Baby Shower

We had my work shower last Wednesday. It was so much fun. I got to see a couple people that used to work with us and I don't get to visit with much anymore. The food theme was Italian- our favorite. We played three games. I LOVE games and my favorite is p.ictionary. So of course we played L&D p.ictionary. There were three non-nursing people plus La there and they were all speechless as we drew things like perineal massage and bloody show. It was great! Pics below. Anyone care to make any guesses??




This was a really cool gift I thought. It is a bush that blooms in October when the baby is due and there were all these little tags attached with wishes for us and the baby. And the card was implanted with seeds, so you plant the card and flowers grow. Now that is recycling. All cards should be like that!


My sister surprised us with a video camera. We are so excited! Now we can make movies of our little peapod.
We are have belly pictures done Thursday. Trying to figure out what to wear and what props to use. One group from my work got together and gave us a first year baby plan from one of our local photographers. Very cool gift!
33 weeks tomorrow! wow! We have another CB class tonight. Those have been interesting. If I had to do it again, I would have been kept quiet about what I do when that question was asked. It is a hard line to walk when people ask me at break or after class.. 'does my doc/midwife to this or that?' I want them to have all the information, but it puts me in an awkward place. And then one person phrased a question last week with a preface ' no offense to you' talking to me and then asked her question to the instructor. None taken, believe me. Tonight is supposed to be more 'floor/pillow work', so I'm looking forward to that.

How fun ! You know you HAVE to give up the answers to the cards. That is hilarious.
I need them to be drawn in sequence and I think I might be able to come up with the answers.

What a NICE sister you have.
Can't wait to see the belly shots.
