Spa Day, Shower Day, Birthday...I am Spoiled!

Well, this month should be renamed Tracey month with all that has happened. I have to say that I have the best husband in the world and the most amazing friends who are constantly making me feel blessed...and spoiled. The Tuesday following my maternity leave, Shane sent me to Le Spa Sereine for an expectant mother's package. They massaged me, used reflexology on me, fed me, gave me a facial, pedicure, shampoo and blow-dry. What a day!

Then on Friday, I thought I was going to a girls' night at Nicole's, but a few ladies had gotten together for a surprise pre-baby shower! They stocked me full of first week amenities that I didn't even know I needed! Thank goodness for other mommies! Shannon gave me a potty training book with the main character's name being the same as the one we have chosen for our little monkey. So thoughtful. And the pictures are...how can I say this...breathtaking? I'll show you when you visit!


Monday the 21st was my 26th birthday, so Shane took me for breakfast then we went shopping for my birthday BBQ. Here are a few pics of my wonderful friends who stuck out the cool weather in our backyard for my sake. I love them all...

Ben and Sarah, Nicole and Jeff...

Brian and the Fijian mask...

Ryan and Lori...

Candi and Colin with Calin and Emmi in the background...

Beth with my ice-cream-cake-eating-BBQ-master-redneck Shane...

and a combo of my lovely lady friends (Beth, Rachel, Rayael and Candi).

Here is Shane practicing for his life in 6 years...mmwaaah ahh aaahh...

Also on my birthday, my good friend Paola agreed to take some pregnancy pictures for Shane and I. I figured that I wouldn't feel like taking pictures any closer to the due date, so I am so so so so glad that we had them done. Here are three of the pictures she took and I can't wait to see the rest when she has added her artistic touch.



Well, our original due date is in 2 days, but the official date is June 4th, so keep us in your prayers as we approach D-Day. "D" for delivery, of course. I can't wait to introduce you all to our son! Any day now! And thanks again to my wonderful husband and all of my friends who have taken the time to celebrate my birthday and be excited for baby with me! God has blessed my life through all of you.

Hello! I just popped in to see what you’ve been up to lately. I can’t believe you’re almost a Mum already. Good luck with everything, and a happy belated birthday too!
