Surprise!!

Once again, Brian and I are reminded how blessed we are to be surrounded by such wonderful people! Last Thursday at my school faculty meeting, the staff surprised me and another teacher who is due in November, with a shower. We got diapers and wipes, along with several other goodies, and a $25 gift card to a store of our choice (that our school carries in scrip). Not only were there presents, but also cake and punch!

Then, last night at the PTA Officer's meeting, they surprised me with a shower as well. They came running into my classroom with cake, soft drinks and a big yellow bag full of goodies. I was definitely shocked. In the bag there was a homemade afghan along with a ton of other stuff for our little girl!

We just can't say thanks enough to all of the people who love and support us! It brings tears of joy to my eyes to know that we are bringing our daughter into the world surrounded by such loving and caring people!

Man Storm

Yesterday, Brian's co-workers threw him a surprise "man storm". Brian works with mostly women so they had fun planning the attack and buying lots of baby stuff. He was very shocked and thrilled. They had cake with whipped icing (Brian brought me home a piece of course), fried chicken and lots of other goodies. I had fun going through all of the stuff they bought for Macie. We are so grateful that we have so many people who love and care about us!

The pictures are small because they were emailed to me, but they will have to work!

Home Run!!

Brian plays in a fall softball league and tonight he hit an over the fence homerun! I don't know if I have ever seen him so excited! He had a great night and went 8 for 8 in both games (they play double headers) and had a homerun, a triple, a double, and a single all in the same game. He will be talking about this for a long time. The umpire was nice enough to give Brian the ball and then all of his teammates signed it.

What a week!!

Last week was a crazy week! We started out waking up Sunday morning to our power going out. We didn't get power back until Tuesday evening. I shouldn't complain because some people didn't get it back until Friday!! Thankfully, our fridge wasn't too full, but we still spent some time cleaning and scrubbing. Now it is nice and clean!
I went to the doctor on Wednesday and it looks like Macie weighs approximately 6 pounds and her head is measuring three weeks ahead of schedule!! That, combined with some early blood pressure problems has my doctor wanting to induce me. On October 8th, we are going to pick a date so she will be here before we know it!!!
This weekend we shampooed our couch and livingroom and hallway floors. We have also been getting other cleaning done trying to get ready for Macie to come!

Below are two pictures Brian took on Saturday. They aren't the best of me, but my mother-in-law said that we should take some and update the blog because Macie is clearly getting bigger and bigger in there!!

35 weeks 2 days
