I feel that I have to thank you for all the things that you have done for me in these last weeks of my pregnancy to keep me sane and as comfortable as possible. 

Thanks for putting up with all my moods, baby news, ultrasound pictures and appointments.  Since this is my 2nd child one may think that I may not get this much help or attention this time around.   Wrong – I am spoiled once again.  Maybe that is why I decided to have another baby so soon.   I am joking!!!  Come on now!  But you really do know how to make a pregnant women want to work right up until she is in labor.  Maybe that is your motivation.  hmmmmm
I am convinced that this is the greatest office to work in whether or not you are expecting, but when you are expecting – it’s even more delightful.  When I am on maternity leave I will miss someone offering to get me a glass of water.  Thank you, Jenny and Mindy for keeping me well hydrated.
Thanks Jenny, for bringing my lunch to the upstairs fridge every morning, and saying that I look pretty.  She’s so sweet.
Thanks to Serge who brings down my lunch bag at the end of the day for me. 
Thanks to Jess for offering to bring anything that is upstairs, down to me and for always checking in with me on how I am doing. 
Thanks to Mindy and Tracy who are constantly picking things up off the floor that I have dropped.  Paper clips, stacks of paper, my ruler, pens.  You name it, I drop it lately.  Thank you girls for that.  My back thanks you too.  Mindy even cleaned up coffee that I spilled on the floor the other day.   Can I take her home with me for a while?    Also, these girls will hold down the Customer Service Fort like champs when I am absent….. again.  Love you, girls!
Thanks to all the Blue Q mothers who have passed along maternity clothes. I have had a wonderful selection of clothing to keep me styling.
Thank you Mitch for splitting many avocados with me, making me little salads to go with my lunch, offering to bring me snacks, juice, and  iced coffee.  AND for asking me how I am but then realizing that maybe I have been asked that 100 times already and just saying, “Never mind.  You look nice today.” 
Seth has offered to have my lunch brought to my desk.  I have never taken him up on that offer.  I do need to move from this chair at some point in the day.  Sitting in one spot isn’t good for me either, so let’s not get too carried away.  And I am definitely not saying that pregnant women aren’t capable of all these daily activities because I know they are, BUT when your back is aching, you feel as big as a house, your hip is popping out of its joint, you are cranky, sleep deprived, and anxious that you may go into labor at any given moment……….a cold drink brought to your desk and a “How are you doing today?  You look great!” maybe just the thing you need to keep you going. 
I have also been spoiled in other ways around here and can’t possible list everything that everyone has done.  They have all done their part.  They say it’s takes a village to raise a child, but here it truly takes the Blue Q Family to get this Mama to her day of delivery. 

So before you send me home early today for a nap, just know that you have hearts of gold and I am truly thankful and blessed to work with you.   I knew that before, but you confirm that every day for me over and over and over. 

Sorry to gush.  It must be all the hormones. 
         Much love and thanks,
         Mama Nic & Baby
