My cousin Jen's baby shower was Saturday. Her first child - a little girl - is due on March 19. Her sister Joy is due at the end of March and their sister-in-law Megan is due April 9th. Wow! Anyhow, Jen lives in San Francisco so I hadn't seen her since Tom & Megan's wedding in 2005. Jen looked great! I wish I had looked that good ANY of the times I was pregnant. We only played two games - we decorated newborn diapers with markers and we competed to see who could make the most words out of the Baby (Lastname). My mom won. Then Jen opened her gifts - lots of darling clothes, homemade blankets, towels and bibs, and plenty of toys. Next - snacks. Chocolate cake, peanut butter chocolate brownies, chips, veggies, chex mix and pop. Lorene had fun playing with her (second?) cousins and even felt comfortable enough to let Jen pick her up. Jen assured us she completely intends on using whatever pain relief is available for her delivery. I can't wait to hear what she names the baby - I think Sadie would be cute personally. My aunt thinks Jen and her husband are leaning towards Irish names so we might have a little Saoirse or Sinead or Niamh in our family.
