I totally did not expect a baby shower for a fourth baby but have now had two (one from my co-workers and one from friends) and was spoiled silly at both!!! Totally made this hugely pregnant, hormonal, swollen, hot and tired momma feel special (I will remember this in the future as I have friends pregnant for the 2nd, 3rd, etc times!)
Anyhow - one of my shower gifts was a pedicure certificate which I will be promptly using tomorrow during my lunch break (shower was yesterday), and the one I am most excited about is the one I am using tomorrow afternoon - a friend is coming over and is insistant that she will be coming over to vacuum, deep clean my bathrooms and kitchen (scrub cupboards and baseboards - all white btw -ack!) - it was hard as heck to say yes to her but she was so insistant and since just had a baby in spring so she said she knows full well how hard it is when you want to get those things done and haven't had the body to do it for a few months - isn't that the greatest idea for a gift (her time) - that is another thing I will be keeping in mind for the future - how easy that would be to do for someone in their last month of pregnancy - it is hard to receive a gift of service though- I am struggling with it but am willing to do it since she was so insistant (and she is a sahm with 4 kids between the ages of 5 mo and 8 yrs (6 yr old has autism) so I know she has seen a messy house and will likely feel right at home here with our "clean but lived in" look
