There is supposed to be around 30 people there. I am supposing mostly woman. I am not catering it. Not even asked to be involved much in planning it at all because many and Cory know I havent felt well at all so they are just tickled pink I can go. Of course, I have bought them the crib and a bunch of clothes and a 2 of those vibrating chairs, on of which will stay at my house and one will go to his house. We have two walkers...one at my house and one at corys. We need two bouncers...and Jamie is supposed to bringing those. Plus a few other things. I think they have a swing or two. Maybe one fullsize and one travel size.
I kinda waiting to see what she actually gets from the shower to see what she really needs. I have tried to tell her let people know what she already has so that people wont get her duplicates. Especially clothes. Let people know you could really use clothes in the 6-9 months sizes. Or heavens...she could really go for them all to pitch in and get her a nice used dresser and paint it white and put little pink flowers on it! Probably wouldnt cost them 40 bucks total including paint.
I know she wants a new diaper bag unlike the normal ones they give to everyone who lives the hospitals here. Those are just plain back diaper backs and you really tell that you gave birth on medicaid...lol. I mean the Walmart ones arent much that 12 bucks but I guess it may make a difference to someone who has self esteem issues. If she doesnt get her diaper bag, I will get her one.
I made these little candy sachets and filled them with after dinner mints...you know, the multi colored ones? I filled 36 of those then I bought a set of 60 tiny plastic champagne glasses and I will fill them with a few pastel colored jordan almonds each.
if i can get them to actually commit to a name before midweek I will have that printed on all the glasses but they have to commit...lol.
