Awful Pic...

Here's a pic of me at 36 weeks pregnant. I guess it pretty much reflects my state of mind right now. The caption would be: "Please get this baby OUT!"

Surprise at Work Yesterday ...

I forgot to post about this yesterday! My co-workers surprised me with a baby shower at lunchtime! They are very proud of themselves for managing to keep it a secret from me (at least up until the very last minute or two). People rarely manage to pull one over on me, so they have a right to be proud. ;)

Anyway, they gathered the whole crew and got us a TON of stuff off of the baby registry. Amy was upset that none of it was fun stuff... but believe me I was MORE than thrilled to receive bottles and baby bath.

The whole thing was totally unexpected, especially since two of my co-workers (Krystyna and Linda) were already AT my other baby shower this past Sunday. I really do work with a great group of people. Still trying to come up with an appropriate way to say thank you to all 18 of them at once. :)

Some New Pictures...

One is of Tom and me breaking the wishbone on Thanksgiving Day. (23 weeks pregnant)

The other is of the picture we put on our Christmas cards this year. The message was "Fetus Navidad" ;)

Our First Pictures of Benjamin...

this is going to temporarily throw off the layout of my blog, but I think it's worth it. :)

Here's the "It's a boy" confirmation...

And here's his little foot... look 5 toes!

A Picture ...
