So I thought that next weekend was my babyshower. My mom was really upfront about it, telling me that she wasn't even going to bother trying to make it a surprise.
My mom is a liar!
Today, she and I were supposed to go to Portland to pick out my co-sleeper. We get on the turnpike when she "realizes" that she forgot her wallet. So, we have to turn around and make the long journey back to Buckfield. When we got to her house, I noticed all of the cars parked up the side of the street - I thought something had happened to her husband (although, she didn't seem overly concerned). It actually took getting out of the car and seeing Marty (who supposedly went into work early today) walking towards me while all the kids hollared "surprise!" to realize that I had been bamboozled and that my babyshower was TODAY! (thank goodness I took the time to shower!)
It was amazing!!! So many thoughtful gifts and so many people! We barely have anything left to get - just crib sheets, a car seat bunting, a boppy and that is about it (I think....of course, I would have forgotten some of the very basic things that we got today). So many thanks to everyone there - I love you all, and I know Baby Z will be better for just knowing you!
