Auntie Ln and her conspirator, Daddy B., were plotting. I had no idea. I would put Mrs. Fletcher from that mystery show to shame, since I didn't pick up any clues or hints. Auntie Ln lured me to a local tea room that I just adore, with the story that she wanted to take me for a special "Sister Lunch". All my friends were in on this and no one leaked a word!!! What a special treat. When I saw everyone sitting there at the table, I said things that New Mommies should only say during labor. Ah well. It was delightful. Thank you Auntie Ln and all my friends for being there: Diane, (Annie), Sandy, Ln, Rachel, and Carol.

Crib and Bassinet
Daddy B. did an excellent job this weekend. In one day, he built the crib and the bassinet for Baby B. We hope to finish up the next few days with the dresser, so the nursery can be fully ready for her arrival. Lucky to have such a handyman as a husband! Thank you everyone, for helping to furnish the baby's room!

Baby Shower Bonanza!
Last Sunday was a very special day. Uncle Jack and Aunt Do hosted the most beautiful baby shower for our little Baby B. It was very overwhelming, the outpouring of gifts and excitement for our precious one who isn't even here yet!
As you can see in the pictures, the decorations were beautiful. Uncle Jack and Aunt Do went all the way in creating a wonderful party. At the main table, you can see the beautiful pink roses set in the center, with the fun baby clothes hanging from the chandelier. Seated at the table are: Annie, Ellen, Aunt Judy (Paul's sister), Cousin Peggy, Grandma's best friend Betty H. Ed's fiancee Abby, Grandma L., Annie's client and friend Carol P., Mom's friend Mrs. B. and Marmy R. Lunch was a wonderful ham casserole and spinach salad. Ellen made sure Dad kept the wine glasses filled. Dessert was yummy peppermint ice cream with adorable baby sugar cookies.
The next stage was opening of the presents. Everyone really went overboard in giving and we are so grateful to all of you. Lots of cute baby booties, burping cloths and fun gifts for the baby. Mrs. B.'s sister made the most beautiful homemade blankets for the baby. My favorite gift however, was from Marmy R., who is currently making a beautiful needlepoint that says, "Shh, New Mother Sleeping". Very special!
I cannot thank all the people who made this day possible enough; thank you! Thank you Aunt Do, Uncle Jack, Aunt Berry, Aunt Cathy, Cousin Beth, Marmy, Dad and Auntie Ellen. I know we'll have more parties and more celebrations upon Baby B.'s arrival and the British Team can also celebrate with us in person!!!
