Joel's class threw us a surprise baby shower! I knew about it ahead of time and took a 1/2 day off of work so I could attend, but I didn't tell Joel. While talking to a co-worker early in the week about my 1/2 day off to attend the shower I discovered that my work was planning on throwing me a surprise baby shower that same day and that Joel was planning on attending! What an odd coincidence! My work re-scheduled mine so Joel's could continue to be a surprise. I almost made it to the shower without giving Joel any clues, but the night before we were chatting and I accidentally said that I was taking a 1/2 day the next day and that got his wheels turning and he kinda figured it out even though I tried to cover up...I'm not a very good liar! Joel still acted surprised and we had a lot of fun playing baby games with the kids, eating baby food, having snacks and even wearing adult diapers! They bought us the Baby Einstein Jumper which I am so excited to have and they gave us a book of advice from the students on all things baby...very funny!
We got the green light from Dr Strong to go some place for Spring Break...4 hours from home was our limit though...so we naturally went to Howell, MI! Even though it wasn't some place warm like Florida it still felt fabulous to get away from home and relax. We shopped at IKEA, ate good Mexican food, swam in the hotel pool, watched a movie during the day, shopped at the outlet malls and ate a lot of junk food...a recipe for a great weekend!
I am still feeling pretty good..just getting bigger every day it feels like and anticipating my 1st contractions!!! Joel is getting anxious to hold/play with the baby!
So adorable, Stacey!
