When you are in on your surprise baby shower

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

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.

Thinking About a Name

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Well my husband in an effort to make me feel better about my whole best friend thing bought me a baby name book and told me to look through and jot down some names for our baby. It was so sweet of him to try to distract me. All I can think about is getting ready to try for a baby. 

Ok so anyways I am looking for a name. We managed to jot down some ideas and it was kind of exciting.

I am now filled with tons of hope for the future. Maybe this will be our lucky month.

My Husband is really excited. All he can think about is the baby and what having the baby will be like and how he is excited about being a Daddy. It is so sweet. When I see him with our friends little girl.I know he is going to be a great Dad.

 Well I am off to read my non-baby related book. I am really enjoying it.

 Goodnight
