My Non-Mormon Baby shower

This past weekend I had what I like to call my "Non-Mormon Baby shower", it turned out to be really fun even though many people that were invited/rsvp'd didn't show. I would like to blame the lack of attendees to the horrible weather that we had that day. Anyhow Nichole and Ronie who are pictured next to me threw me the shower and did a really great job. And they also provided 2 kinds of spiked punch that looked very good, everyone seemed to enjoy a drink at 11 am.

We played baby bingo in which they laid out many baby products on a table and we had 1 min to memorize as many as we could, then we had a bingo sheet we had to fill in with the products that we remembered from the table. Afterwards they selected random pieces of paper with a product on it and you got to cross it off. Since everyone got to fill out their own bingo card it made it so a little bit more difficult, anyhow I called Bingo first but let the others continue for the prize.

We also played guess the baby food, I'm sure that everyone knows that one. The 6 jars were passed around and everyone could either taste or smell or both to determine what they thought the baby food was. I was the only one there that had dealt with baby food in the past 5 yrs and I lost badly, Sue (bottom left) who was the oldest (but very young at heart) won the game and she doesn't even have grand kids!

Last game was the toilet paper game....my personal favorite and my choice. The most pieces of toilet paper that were selected to represent my pregnant belly was by Marie (top left), she guessed a whopping 17 squares! She lost! Liz (bottom middle) got the correct number of squares which was ONLY 13 squares...not to horrible. You can try and do it yourself to get an idea of how big I am right now.

I was given many great presents and all of them were so girly. It was very different from Harper's baby shower. Having a girl is just so much fun, every thing is pink and fashionable and of course adorable but I have so many 0-9mo clothes I don't know what to do. Side note, my neighbor Theresa (bottom right) was sweet enough to bring Harper some little cars so that he wouldn't be left out.

All in all it went very well even with the lack of ladies and I just want to thank Nichole and Ronie for a great shower and all of the great presents they got me, it meant so much to me!
