Yesterday my mom and I co-hosted a baby shower for my sister, I’m guessing there were about 30 or so people there. Mister and I did all the cooking for the party, Mexican food of course. And with 30+ people in attendance EVERYTHING went. The only thing left was salad, a bowl of rice and one flauta. That’s it.
My sister’s new “in-laws” had to make three trips (four people) to the car just to bring in all the gifts they bought for their first grandchild/nephew. And the MIL still forgot the car seat at home! lol It took her almost an HOUR to finish opening all the gifts she got! And to see her boyfriend load up his truck was amusing, too. When I texted her last night she said they dumped everything in the living room of their apartment but had no walking room so two hours later they were STILL putting baby things away! At eight months pregnant I know she was tired. Hell I’m not even pregnant and I was exhausted! lol
So now that’s behind us, Sis is offficially on maternity leave so all that’s left is to wait for her to go into labor. Her last delivery was by c-section so with my nephew (I’m so not use to saying that) she’s going to do VBAC and now we’re waiting for labor to begin. I’ll be in the labor/delivery room with her and B because she’s not sure how much he can take or how much of him SHE can take while in labor! lol So like I said, now we wait.
On another note, the Naughty Party was fun. I spent over $100 and booked a party for November, my sis and I will be co-hosting it and we chose Nov so she won’t be pregnant anymore. lol And she informed her boyfriend that when we have the party he’ll be babysitting all four kids! lol
Oh man I drank for the first time in three weeks this Saturday night and felt like complete shit yesterday morning, and I didn’t even drink that much! In three weeks I turned into a light weight. Niiice. Even Mister said he felt like shit. lol But I’m happy to report that even though I went out and had a few drinks I survived the night without smoking! I even hung out outside with the smokers and didn’t do it. So today marks my three weeks without smoking and I’m feeling pretty damn good.
How was your weekend?

You see, I don’t know enough people to have a good baby shower. (look at me talking about it and I aint even pregnant yet. lol)
I’m so, so proud of you for not smoking. It really is hard. I didn’t think I would make it in vegas.

I’ve never been to a baby shower. Do guys go to those things?
Wait, we did have a baby shower for a coworker once and I brought something. I can’t remember what I brought though.
Good job on quitting smoking. You’re kicking ass!

Nikki, I could totally eat Mexican food daily if given the chance.
Craze, you need to buy the stripper pole fro your bedroom! lol
Chris, that was the big test & I only survived b/c I didn’t over drink! lol
Thanks, Valerie!
Dixie, they ARE exhausting! I hope my sister doesn’t do it again any time soon!
AuntieG, what do you do, then, for new parents to be? I totally think you need an “I survived” shower!
Heidi, I’m glad I wasn’t the one having to put it all away! lol
Carrie, we never have a shortage of party attendees. We’re Mexican, that’s how we roll.
Jay, my cousin had a “family baby shower” that was just a Saturday afternoon gathering at my aunt’s house w/everyone. It was really nice, I enjoyed that alot. They had beer. lol
Thanks, Beth & Aimee!

She’s 8 months pregnant already? It seems like it was just yesterday when you first told us. Shit, time flies.
