So…it’s been a long while and I’ve had really good intentions but I just haven’t followed through. Work has been absolutely nuts! And, on top of that I think I’m nesting in a pretty big way. This condo is small and we have received a lot of stuff so each weekend I try to figure out a way to keep it neat and tidy while accommodating the extra gear.
Friday is my last day at the office and trying to prepare for 3 months of being gone hasn’t been an easy task. The good thing is I’ll be working from home for a couple weeks so I hope the transition works itself out.
We still don’t have an official name for our little girl but at this point we might as well just wait until she arrives to officially announce our decision. I’m still leaning towards Finley but just can’t get Jeff to commit.
We had 4 fabulous baby showers and I’m so thankful for all of my friends and family who made us feel so loved. Jeff’s work gave us a swing and dinner service for after the baby arrives. His shower was a surprise and for those of you who know Jeff, he’s not a big fan of surprises. To make it even more stressful for him, they asked that I show up as part of the surprise. Double whammy! He turned out to be a pretty good sport about the ordeal. I ended up being more stressed about springing a ‘surprise’ on him then he turned out to be.
Our second shower was at my mom’s house and lots of friends and family showed up. I even drug Natalie, Stephanie, Jen, and Lexie to the event and we played a couple games (yellow bunting anyone??) which I’m sure that the girls can’t wait to play again someday. My mom and sister-in-law put together some great food, a slide show (featuring Jeff as Superman), and party.
The third shower was put on by Jen and was absolutely fabulous. It was at Tulio restaurant in downtown and all of the girls showed up. I can’t say enough about how great it was to see everyone and absolutely cannot wait to introduce our little girl to all of them. Also, a major slam dunk on the art corner, sherbert floats, and activities. It was also such a treat to see some of the girls I haven't seen in awhile including Miranda, Amy, Joci, and Sarah. As well as spend some time with those who I have the pleasure of seeing much more frequently!
Our final shower was thrown by the girls at the office. They organized such a great little soiree and gave us our baby food cooker, some great Kiehl’s baby products and a gift certificate to Amazon. I absolutely can ‘t wait to put together my first veggie concoction, do a little more shopping, and lather our little girl in some sweet smelling lotion. :)
Now that we’ve been indulged with 4 great parties, I think we’re finally ready to have our little one join us. I’ll keep you all updated on our next few weeks and hopefully we’ll have a BIG announcement soon.
