with the greatest group of friends and family on Earth for their 41st. Beautiful friends in wigs sending video messages to future lil bébé, mind blowing magic tricks, Peppermint dancing on the Scholastic building rooftop at 2pm on a Saturday, greatest God Parents’ speeches, old new and chosen family, babies in glam rock mullets, and a delicious birthday breakfast of Ina Garten’s French toast cooked with love by my favorite author of a book about the last queen of Hawaii. Little girl now has a brand new set of one-of-a-kind onesies and a library of favorite books from my favorite people (two copies of The Giving Tree means you’ve got the right people around you). I’m forever grateful for all the smiling I’ve done over the last 24 hours and I think I might just stay smiling for a little while. What an antidote for the gray sad scary exhausting unfathomable unmooring winter. As I said yesterday- While it may seem odd at first to have a giant baby shower, I know how incredibly lucky and grateful I feel to have existed in a time and place where I could make the choice and actually get to safely (knock on wood) become a mom at 41. With a fantastic partner. And I think that’s worthy of a proper fucking celebration! | Posted on 10/Feb/2025 05:20:10
