So last night was MNO dessert night! After a week of being a bump on a log (I only left the house twice, to go clean the office) I finally was motivated to get off my rear end
and do something (sure Echo's prodding helped get me out)
This time I wasn't so concerned about trying to dress decent (having to clean the office again before heading out kinda killed my options) and didn't even bother with my hair. Lori Sue (Thank You!) came and picked me up at the office and we were off. After a minor delay searching for her MIA DH, we were on our way. Sweet thoughts of chocolate and good company made the trip seem like only minutes.
As we walked into the designated location and followed the hostess I was concerned we were a bit late. Then we turned the corner and there they were, the mommies sitting at a table with balloons and gifts for the little princess! I couldn't believe they would do such a thing for me!
It was actually hard to hold back the tears since I am such a hormonal mess, but somehow I managed. The mommies bought such cute things! I can't wait to put her in all of the little outfits and even the Chlorine-free diapers (who knew normal diapers had chlorine?)
I am so excited to be having a girl! And I am so blessed to be prepared on such a limited budget. I blame it on Karma. I wanted to hold onto all of Little Man's clothes and such but knew so many mommies in need I kept giving it all away. How could I hold on to them when I knew there were babies being born without any clothes? I was actually so very worried I wouldn't have anything at all for Princess! And now I have just about everything! Someone gave me all of the casual clothes (hand me downs, I love them!) and now we even have some new outfits and dresses!
Oh and I forgot to mention how absolutely divine the dessert was! I was so in heaven last night! I'm afraid I made a pig of myself, but hey I'm eating for two right?
And I am so thankful for the mommies. They truly are such a blessing. I don't know what I ever did before I found them. It actually made me feel a little bad since I have been so lazy and missed so many activities lately. But they've been pregnant before, I'm sure they understand.
