A special party announcement!

Please, everyone, be seated.

Two of our friendly fellow BOLers, Pizzaz & ExGovtBabe, are present to announce their special news. So, Kiwi and I thought that it would be special to host a virtual baby shower for them!

They are going to have babies!!!!

The Virtual Baby Shower
(please announce your gift for them)

Scene: Hotel garden room, with pink and blue balloons on every table. Warm sunshine is cascading down on our two proud mothers-to-be.

Luncheon: Vichyssoise, Maine lobster salad, lemon asparagus garnished with some violets. For dessert, it is a luscious strawberry cream cake, also garnished with violets.

Beverages: Champagne (always a must with lobster salad); sparkling fruit punch, Pellegrino

The presents are scattered on an immense table… even though it is second babies for both… there are some huge boxes… and some smaller boxes… all wrapped in pink and blue… although, some of us know for certain who is having a boy…

Kiwi and DQ purchased a Peg Perego carriage for each of them…

And… ooooooh…. Aaaaaahhh!

All over the map.
I found Fisher Price Quick Response Baby Swings for both. They are just what I got for my own daughter, and I hope you both love them. Congratulations!!! BTW, the punch is yummy!

State of confusion
I have purchased for each of them, a nanny to change all dirty diapers and for those pesky 4am feedings. And as a bonus, she is fat and very unattractive as to avoid those uncomfortable situations!!

Congratulations!!!

I heart Beagle Queen!!!

Thanks, y'all! We're very excited that the Pumpkin (gender as yet unknown, check back with me a month from tomorrow) will be joining big sis Junebug in early December.

Hey gang! Thanks everyone! Like my friend EGB, we're very excited that Kyle will be having a baby brother. 2 boys! I've already told hubby that he can take them golfing when they're older and I'll be heading to the spa! My little guy is due 10/30 only 3 days after my other. I hope it's not the same day!

Congrats to you both!!

Beagle Queen took my answer, so, instead, I wish you both hubbys that will get up in the middle of the night and will stay home when the little tykes are ill. Mine does both and I don't know how I would have made it through the ear-infection winter without him!

Also, I'll throw in a years supply of diapers and formula if needed. And, of course, all the age-appropriate Star Wars toys for the big brother & sister

Finally, I virutally wish you both easy pregnancies and quick & painless deliveries

My sister-in-law makes these cool things that go over a grocery cart seat or a restaurant high chair - so your little one isn't touching any part of those nasty things. They're called Kassi's Kart Kovers - in honor of my baby niece.

What colors/patterns would each of you like for yours? And congratulations to both of you!!!

Now that is cool! I wish I had one when my monster was a baby!

Pam, When I saw you on Wednesday, I thought you looked a little bit like you might be "expecting", but, past experience has taught me never to ask that question! Congratulations to you and your hubby!!! EGB...Congratulations to you too!!!!

Congrats to both of you!!! I hope you have a fun and enjoyable summer pregnancy!

And...Lestie, I want one of those cart covers too! My youngest puts EVERYTHING in his mouth...is that a boy thing because my girls never did that (but then again they were attached to their binky ).

Each of you get a new diaper bag filled with binkys, baby wipes, bottles, rattles, teethers, wash cloths, hooded bath towel, travel pack of shampoo & baby wash, fresh bibs (I know what used ones are like), receiving blankets, onesies, plastic squeaky book, and other fun stuff! Each new baby deserves to not have to always use hand-me-downs! Congrats to both of you!

I got you each a new digital camera and printer so you can try to take at least half as many pictures as the first time around! I had always heard that but didn't believe it until my 2nd grandbaby came along. I'm always forgetting the camera!

DQ - we're not going to have to play that goofy "don't cross your legs" shower game are we? I always am the first loser. In fact, my legs are already crossed so I'm out. Think I'll just go get another mimosa!

No, there will be no ridiculous games or hats made of bows... We are all grownups here.

And, Mr. X, I am sure that was just what they wanted...

I am virtually sending each of you a massage therapist once a week to help with those nasty aches and pains that can sometimes come about as baby grows! (Okay, I know it's not for the babies, but mommy needs to be pampered!)

By the way, congrats!!! How exciting for you both!

Congratulations, I wish for both babies lots of virtual grandmas (and grandpas) with cuddly laps who will spoil them rotten.
