Today wasn't easy, I'm not gonna lie...but, I'm also not going to complain about it anymore! So, on we go. Jeff surprised me this afternoon with a sugar cookie from Paradise Cafe and a pretty bouquet of flowers! I'm the luckiest girl in the world! I took pictures of said flowers, but unfortunately my phone is upstairs and I can't stomach the thought of walking up the stairs again. Thus, I will update this post or just add a picture after I have been upstairs for another reason.
Today, for the 4th time this week, I cleaned and organized my office before I left just in case I don't make it in tomorrow...although, who am I kidding? This girl doesn't want to go anywhere! Well, missy, you're gonna have to. You see, my feet are getting increasingly swollen at the end of each passing day. Today, Liza told me that they don't so much look like hairless Hobbit feet, but more like paddles :) And then Jeff was amazed when I was walking around barefoot in the kitchen that he could actually see the swollen tops of my feet move forward and then back (imagine a wave hitting the beach) with each step. It's really something.
Back to the office. So next week is spring break around here and a lot of people are preparing to be gone for the week (most don't know that tomorrow is my last day). What this means for me is...more presents!! One of the attorneys in the office brought us two adorable outfits and one of the paralegals that I work with a lot brought us two really cute sleepers. The best part though is that she also brought me an outfit to lounge around in! It was so thoughtful of her! And they're all bright and springy, which is nice to look forward to. So, without further ado, here is a brief baby-less fashion show!
My new outfit!
That a girl, be positive! The clothes are adorable and your lounging outfit is cheery. Have a good last day of work.
Just think a year from now you will be planning Izzy's first birthday party.
Now, I hope you two can get some much needed and deserved sleep tonight!
Hey, Tennesse will be on soon. The attorneys are all hoping UT will win. At least, you can occupy some time watching the NCAA tournament. We hope a Big Ten team wins the final game!
Leslie--Hi, this is Shannon Gregoire from Locke. Remember me? Sue and I were discussing babies yesterday and she told me about your blog, so I wanted to check it out. I'm so happy for you!! Baby girls are priceless. Speaking of baby girls, my 18 year old baby girl is expecting a baby boy who is due to arrive on April 11. Your blog sounds so familiar!! My daughter is so ready to meet her baby boy!! It's been a tough year for our family, as you can imagine, but ultimately we feel blessed that there is another life coming into our world, so all is good. I can't wait to see pictures of Izzy. I'll be posting pictures of my grandbaby, Brayden Allen, on MySpace and I'll send you a link when I get them on.
Take care sweetie and GOOD LUCK with everything!!
Oh Leslie, Isabella Grace is just beautiful!! You and Jeff are so blessed to have such a beautiful and healthy girl. I wanted to come and see her before you two left the hospital, but your Mom seemed to think today (Sunday) would be the best time to come, but unfortunately Jim has to get up early (like 2:45 A.M.) to go to work so I didn't want to ask him to bring me up there, even though I knew he would, but he would have been worn out tomorrow (he works 4-10 hour days each week). I wish I lived close enough to babysit! We should have a new addition to our family HERE,next month-a baby boy named Clayton James. I wish you and your family nothing but happiness for the rest of your lives! Give Izzy kisses and hugs from me.
Love you bunches!!
Aunt Sheila
