Last week I had the priviledge of throwing my work BFF, Christina, a surprise baby shower. I tell her just about everything...so keeping this a secret was a big accomplishment for me. :-) Believe it or not, it's only the second surprise party she's ever had! I appreciate that she didn't throttle me when she walked into her fake "meeting" and discovered a party instead!
Throwing this party was a ball! The look on her face made up for the fact that most people didn't contribute to the "group" gift. Losers!! Even if they didn't contribute...it didn't stop me from spending tons of money.
So, no one else get pregnant (you know, other than the 11 of my friends who are already pregnant- three of you with TWINS!) until my bank account recovers...mmmkay?!?!
Wow, in this picture...she barely looks pregnant!
My boss sprung for pizza for the group, and I got the cake. I'm a geek, but I'm proud of the inscription. Even if I did use a piece of baby bottle shaped confetti as a comma between "Christina" and "for"! (For the record, it wasn't until I read the cake that I realize that I truly am that anal about punctuation.)
Yes, I know it's a little ghetto...but we did punch in a bucket. Can I tell you all that I went to 4 stores looking for punch bowls?!?! This was my compromise.
It doesn't look like a lot, but I bundled things tight in that laundry basket! Onesies in sizes from newborn on up to 1 year, carriage toys, towels, wipes, binkies, swaddling blankets. I went NUTS!
I saw this onesie with a monkey on the butt, and had to buy it!
I think that both Christina's mom and her hubby's mom are both going to be fond of this onesie. :-)
Lastly is my little homemade touch. I made a baby blanket for the little one. I wish I had taken a better picture!
