When you are in on your surprise baby shower
I must say , I hate surprises obviously that’s why my Husband and I found out the sex of our baby so I could know what to expect.
I was visiting my cousin a few weeks ago and I happened to catch a glimpse of her calendar and it said Sunday April 5th Annie’s Baby Shower well unless she has another cousin named Annie that I don’t know about I am assuming that Annie is me. So hating surprises I confronted her about it and infact this is my baby shower day.
The next day I went out to the theater with my mom who I knew was most likely in on this. She said ” Oh we should go see South Pacific” I agreed and looking at the dates available in April noticed that April 5th was one of them. I nonchalantly said ” How about the Matinee on April 5th?” her face went a little white and she looked over at me and I broke into a huge smile ( I am a horrible liar!) she said ” How did you find out????” I laughed and said I had seen it on my cousin’s calendar. She then proceeded to say “well is that all you know” and I said yes.
About a week passed and again my mom and I were out in the car. I had mentioned that my friend hadn’t gotten her baby shower invite yet! and my mom proceeded to say ” I don’t understand Nanny sent her another one” and then she said a poop swear word and said ” Augh pretend you didn’t hear that!” I laughed and said I wouldn’t tell.
Since then I have been in on my baby shower and my mom finally told my Nanny that I know about it. But I am sure it will be wonderful all the same and I feel better knowing about it. I HATE SURPRISES and being bombarded by them although I know this is something I am going to have to learn to accept at least I can plan to wear something nice and get my hair done for the shower even though I have to play chauffer to my friend and her mom on that day that’s ok.
On another note, went to our midwife appointment and everything looks great.
