Baby Shower # 3! Are we lucky to know so many great people, or what?

On Saturday, Steve and I had plans to go to his coworker Isaac’s house for a game night. These were long standing plans, although I had warned Steve when the plans were first made that it was after my travel window (I had declared a few months prior that I would not be traveling farther than work after Valentine’s Day).  The bad news is I woke up feeling awful that morning. I was aching EVERYWHERE and was completely exhausted. The good news is that Steve waited on me hand and foot until I felt better. I am talking breakfast in bed, getting me Tylenol and anything else I requested, making me a milkshake, making me lunch, working in the nursery as I sat on the couch in there and told him what I wanted done, and taking a nap with me (ok I took a nap, he watched I-robot). Since I felt better, I agreed to go to game night.

When we got there, I discovered why Steve wanted me to go to Isaac’s so badly. We walked in, and everyone yelled SURPRISE! I stood there like an idiot, looking confused, and said “surprise what?” Of course at that point, they let me know it was a baby shower for us.

You know, I thought something weird was going on when Steve called Isaac to tell him we were going to be 15 minutes late. I even asked him about it, saying that I didn’t think that you had to be at a game night at a specific time. I chalked it up to Steve just being weird, because I really didn’t even consider that Steve’s coworkers would have a shower that was a surprise for me!

The food was good, the conversation was good, and Penguin had a great time playing with Sam and Derby. I can’t believe how generous Steve’s coworkers were! They gave us such nice gifts – many of which were things that we need that we never would have thought to buy (yay mothers of young children who have learned from experience!)  We also got some of the cutest toys and clothes ever. Our boys are going to be living in style! We are so appreciative of everything everyone did for us! It was so kind of them! (I even had a peanut butter cheesecake made especially for me!)
