Not again

My best friend is throwing us a baby shower. It's going to be small, intimate, coed, with booze, sans games, and generally as unlame as possible for a baby shower. She throws the best parties ever, so I know it'll be fun.

I talked to my SMIL about this today, and asked her for a guestlist. We talked in length about the event being small and intimate. She just sent me a list, it has 21 people on it.

It's like the wedding all over again.

Shoot me.

  • I still can't believe you're 31 weeks!

    We find out gender tomorrow, hopefully.

  • For some reason I feel like you have been pregnant forever sucrets!  I feel like you guys were preggers at the same time.

    Lpstl....oh noooooo.  Too bad you can't have 2 showers.

    I'm just a few weeks behind ac and the baby of the E pg crew.  It does feel pretty long, I guess.  But sometimes I can't believe it's 2010 already!

  • Heh, Sascha, I actually turned down a separate shower she wanted to throw for me today. She's super sweet, but his family treats showers, bdays, weddings, etc. like family reunions. It's uber awkward to sit around with a bunch of women I don't know and open gifts they got for me.

    Sucrets, I'm calling girl. Since tide had a girl, and AC and I are having boys, you'll need to have a girl to even us out ;).

    Roxy, don't try to steal my thunder damnit.

  • laine - your logic makes sense, but we shall see!  I've been thinking boy, but that's from stuff that I've read.

  • Um, when I went to click on this post it said the last comment was "110 days ago by sucrets" Hmm..Did I travel to the future?
  • I kind of have a feeling it's a boy too ... but since I had a feeling I was having a girl, it further supports my girl theory for you ;).

    What time is your apt?

  • roxy - apparently you did!

  • When my SIL had a baby shower there were 75 people there.  Thats how many were total at my wedding.  She did get a Bugaboo though...although it got stolen from her car while she was at work.

  • Goodnight!
    We'll be anxiously awaiting
  • See, I wouldn't have asked for a guest list.  I would have had my H tell me which family members he thought should be there.  Since it's small and intimate, you would only pick the ones you're both the closest to.
