Wow, is all I can say about this weekend. It was a fun filled blast with all of my fave girlfriends in one place. So needless to say this pregnant girl is tired after all of the weekend festivities.
The weekend started out by one of my good friends, Heather , from Austin coming up on Friday night. we stayed up and chatted and caught up on life all with out little ones around to interrupt us. It was nice!!
Then up early the next morning to get ready to go to the baby shower. We show up at a beautifully decorated house with scrumptious food filled with people I loved!! And I had a blast!!! It was really nice seeing everyone that I haven't seen in months. I got some super fabulous gifts but best of all I got to start to catch up with everyone I hadn't seen in all of my morning sickness induced hiatus from life.
she is technically due at the same time as me, but only having one opposed to my two! :)
And then when the shower ended, Heather and I headed back to my place for a little down time to rest up for the evening. I also had to go home to see my sweet hubby and give him a kiss before he headed off to work and forgot what his wife looked like!! (He saw me a total of about 5 minutes all weekend!! I owe him some quality time big time!!) Then we headed back off to Jen's house for a sleep over of grand proportions.
So then the "toy party" lady showed up. Now for those of you that don't know, in my past I used to do these types of parties and had a blast doing them. So I had great expectations of what we were in for for the night. Now I did email this woman (who ended up being older than my grandmother) and told her the exact type of party I would like to have. I even went as far as telling her what products to show, I know a little high maintenance on my end but I knew what would be fun to see. Well I don't think she chose to go by my "short" version of the party. I told her I wanted it to be an hour max (including ordering) because we had other things going on and wanted to have a fun night. But she proceeded to do the slowest presentation on god's green earth. And instead of it being fun and light hearted it was a 3 hour lecture that had us all yawning and trying to plan different ways to stick forks in our our eye sockets because it sounded like more fun that what we were listening to. Needless to say we sort of booted her out int the end and I will be complaining to my old company about the poor representation they sent out when I asked for someone good.So after the 3 hours of torture (and not in a good way) we decided to sit down and enjoy a cute chick flick. Which we had a blast watching and seeing who was going to fall asleep first.
When it was finally time for bed we all gathered in Jen's master bed room (minus Jen who was sleeping in the other room with the guinea pig) to sleep on the three different beds we had set up in there. And in typical sleepover fashion we ended up chatting into the night until we all fell asleep, that is until the snoring began. So Megan and I being awoken for the nice sweet snores coming from two of our lovely friends decided in our sleep deprived pregnant minds that it would be a good idea to throw the cat on the bed of one of the culprits to see if it would stop the noise. And it did... for about 10 minutes.
So the next morning we woke up a little more tired than expected but still remembering what a good time we all had. Thanks ladies for making it a day and night to remember for many years to come!!!

MORTIFIED, I tell you, I am MORTIFIED about the snoring.
And grateful, I am grateful that two lovely if hormonally charged pregnant women let me off easy by assaulting me with a feline instead of strangling me with their bare hands. Merci beaucoup.
It really doesn't matter how many times I see the pictures or read the stories from this weekend: I get the giggles every single time. (I mean: forks in eye sockets? You're killing me.)
Not only did we all have an unforgettably fun time... we are all, each one of us, so over-the-moon happy about those two babies you're carting around. Absolutely cannot wait to meet 'em and welcome 'em to the world!
Oh, Lord, it looks like you had such a great time! And I don't know why, but I just can't believe that Amy Franklin snores! (tee hee!)
How in the world can you make a toy party boring? Hmmmm? That is just sick and wrong! And not in a good way.
