Showered

Okay. Your long, impatient wait is over. I know I totally ruined your week last week by teasing you with hints of baby shower photos and then never posting any. Because my life is so entertaining and all-consuming for other people. OBVIOUSLY.

ANYWAY.

My sister sent me the photos she took. So, without further ado I present: The Shower.

There was food.

Artfully arranged, of course.

There was cake.

Specifically, this cake. YUM.


There was family*.

My mom, me, and my sister.

There were numerous gifts, many stories about babies and other things, quite a few probably inappropriate but nonetheless highly entertaining jokes, and laughter. Lots of that.

It was a good party. I guess all that's left to do now is for me to actually have the baby, right? Right.

Eek.

* Actually, there was lots more family. These are just the members of MY family that were there.

    Your TWIN sister? I have to comment on the beer bottle on the table. You do look MAHVAHLUS dearie. The man-cub will grow up having to have that peanut butter cake for his birthday every year.
    your sis from another mother/dad.

    Are we asking for too much....probably. :)

    Glad your pregnancy seems to be so easy for you. Power on.

    Anonymous: Do I, um, know you? Because I don't really get the whole "sister from another mother/dad" thing.

    As for my real sister . . . no, she is not my twin. She's four years older, in fact.

    I thought that "Anonymous" found you her spiritual "sister" so it's nothing creepy. But I could be wrong. . . Anyway, a man-cub gift going in the mail to you this week. Wish it could contain a Faribault Woolen Mill blanket but they aren't in business anymore, thanks to the recession.

    Woo! Shower with fancy cake!

    And, more importantly, it appears no one was serving quiche at your shower, which I absolutely appreciate.

    Why must baby and bridal showers always be a "brunch" involving hideous breakfast foods like quiche? Filthy.

    Your shower, however, looks perfect with its peanut butter cake and champagne. And you, dahling, look fantastic :)

    Anonymous has a name! No, Beth, I wasn't actually creeped out; I really did wonder if you were someone I knew in real life and that phrase was supposed to be a clue so I would know who you were. Anyway . . .

    RLS: I haven't yet had to get any different undetry. I'm not sure why this is, but I'm not complaining about not having to buy yet one more specialized maternity product.

    That cake looks so delish.

    For being due Feb. 22, you don't look that big. ... You're so luck you're having a Pisces.
