I got a donation from Rebecca Frahm last month for $150!!! Enough to do our next Project SAHM surprise! Thank you for your generous donation Rebecca and thank all of you who have donated to make this project possible!

Wow guys it’s been a long time! Nicole has lost my email address and while I was waiting for her to get her story to me, I had deleted her pictures off my camera on accident She sent me a picture of herself and her story, so with out any further waiting…here it is…

What a wonderful surprise for at the end of the day.  My name is Nicole
and I have been married to my husband for about 1 1/2 years.  I have a
8 month old daughter Aubrey, (my pride and joy).   I worked while I was
pregnant and knew that I didn’t want to stay home as a mom.  I wanted
to be a mom just not be the only thing that I did.  When my daughter
was born in March and I saw her, I knew that I couldn’t go back.  I had
a hard time leaving her with anyone, even family.  In the first two
weeks after she was born I was faced with a good case of postpartum.
My husband would leave the house around 6, and not get home until
around 7.  We lived with my family at the time and so I wasn’t alone,
but there is nothing like having your spouse with you.  I always looked
forward to him being home.  At this point I looked for a very low part
time job that I could use to help me with the postpartum and still be a
mom, I get to take her to work with me sometimes   My husband has
started school this fall and he is gone even more now.  But Aubrey and
I go walking the malls to get out and get away.  That evening my
husband and I went to the mall and walked around to see the new game
that came out that he wanted.  We walked out without buying it and I
made him go back and get it.  He doesn’t get things either… that is
when Melissa and Tammy approached me.  I was very leary at first, this
is a hoax and there is a catch in here somewhere.  When I heard that
she was on channel 5 the High 5 part, it kind set my mind at ease.   I
still couldn’t believe it.  This was a very good blessing.  I hadn’t
gained weight with my pregnancy… it all came after.  So like so many
moms, I had nothing would fit.  You live with the one pair of jeans,
(the rest sweats) and the five t-shirts that you switch between.  There
is nothing like putting on a new outfit that fits and makes you look
wonderful.  I was able to get a white 3/4 sleeve shirt, a red sweater
jacket, a black skirt and a necklace and earings set.  Melissa has a
wonderful idea.  Everyone needs a moment to fill special, and she
helped me with mine.  I feel blessed to be one of the moms that
Melissa spotted.  Thank you.
