A First Time for Everything....

This past week I experienced many things for the first time...

1). Eating Lunch on an Exam Table at an Animal Hospital. (Don't worry, the Doc assured me that no one had used that room all day....hahaha)
2). Purchasing a stroller.
3). Purchasing a car seat.
4). Sewing a purse/bag.

Kacey and I had talked about brining lunch for the Crossroads Animal Hospital troops several times and finally decided I would surprise everyone this past Saturday. I made manicotti (one of the many famous Mama McCoy dishes), jello salad, and 7-layer salad (which incidentally had a handful of habanero pepper pieces because I mistakenly thought it was a mini bell-pepper...oops...added a little kick to the dish!).

Well, it turns out, Kacey was in on a plan to surprise me with a baby shower! So, Kacey, vet-tech Jodi (middle), and Vet. Dr. Sherrod (right) enjoyed a lovely meal and awesome baby presents while surrounded by Frontline and Heartworm posters, medical supplies, and X-ray machines.

Even some of the vet office clients pitched in! Above is a bear from the client who also made the cake (from scratch!!) and party mints. That clinic has the most loyal customers I have ever seen at any company anywhere. At least every other week Kacey comes home with something a client baked, grew, or crafted. People here are so sweet!

And I had to post a picture of our baby jogger and car seat!! How exciting! They work as a travel system so we will be able to start using the stroller even when the baby is only a few days and weeks old. A week from Tuesday, I will start visiting my doctor weekly to assess the cervix for signs of labor! Wow.....can't believe it is so close. We have a TON to do before our little bundle of joy arrives, so hopefully Baby Carr will choose to stay inside my belly until at least October! Kacey worked all day today on the baby room and I worked on sewing my diaper bag. I will post more pictures soon!
