Glad it's over

That is all I can say about the shower. Actually, it went really well and so many wonderful women pitched in to make it fun. I made Oreo truffles for the favors and cupcakes for dessert. We had a few easy finger foods for our meal, the shower was at 3:30 pm so I didn't feel the need to feed everyone a full meal. The mom-to-be was so sweet. She really appreciated all I did. She even brought me a little thank you gift. I will be showing off my creations for show-n-tell this week.

I didn't break down at all, not even after it was all over. I do hate conversations ALL about birth and babies, and that is what baby showers are all about. So I mostly listened in and gave a supportive ear without adding anything to the conversation. The gifts were the hardest part, but I kept busy by making sure mom-to-be could reach each one and them I re-packaged them afterwards.

Thank you for all your supportive words. I have sworn off throwing baby showers indefinitely.

  1. Glad you made it through. I think swearing off showers for a bit is a pretty good idea :).
