My sister-in-law recently wrote about surprises on her blog, so I thought I'd steal her topic!!! Thanks Kate! :)
So, my office at work planned to all go to lunch this past Thursday for Nicole's birthday! Of course I was in for a birthday lunch celebration! Little did I know that they had been scheming for weeks behind my back to plan a surprise baby shower. I walk into the restaurant and first see one person I recognize. I think to myself..."What a coincidence, Dee's here for lunch too!" Then I look around further and notice that I recognize everyone around me! Of course being the preggo lady, I got choked up! Also, I'm not used to having all eyes on me, so I was very overwhelmed! They had a cupcake cake that was made in the shape of an umbrella; it was so cute! It was nice to see everyone and they were all way too generous! Virginia got lots of cute clothes, toys, a baby monitor and a pack n' play!!! The ladies in my office did an AWESOME job being devious behind my back. They even got in touch with my Moma, so she was there too!
How nice to work with such wonderful and caring people! Guess with Miss V. coming I need to get used to surprises! I'm sure she'll have a lot of those for me and Joel!

Ramble On
Thought I would just do a little ramblin' this Monday morning!
Baby News: We have switched OBs and are VERY happy with our decision! The practice I was in had 7 doctors where you rotate through them. So when it's the big day you just get whoever is on call. Not really my cup of tea. Also, this big practice was a little too move 'em in and herd 'em out kind of place. I never felt like I could really ask questions; always felt rushed. They were nice, but I want to feel comfortable with my OB! So, after some online research and talking with various childbirth educators and doulas around town I decided to have a consultation with Dr. Aguayo, who is the chief of OB at one of the local hospitals. Joel and I met with her and she was so nice and open to my wanting to try for a natural childbirth! She's also very caring and doesn't have her hand on the doorknob waiting to leave! So, we've seen her twice now and are so glad we switched! I think we will both feel more comfortable having her as our doc on V.'s birth day!
Summer Fun: Well, I do my relaxation practice daily and like to pretend I'm on the beach or sailing on the ocean! I can't wait to take V. to experience the water!!! Anyway, since we aren't actually taking any big trips these days, we're finding fun around town. Friday we went to a concert at the botanical garden and it was very beautiful and fun! The band was Mambo Gris Gris, a latin-inspired band. Goodness, V. was dancing all over the place; she liked it a lot! For lunch on Saturday, we ventured out and found a spot called Another Broken Egg and it was delicious! Tonight we are going to a concert at the park to hear a popular local band, Band of Moose. So, nothing too exciting, but fun enough for me! :)
