Surprise Shower and Doctor Visit

Today, Jennifer's two partner teachers and 3 classes gave her a surprise shower! The kids were very generous, as you can see in the pictures below. They chipped in as a class and bought gifts, some individual students brought gifts, and they all made cards. They had punch, cake, banners...the works!

Here are the gifts and one of the banners....

Another banner....
And another banner.....


Here are the cards the kids made



And, I think Jen called this a diaper cake...??? It looks like a cake made out of diapers. It's really neat! She was so excited!


One of the teachers took pictures of the kids and gave them little sheets of paper. On the paper, they wrote words of advice to Madilyn. Some of them are so cute! Then, the teacher made a scrapbook with their pictures and words of advice. Jennifer was so appreciative!

We had our appointment today - however, we do not yet have a date set. Jennifer has not "progressed" enough just yet. Hopefully, next week. The doctor still acted like she is going to induce at 38 weeks. So - we'll just see. But her measurements, blood pressure, and everything was just perfect!

Oh - and I thought I would take a close-up picture of the letters above the crib...just because they're so neat!

I know Jennifer is supposed to be extremely tired these days....but am I? ***yawnnnn**** Guess I'm just getting a head start on the sleep deprivation. Bring it on, Madi! :)
