SURPRISE

Holy Cow, was I ever surprised!!!

Last night your Grandma was coming in to town to stay for a couple of nights due to her work. I was really looking forward to it. Well, come to find out, as soon as she arrived, she asked me to go outside and help her bring stuff in from the car. The "stuff" she was referring to was your Aunt Becky (my best friend) in Arizona and her mom. I couldn't believe my eyes. I just stared at them for a few seconds, and then I think the first words were something like Holy Cow! (changed from original for your viewing). :)

What an awesome way to start the new year, and what a perfect Baby shower this will be. Your Aunt Becky is almost 28 weeks pregnant right now, so I really would never have expected her to be able to come out here. Your cousin Grace Maureen is expected to arrive somewhere around March 21st, just shortly after you.

Today, I had to go in to work, but I'm leaving in about an hour for yet another Dr. appointment and then to play hookie, go home & enjoy the company. I can't wait.

For yet another Surprise, Phil Grimes brought me in a huge gift bag with your name on it. I'll open it later, but what a sweet gift from him, Janet & Amy. They are so kind.

Okay, one more surprise for the day. Hopefully this will be it, because I'm not sure how much more I can handle. The guys (my elderly male co-workers), threw me a Baby Shower today. Complete with cake, a card, and a gift (the high chair from our registry). For a bunch of older men, that's pretty impressive.

We are so blessed with wonderful people in this world. I can't wait for you to meet them.
