How can I ever thank my co-workers?
I got a package from my colleagues today, with a check in an amount more generous than I'd imagined. I nearly fell over, I was so surprised. My school has a "Sunshine Fund" for occasions like this, but I have a feeling that many people (there are 40+ faculty and staff) kicked in more.
Usually, when gifts are given for babies, weddings, etc., the recipient sends a thank-you that's put up over our time clock. But I want to do something else to really acknowledge everyone's generosity. I was thinking about ordering something from Edible Arrangments, but I'd rather do cookies or candy. Since my school is an hour away, and I'm now 35 weeks, I'd rather have something delivered because I'm nervous about being behind the wheel for so long. Anyone have any ideas?

What about having the local bagel store deliver a breakfast for your coworkers?
Also, I think Cookies By Design delivers... I've never used them myself. www.cookiesbydesign.com
So nice of your coworkers to take such good care of you!

In terms of ease for you and what can sit out all day and be fine to eat, I think i'd go with a bagel platter. A local bagel store and can prepare a whole platter with a mix of cream cheeses, fruits etc.
You sound like you have great colleagues! I'm sure they'll appreciate your gesture.

Re: How can I ever thank my co-workers?
As a thank you, I brought in a basket of fruit and some healthy snacks (veggies/dip platter) as a bunch of my faculty members are partaking in their own "The Biggest Loser" Weigh Loss Contest. I didn't want to completely sabotage their progress with goodies.
I agree a bagel platter is nice if you'd rather have it delivered.
