Shower Baby A With Love And Presents!



 We Had A Baby Shower!

I did it. Passed the major milestone of Baby Shower. We waited until week 38.. which was a bit un nerving.. but totally worth it. The shower invite is how majority of the extended family found out, and so we pushed it back until we were pretty much waiting anyday for baby A to appear. It went so well! My wonderful Mother-in-law and SIL planned it and threw it and it was a success. 10am brunch theme… full of delicious things like quiche, hash brown casserole, and deviled eggs among other breakfast foods. I gave myself the day off with checking and ate. Everything. Yum. Games were really fun and non lame. Two sea themed ones that went with my shower.. Count the sea creatures fastest and correctly, and then name 30 sea animals in teams of two. Those were fun and light ice breaking games, then my favorite: teams of four… each lady had to have her purse. We sat in a huge circle with a chair in the middle and my MIL read off an item and the team had to find it in one of their purses and get it to the chair first. There was much throwing and jumping, some falling, lots of laughs and screams. Some were really obscure items too. A Walmart receipt, prescription meds, a paperclip, three lip glosses, etc. I sat out and watched my highly competitive friends and family duel over purse contents. Winners were declared and then presents. They went much better than I thought they would.. seeing as being the center of attention is not my favorite. I got a lot of loot from everyone for baby A and I cant wait to use some of it when he gets here any day. Hear that baby. A.n.y.d.a.y. Come on. After the shower we helped straighten up and then drove back down to our house to unload and set up more of his nursery. It’s a pigsty currently with boxes and laundry everywhere… but we have a cleaning lady coming on Thursday and I want something to do while she is working so I will be in A’s room getting it all put together. Then he and I are going to have a serious talk about his impending eviction.
