Action Packed

Friday was my last day at work. It was stressful day of making calls and tying up loose ends. I was anxious and nervous to walk out for the last time. I had been there for three years and it felt like I would never leave. My coworkers were super kind and held a farewell lunch for me. They hooked me up with diapers and a gift card...I was shocked and very thankful for their support.

I knew when they were ordering a cake for me so I pulled rank and asked for TWO. This is a whipped icing white cake with pudding in the middle....YES.

And this beauty right here is a fruit tart with a creamy custard. Simple syrup all over that.

I got a picture with my boss. He was always awesome.

...and good humored.

Saturday we had a beautiful wedding to attend in Houston. Friend-Greg and Kristy got married! The ceremony was gorgeous! The reception was held at the bride's parents home. We took charter buses over there. I was very excited they had seat belts so I put mine on for the three minute journey.

Treating myself with a nice coca cola. Poolside.

Hot date.

I wish I had a full length picture in this dress because it was a huge pain the you-know-what to find. I had emotional breakdowns the whole week trying to find a black tie optional dress...in Beaumont...that fit my belly...and was not expensive...Well I done did it. This bad boy was at Marshalls and I got it for $12. I win. And the heels I wore were $13. I win again. And I did not get creepy swollen feet. Bonus. I felt like a "maxinista". I know, totally different store. 

On Sunday we came back to the Golden Triangle for our holiday/bump pictures in Downtown Beaumont, right next to our wedding reception area, like one block from it. 

On Sundays we wear blue. 

We reenacted this photo...baby bump style! So excited to see how it comes out. 

Our first proof!! 

All the while, Lily was sick again with the same thing (we think) as before. Water born protozoa, coccidia. So on my first day of retirement I took her to the stinky vet to get checked out. Dan told me that my first day was full of "mom" stuff. We had the vet visit, I had an OB appointment then we went to a breastfeeding class that night. 

Here lily is as a sheep dog, sleeping off the sickness.

 

35 weeks yesterday! Baby is growing and moving a lot! The doctor thinks he will be full term and 8 pounds. Our next appointment is in two weeks where he will examine me more closely to narrow down the due date and birth weight!! Yay Baby Dan! Can't wait to meet you. Baby time is coming and we are "all in".
