Work/Friend Shower

The Dad-to-be looks thrilled !?!? He definitely wants to attend another shower :)

Our very LARGE, YUMMY cake...if you look closely you will see our last name is now spelled with a "C" in the middle. My friend told me it was spelled wrong because we won't share the babies name.


Diapers Diapers Diapers...and I say that with great excitement!!!

We had our final shower today (semi surprise), at the school I work at. It was combined with my "friend shower" to make it easier. We had a great turnout, about 38 people attended or contributed to our baby's gifts. Plus Andrew was able to attend, which was a bonus for me since he is usually away during activities. We received a LOT of great presents: exersaucer, mobile, diapers, clothes, boppy, diapers, wipes, books etc, plus some nice gift cards for the PX and JcPenney. I hope to use the PX ones on more diapers or a few Step2 products (big plastic slide, car, picnic table, sand/water table). We will figure that out at a later date, well after the baby is born. Our son is definitely going to be spoiled by all of the wonderful things we received. I never thought so many people would contribute to the support of our child. It's unbelievable. We are very very fortunate.

PS the cake was the best cake I have had in a long time :) We got to bring it home, and we froze part of it so I can eat it after the baby is born...plus my coworkers brought appetizers to share that were also extremely good :)...I really do like food, and I admit I broke the carb rules for a bit...

Insulin :(

The day has arrived....I get the joy of giving myself an insulin shot, 3 times a day. Woohoo!! Just what I have always wanted to do. Which means I have to give myself the shot in my side/belly, prick my finger, and wait 15 minutes until I can eat a meal. This does not fit into a school schedule very well. One week from today is my doctor appt with the delivery doc, so I'm hoping he will want the baby to come out sooner, so I can go back to eating and not putting holes in my body.
