First week of mat leave was amazing - I got some sleep and was able to spend a ton of time at home with the fam. I have to admit, I do miss my work peeps but being able to rest has been incredible. Lugging this boy around is proving to be a bit tougher as time is moving along. 5 more weeks to go until the due date so maybe 6 pr so more weeks till Jax? Anyone's guess at this point. This sweekend was unreal, so much fun and all my favorite people. My mom and friends planned and executed the sweetest baby shower of all time and we were ridiculously spoiled. Jaxon already has way more clothes than I've ever had and they are ridic on the cute scale. My oldest friend jacquie got me this necklace - something I really wanted but couldn't quite find the right one - and it is so perfect I never want to take it off. And in even better news, Jules went into labour today and it looks like baby Cole will be here before we know it! Havin a best friend on mat leave at the same time is going to be too much fun. Plus she can help me figure this stuff out :) Swollen face, feet and hands are becoming a reality but with our last pre-natal class on Thursday and the crib all put together it all means our baby boy will be here soon and we cannot wait. Oh, add a birthday pool party to the end of the weekend and that was one of the best times ever. I am such a lucky lucky girl to have so much love sent my way. Thank you everyone who made it so special!! Post on some of our absolute fave gifts for baby coming soon! Xo

you guys!!

today is my last day of work! our midwife, jimmy and i have come to the conclusion that a little down time is sorely needed before the babe arrives. momma needs some sleep and to mentally prepare for what's going to go down in about 6 weeks! i am incredibly lucky to have such a supportive group of managers and co-workers who have taken this decision with the best attitudes ever although i am sure it means more work for them with me gone so quickly. anyway, they're the best and i am SO grateful. 

it's a little bittersweet for sure, it's been almost 4 years of coming in to the same place every mon-fri and seeing everyone that i have become friends with and learned so much from. Proximity, i will miss you!!

oh and if the look on my nephew's face in the photo above doesn't melt your heart... then you got some problems friend.
