went to sarah's baby shower on saturday. she went home with tons of baby stuff. dr. larka & her mother must have bought the entire babyGap store. the little outfits were absolutely adorable, though. they bought two of these little squeaker things - the duck & the bunny. i swear sarah was having more fun with that silly duck than the baby probably will. on that page, there's a link that allows you to hear the sounds they make. the duck song is nearly as addictive as that damn hamsterdance song was. heather, the girl sarah works with now (since the freaky girl quit the day after i filled in), also bought a ton of stuff. my mother & i both got her things that were on her registry from babiesrus, which means we ordered it online through (*cough*)amazon.com(*cough*). it supposedly shipped out friday, so obviously it's not here yet. she's not due until may 28th, so i think we have plenty of time. it will probably arrive this week.
that's the second baby shower i've attended in my life.
... morechristina gave a small one several years ago for jennifer, a friend of ours from high school, when she was pregnant with her little boy. there were only about 6 of us there and it was very casual. sarah's was much larger and therefore more planned. baby showers are weird. yes, we had to play silly little games.
the first game involved a basket full of baby stuff that was passed around. after everyone had taken a look, you had to write down everything you could remember being in there. i sucked at this game. other than normal things like blankets, diapers, comb, etc., i had no idea what half the stuff in the basket was. heather won that game.
the second game was guessing what flavor of baby food was in the jars with the labels removed. sheesh. i don't even know what flavors of baby food they make, so i also sucked at this game. what i thought was pumpkin was actually sweet potatoes. pumpkin? i dunno. it seemed possible and i'd already guessed carrots for another jar. what i thought was spinach was green beans. i had no idea about the jar with the puréed brown gunk, which turned out to be oatmeal. my mother won that game.
in the third game, you had to cut a piece of ribbon off the spool that you thought was large enough to fit around sarah's tummy. mine was way too big. my mother won this game, also. her piece of ribbon was like one centimeter off, i swear. she's insane.
in the last game, everyone got a piece of paper and a pencil and we were then told to list as many songs as we could think of with the word 'baby' in the title. probably because of my horrible performance in all other games, i went blank. i kept having "baby you can drive my car" run through my head - which is *not* the song title, and "maybe baby" - which i think is buddy holly ... i wasn't even sure if that was the title or not. someone had "ice ice baby" on their list and someone else listed "baby got back." good lord. i don't even remember who had the most on their list.
which "monty python and the holy grail" character are you?
