Baby Shower

On Sunday some friends threw us a surprise baby shower. I knew that this was going on and Mindy had a few suspicions (I am not a good liar I guess) but neither of us knew the details.

All of the details were covered - cars parked away; people out of sight so we did not know who was going to be behind the door. When Mindy saw her friends, balloons, cake etc she started to cry...so I guess it was a surprise for her! Our best friends from the area were all there with their kids. A total of 12 adults and 16 kids were there so it was a full house.

Assorted games were played - drinking beer from a baby bottle; passing a baby doll around without using your hands; cutting a string as a guess about how big Mindy's belly is (winner of this game - me! I guess I had an advantage). Some finger food, a few drinks, some lovely gifts and a cake rounded off the afternoon. I think everyone had a great time, we certainly really appreciated it, particularly Mindy, who was the main "attraction" of the day. Thanks to all involved and a special thanks to Holly and Gary for pulling it together and hosting.

Today is actually the due date...still no sign of anything so the wait continues.
