Getting showered pt. 3: Surprise!

I had been on my job exactly one week when I found out I was pregnant.  Remember?  I had no idea what kind of person my boss was, how she would react to my pregnancy and whether or not she'd be cool with being out for doctor's appointments.  Thankfully, I didn't have to call out with morning sickness and every time I had a doctor's appointment, I made them for early in the morning so I would miss the least amount of work.  I have been very blessed with an amazing and understanding boss who has begged me to come back to work.  I hate that I finally found a great place to work with a boss I love and awesome colleagues and I'm about to leave!  Of course, my new boss is going to be way cuter but I'm sure much less laid-back than my current boss.  You can't win them all.


She called me into her office Friday afternoon to discuss my maternity leave and the exact dates I'll be out.  Originally, I wanted to stay at work until I went into labor because I figured sitting at home twiddling my thumbs would drive me nuts.  However, after talking to Drew we decided that a week of rest might be best so my last day of work is April 8th - that's two Fridays from now!  We wrapped up our conversation, and as we were heading back to my desk, she asked me to have a look at something in the conference room.

My work people threw me a baby shower!

Drew had flown in that morning, took me to lunch, and secretly came back for the party, all without me knowing!  I was so happy and surprised and I immediately ran back to get my camera.  

One of the girls in the office made all the balloon decorations and

they were so cute!

I loved the centerpiece!

Cute little decorations

April showers bring....babies!!

I mean, baby.  ONE.  One baby.  That's it.

Writing advice cards - I love this idea because I need all the help I can get!

The awesome cake balls.  They made them a little darker

because she's going to be a mixed baby!  

I had a big lunch and I can't eat too much these days, 

but I always have room for cake and grapes!

All the ladies thought Drew was soo cute and soo funny

and he just ate it up!

Isn't this gorgeous? 

I'm adding this one because this is my life.

Drew is surgically attached to his phone - he starts to twitch

if he goes too long without checking it.

Drew was very happy we got some non-pink stuff from one

of the guys in the office.

 I could make this cute with a little blue bow in her hair and 

maybe a little blue skirt and some white ruffly socks?

Yeah, it could work!

I was so touched that they threw a party for us, especially since I haven't been here that long.  A couple days later, I even got some giftcards from other people in the office who weren't able to come to the party.  I thought maybe just the girls on my team would maybe take me out to lunch or something, at most.  This was so unexpected and I am so grateful to all of them.  And it was so super special to have Drew there - that was the icing on the cake!

Dangit, I hate that I'm leaving!
