Warm Fuzzies

I know that as we are all approaching (or have approached) the climations or our pregnancies, we are so over being big, swollen, and talked about at work, etc.
I think we could use some warm fuzzies.
I have a couple from this last week that id love to share!
I work in a dairy plant...in the lab...and I've been the talk of the entire plant. Lots of people joking about my size (im only 4'11" and ROUND). I have a good sense of humor so it doesn't bother me too much.
Well, two of my lab coworkers set up a baby pool.....$5 to be able to guess a day and time when Baby B will arrive. Winner gets the pot! I saw the final tally and the pot is up to $500! Wow! 100 people in the plant decided to play. Whp doesnt like a little competition? The best part is that they presented me with a $250BRU gift card....and the winner gets $250. How thoughtful!!
Then yesterday, I was whisked to the office where they had a surprise mini baby shower for me...planned by my supervisor! She collected over $400 and they got me the swing, monitor and bath set that I still needed to purchase! They had food and cookies and everything, too! I was so humbled and almost cried!
I feel appreciated greatly and was.told that I will be missed while on ML.
Anyone else have some warm fuzzies as they near the end of this long journey?

Re: Warm Fuzzies
Gotta remember that after stepping on the scale this morning.
Eta: also even though I'm just so anxious to meet our girl and am dying to have an outside baby, it has been so cute to watch DH get anxious to and him talk to my belly telling her she needs to come out so he can meet her and snuggle her.
Yesterday at work my coworkers threw me a surprise baby shower potluck (I thought it was just a potluck). We got a bunch of gift cards and some cute outfits. It was a very unexpected surprise. Oh.... And I got all the leftover cake!
