- The baby shower was awesome due in no small part to the hard work of this blogger (who rescued me in more ways than one starting with her pointed empathy and shower game take-over), and this blogger (who called up and said, “Are you totally stressed? What do you need me to do? Never mind, I’m bringing food!”) and my sister (who made prizes and notecards) and OF COURSE Carmen at Surly Girl who emailed me and said she would take care of everything so stop worrying!!! Also? Cupcakes! Surly Girl cupcakes are the best ever!!! Oh and Carmen? Took one look at my panicked face and brought me over a blueberry lemonade drink of some kind that took the edge right off, lemme tell YOU.
- More baby shower awesomeness included the arrival of Thorn and Lee who I really need to see more because I think I love them. Also getting to see Pennie’s friends again, who I’ve technically known as long as I’ve known Pennie (we met them all the same day), especially Sam, who is lovely and is Madison’s designated BabyDaddy, so christened by Pennie. (I love that!)
- Pennie was gorgeous (see pic below) and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen her in a dress! She carries her pregnancies well even though she is about tired of being pregnant.
- More goodness from the internet came via presents from Susan (whose gracious gifts choked Pennie up seeing as how unexpected they were), Julia (who whipped up a beautiful baby blanket, no problem and included a fancy bracelet for Madison, which was much appreciated!) and Suz (who may have sent the high chair to the wrong address but whose encouragement is extra-laden with love).

So jealous! Wish I could have made some food or offered my services (of what, I don’t know).
Pennie is so beautiful!
AWESOME! Pennie sent me her address and Rich will mail it out this week for me. Sorry again about confusion!
Agreed with Julia. While I never believed that pregnant woman glow crap when I was pregnant, Pennie is so gorgeous in that pic. She radiates.
Cheers.
Thank you thank you thank you. It was so great to meet ALL of you, and Lee especially got a lot out of it.
I mean it — I love you guys. I knew I’d love you but couldn’t tell re., Lee ‘cuz you know, she doesn’t blog. But I love her, too!!! Come back and play again!!!
I meant to send you a little note for her. So sorry! Looks like a big success. Much love to you all. xxoo
