Surprise Ba"bee" Shower
First off....Let me start by sharing that my last day of work this school year was TODAY. (I am going back on the last day of school to snuggle one more time with my kiddos though!) So, it was a bit of an emotional day. I truly LOVE where I work. The ladies I work with were perfectly placed at this school. I have such a special relationship with each of them. Oh...and my class this year.... could they be any sweeter?!?! They are such a loving class...ready to learn.... try to please.... I couldn't have asked for a better year. The Lord had this planned out and I never could have known how important this school would be for me a year ago when I interviewed with my principal.
Needless to say, this little girl in my tummy has made this school year so special and she has brought the bond between me and my classroom families so much more closer. The parents planned a surprise baby shower for me at the end of the day in the science lab! ) My classroom is a "bee" theme...so the shower was absolutely perfect!)
It was also my bus buddy's last day at school before she has her little girl as well. We got one last belly bump in before the day was over!
We had an eventful doctor's appointment after school today..... Let's just say the sweet hubs and I are going to really enjoy these last few days together .... but we are unbelievably antsy about bringing our little no-named sweetie home with us!
"Flakes" Shower
My MIL's girlfriends hosted a shower for me a few weekends ago. I really wanted to make it to the shower and was so nervous I wouldn't be able to because of contractions I was having for a few days before and my left kidney (shakes fist at kidney stones!!) had given me a run for my money the day before. As most things though....it all worked out and I was blessed to be there!
I felt so undeserving... I only knew 6 of the women there. But was quickly welcomed into their "flakes" circle of love! It touched my heart that they wanted to show their support for me and baby girl just because they love my MIL so much! The house was decorated perfectly, every little detail was thought out, and the "new mommy" advice was given freely! I was taking mental notes! I even heard several wild delivery stories!
I feel so supported right in this time of my life... so many people willing to take time out of their days and families to help me start my own family. They may not ever know exactly how much their love means to me. My hubs and I were at dinner tonight and we were just chatting... He said this is the happiest he's ever been in his whole life. Yep, I just kept with the daily routine and teared up...because I feel the same way. I am honored to go through this next chapter by his side. Who knows...maybe I'll be able to write another no-baby post...then again....the next post could be all about our new bundle of joy!
