My first week off of work is pretty much over, but I feel like I have been pretty productive. I finished my Stitchettes. I just need to frame them. I have made some headway on the quilt. I just have a ton of appliqueing to do now. I put away all the goodies from baby shower #1, organized the kid’s closet (Tegan has more clothes than there are days in the year…unbelievable), wrote all of my thank you cards. I was also hoping to finish a few books before her arrival, but I don’t think it is going to happen. Oh well. I am happy with what I have accomplished so far.
I forgot to mention what a lovie husband I have. In the last two years, I think I have probably taken one bath. That might be the only bath I had ever taken since we have lived here, actually. I was given some bath goodies for my baby shower and I put them in the bathroom on the top of the toilet. That was a good place for them, apparently, because they caught a lot of attention from Shane and he decided to have everything ready for me to take a bath the night I got home from my last shift at work. He lit candles for me and scrubbed my feet with body scrub and then put lotion on them and my hansd after I got out. It was quite a treat and very relaxing and I have taken another bath since. It was very thoughtful of him and I enjoyed it very much. I wish I could be pampered every night!
I had a last minute baby shower today from my coworkers. It kind of seemed like they had forgotten me or that my last day had snuch up on them before they could plan anything, but on Monday, a few of them asked me if I could come in today for a shower. I didn’t really want to hang out at work, but it turned out to be so nice and I realized how many people really care about me. Lots of people came in on their day off and it was nice to visit and be there and not have to work. There was SO MUCH FOOD and good food. They gave me so many cute things (more clothes for little Tegan!) and many other things. Once again, I felt so blessed and a little overwhelmed. There just isn’t enough closet space for this little girl! There are a few things I think I am going to take back for bigger sizes or just more practical things if I can. I am such a lucky girl. And one more shower to go! The big one, too…I can’t even imagine….
The last thing I have to say is that I am addicted to peanut butter. Not necessarily peanut butter itself, but things with peanut butter in them. Especially sweets. Peanut butter M&Ms are the best right now. And then there are the Reese’s Peices Peanut Butter Cup Cookies where they are dipped in chocolate. Man. Peanut butter has been my downfall this pregnancy. And I just found out Girl Scout cookies were for sale and I didn’t get to order any. I would have bought so many of the peanut butter ones. The Girl Scouts missed out. Maybe they will catch me at the grocery store….
