Don't worry, we didn't actually BBQ babies. Hamburgers and hot dogs only. Hubby and I decided long ago that we wanted to have more of a party-like get together for family and friends instead of a "shower" because, we wanted to do something different and something that the women, men and children in our lives could all help us celebrate instead of just chicks....which is just as fun, but seeing as how this is our last baby, we figured why not do something else?
Everything worked out great! We had about 80 people here all day, dropping in over the course of 4 hours....kind of like an open house! It worked perfectly! There was even more family and friends we would have liked to invite, but we had to make a decision about where to draw the line. We went with first cousins and aunts and uncles. Now, most people would say, well, "DUH" who else is there?!? Lemme tell yah...I not only have 2nd and 3rd cousins, but I also am lucky enough to say I have 4th, 5th and 6th cousins as well as great aunts/uncles and great-great aunts/uncles....believe it or not, its the truth! So, hopefully nobody was offended and they all still love me! :)
We received such beautiful gifts, it still blows my mind! Just to name a few: Bassinet, car seat, stroller, flat screen monitor, diaper cake, bumbo chair with tray, baby gate, bathtub with all the accessories, tummy time mats, diaper bag, bibs, blankets, mobile, diapers, wipes, first aid kit, money and many gift cards!
We totally feel over joyed with all the wonderful gifts people bought for our new baby, all the support they have shown all three of us over the last 7 months, and all the love we feel everyday. Thanks to all of you, you know who you are!
Oh yea, and for the duration of yesterday/last night I experienced Braxton Hicks contractions. Wow. Can't believe I forgot what a contraction felt like. Now I'm shaking in my boots all over again.
All we need now is a baby. C'mon Gummy Bear....we all want to meet you!
:)
