Yesterday was the first day at work after most everyone had heard the good news. We figured that after our SS class found out, it wouldn't take long before everyone in the church would know, including, of course, all my coworkers.
And we were right. I didn't have to tell a SOUL yesterday -- they all already knew. And were real excited! In fact, we had our monthly staff lunch yesterday and when I got to the MPR (multipurpose room), there was a vase of 3 yellow carnations and 3 balloons tied to it -- 1 pink & 1 blue latex, with 1 mylar that said, "Congrats!". They also had a card for me that everyone had signed. It was really neat to read through everyone's sentiments about our good news. They also gathered around me at the end of the luncheon to pray over/for me and Jeff and the baby. It was so very special.
The office is literally buzzing with the excitement! The "office shower" is already in the beginning stages of planning according to one of my coworkers. Guess it's been awhile since they've had anyone within range of having a baby. :)
We will be well-celebrated, I have no doubt!
