Work Baby Shower & potluck

Yesterday I had a baby shower at work combined with a potluck. It was so fun. It wasn’t a surprise, I’ve been at Accurate long enough to know that I was going to get one. We’re an office varying from around 14-17 people, and there have been TEN pregnancies since I started here almost 7 years ago. That’s a lot of babies for a small office!! So I knew what was coming.

We had a great meal with LOTS of food, and the office spoiled me with gifts for little Holden. We got a baby bath, baby bath products, towels, and toys.

My co-worker Di who is currently on maternity leave (one of the TEN pregnancies) also dropped by with her 2 kids, Hanna & Adrien. So cute, and great to see them. Her family also bought Holden some very nice gifts. Lianne (another one of the TEN pregnancies who’s on maternity leave now) also dropped by with her daughter Charlotte (Coco!), who might be the happiest baby on the planet. Although now that I think of it, my niece Kiera might actually win that battle.

Only 1 more week of work before I go on maternity leave! CRAZY!

Baby Shower weekend

I had my baby shower on Saturday, and it was sooooo much fun! My sister-in-law, Lisa, threw it for me, what a sweetheart! As an only child, I’ve never known what it’s like to have a sister, and now I have 2 wonderful ones, it’s really great.

It was wonderful to see different groups of friends and family all come together and get along so well. Lots of friends came, some with their babies. Bo, Evyn, Madeline and Liam were there with their mommies and everyone had fun cooing over them. Liam is such a big boy now, I didn’t even recognize him at first!! My mom came from Montreal with my aunt, and it was great to share the day with her, even though it was a short visit.

And, of course, Holden got lots of wonderful gifts, he was truly spoiled! We’re ready for him to come now, we have all the necessities, and lots of fun stuff too!

The Friday before the shower was also a great day. I took the afternoon off and had lunch with John and his mom and sister, who came from Guelph just for the shower! We had a great meal, then Danielle, Paula and myself went around Westboro for a little baby shopping. It was great fun and nice to hang out with just the girls. I really lucked out marrying into this family, they’re all wonderful people and have welcomed me from day one. I love you guys! Now I’m getting all sappy, might be the pregnancy hormones *haha*

I’ll be posting some pics from the shower soon.

I’m now 36 weeks pregnant!! Here’s how big he is now, almost 6 lbs!
