Ok so MAYBE theres no such song, but I feel like there should be.. especially after the AMAZING surprise baby shower I had this week!!!
Thursday night I went to our growth group (solo as Brett had to work and it was supposed to be Girls night and I THOUGHT everyone was going to go get manicures or pedicures) even though I was feeling a little under the weather and SURPRISE!!! all the girls were there (no boys, with one little cute exception- Brodie- the newborn son of Cody and Kate) with tons of food and presents!!! They even jumped up from behind the couch- it was AWESOME!! I love surprises!!
Nikki, the growth group leader, had let on that I really really should come, when I emailed and said I may not because I was feeling sick but man am I glad I did!!!! I am so blessed to have these girls- they barely even know me but went out of their way to make the food and decorate and get us gifts!!! WOW!! If thats not Christ like... well I dont know what is. They are so giving and kind. I was a little bummed about not having a baby shower before the baby- so this was kinda like that cup runneth over thing- more than I could ask.
I got some REALLY cute clothes (Nikki, Katie, Kate, Sarah, Brooke- ok so Im glad Im having a girl because everyone loves to buy for them! LOL), hand made burp cloths with matching swaddle blankets (made by one of the dads!! lol who I call Mr Mom- Brodies dad), a gorgeous hand made blanket (from Sarah- imagine a beautiful, younger, nicer Martha Stuart), DIAPERS yea!!!- thanks Alicia, cute little bow headbands- so no gender confusion..it was great!! We laughed and shared lots of stories- I loved hearing info from Moms, both first timers like me and those who already have a couple "under their belt" so to speak.
Sarah took Pics so I will post some after I get them :) really it was great- total estrogen fest so Brett wasnt too sad he wasnt there LOL.. actually not sad at all?? strange.. lol...
Dr visit went well, baby is fine and kicking and growing!! Shes probably around 6lbs 3oz now?? maybe more.. lol.. love that little chunker!! The white blood cell count is still up which they think is just the infection hiding but the Anemia is gone!! woo!! I still have to take the iron but that makes me feel MUCH better about my spleen and kidney function is good so hopefully no long term damage. My general care Dr will see me as soon as the babys born (hes ready to start fixing me LOL)- he said he will give me a week... lol...
Scotts (Bretts brother), is offically at sea, Ryan (bretts brother) and Dania (cousin) are safely in Peru somewhere, and PaPa is still in the hospital but doing better- they believe this problem will be remedied this time and he will get to come home soon.
My Mom and her finacee may be able to come visit for the birth!!! thats exciting, we are talking about it now but it would be AWESOME to have them here to welcome the baby here... (ooops almost typed her name!!!)
Brett is doing well, but running into some pretty big frustrations, please keep him and work situations in your prayers.....
God is so good!!!
Come visit soon!
Love
Michelle, Brett, Gma Myers (and soon to be......Baby BAYER)
