Surprise!

The wonderful people that we work with arranged for us to have a surprise baby shower last Thursday (August 20). Greg was actually in on it, so it was only a surprise for me. He was just being dramatic for the camera (such a ham!). One of the engineers in our office, Laure, hosted the shower at her house. The turn-out was fantastic!

As you can see, we had alot of yummy food. Since Greg loves coconut, but I am not a fan, we had both coconut and chocolate-cream cheese cupcakes.

Although we did not play any shower games (which I am perfectly fine with), everyone got to guess the date of arrival for our little one. The dates ranged from September 15 (Greg's guess) to October 14. I am hoping for somewhere in the middle. Greg just does not want the delivery to coincide with the UF-Tenn game or anything fantasy football related. He would prefer a Wednesday delivery - ha! I will see what I can do. The guys from the FFB league all guessed their date based on when they are matched up against Greg.

People from the office went in together to buy us the William Sonoma Beaba Babycook, which is a steamer, blender, warmer, and defroster for preparing baby food. This will come in very handy for us in the future. A few people got us something extra - we received two swaddling blankets, a ring toy, and a teddy bear. We are lucky to work with such a great bunch of people!

I will post 34 week belly picture and pictures from the Columbia shower (August 22) in a separate post. I still need to download them from my camera!
