Last Saturday was my baby shower (yes, I am a week late getting around to writing about it, but I wanted the pictures first). Linda, my best friend in Memphis, hosted the shower at her house. If you ever need a party planner, give her a call ~ she throws a great party (she also helped out with my wedding the day of... couldn't have done it without her!).
Everyone had great fun...
taste testing the "mystery" baby food ~ i won, with 4 out of 5 right
guessing how big my belly was ~ Mukti was the closest by far!

and of course, the ever popular fight for the most diaper pins. it was shaping up to be a fight between Brandy and Maureen, but in the end Brandy took the prize!
Linda also had a raffle - whoever brought a package of diapers was entered to win. I should be set for the first month now (I hope!) Maureen won that fabulous prize...a Target gift card and no, it wasn't rigged!
Of course, the goal of the shower was accomplished. I received many gifts that will help out tremendously with Julien ~ clothes, bath items, sheets & blankets, the pack 'n play, toys, etc. etc. A big thanks to all!! and yes, thank you notes are on the way:)
While we all had a good time, in some ways, the event was bittersweet. Many of my friends that were there also work(ed) for Harrah's and have all been affected one way or another due to the announced closing of the office.. laid off or having to make the decision to move to Vegas or stay behind and find other employment. I am grateful to have so many friends show up to support me, Guy and Julien!

Great photos! It looks like you had a lot of fun, especially playing the baby shower games. Who's idea was the theme for your shower? I would have enjoyed being in attendance at this shower. Fun... fun...fun.
