I have to blog about the past week. It has been very nice. The thing that is on the top of my mind was my surprise Baby Shower they threw for me at work. I had originally said I didn't want one at my job. But the more I thought about it I was like if I had a little one it would be nice. If just the people I work with downstairs were to attend it would still be nice. Toni found out that I asked another co-worker/friend if I was having one and Toni said she didn't know I wanted one. She said she can make it happen and would throw me one on Oct.7th. I got a little excited but what I didn't know was Toni along with Felice, Crystal, Tina, and Franny had already been planning me one for almost a month! Let me tell you.....it was the nicest shower I had ever been to here at my job. Not just because it was for me but because I could tell they put a lot of thought, time, money, and love into it. I was really overwhelmed when I stepped into the conference room for what I thought was a mandatory meeting and to see all those people there. I was confused for a minute trying to figure out what was going on. It was decorated nicely, a big pretty stork balloon, a huge sheet cake, catered food. I was beside my self. I just burst out into tears. I can't even blame it on the pregnancy.

Normally when other departments have things here at the medical center people ask for money to donate and put towards the food and one gift. Not my girls. They saved their money and paid for everything, even got together and got me this expensive stroller. I know it cost a pretty penny because I picked it out and added it to my registry. That left things open for other people to just bring me gifts, and boy did I get a lot of stuff and $100.00 in cash! People kept coming and going. The next day I was taking a list of who was there because I want to send out thank you's and I didn't realize it was so many. All I can say is that I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. When I got home that night I was sure to get on my knees and say a prayer of thanks. It may not seem like such a big deal to some but that day which happened to be Sept. 11th was one of the best for me. I was so happy and I can't wait for my son to be born and meet all these wonderful people that are apart of my life and will soon be a part of his.
