Baby Shower....

Even though this is baby number 4 my friends up here in MD decided to throw me a baby shower! Tavia hosted it at her house, made a cake & cupcakes and everyone else brought finger foods....chips and 7 layer dip yum!, bagels and this really yummy bagel dip, muffins to die for, chicken cordon bleu bites & popcorn chicken! We sat and chatted most of the time like women always do! lol and we played the toilet paper game (get as much as you think will fit around my belly), there was a 4 way tie so each of them had to construct a newborn penis (since I'm having a boy! lol) out of play doh in 1 minute and I had to pick the "best penis" lol; and we played the clothes pin game (everyone gets 2 and each time you say "baby" and someone catches it they take your clothes pin; winner is the one with the most pins at the end of the shower). I got lots of great gifts including baby clothes, a bath tub, 2 breast pumps!!, a Starbuck's gift card! woo hoo!!, a really soft and cute monkey blanket, some baby and breastfeeding essentials, a Walmart gift card (who doesn't like those?!!) and Tavia made me a diaper cake! I had a wonderful time with a great group of friends!

Let the nesting begin!!

So I have had the recent urge to purge my house of all unnecessary things and rearrange the furniture...my only problem is that I keep starting various tasks and not finishing them =( I have bags upon bags of children's clothes that I need to get rid of as well as some of my own that I know aren't going to fit after baby Parker arrives...I'm such a packrat though and think "one day it will fit" or "one of the other kids might be able to wear this" but I'm such a shopping whore that I know I will buy more and more clothes than necessary and see no need to keep it all....alas I am in a pickle bcs I refuse to get rid of some stuff but know that I need to...I wish someone would just come to my house and take everything I don't NEED and get rid of it for me...any takers?!!
