Baby Shower!

Time to get the blog up and running again. 

We lost everything (a curse on you eblogs!) from the last blog, and it was a tough blow to get over.  We may have found some of it on the way back machine, but I'll get to that in another post soon.  

This weekend was my baby shower!  It was a wonderful time - thank you again Patty and Mom for all the work organizing and worrying over every detail.  It really paid off.  Btw, it did not escape me that everyone was hammered by the end.  Everyone but me.  Eight more weeks...

Stacie came in from LA and helped set up.  

Patty, Dad and Jason, three of my favorite people in the world, hung out before the party started (then the boys took off for the local bars) 
The family ladies: me (and Baby Girl Steinberg), Marietta, Mom and Denise 

I wore this as a baby!    Can't believe you kept it all these years Mom.

The very talented Laura (who is too pregnant to travel so attended via skype) knitted me a bunch of beautiful things, including this adorable hat and booties.  


There was delicious cake (I could talk about this cake for hours - chocolate.. buttercream frosting...) I insisted on a corner piece *with* a rose and almost went into diabetic shock.  Mmmmm sugar.  

Stacie brought these booties all the way from Thailand 

And Patty poured her heart and soul into her gift.  It will have a prominent home in the nursery.  

That's more than enough pictures of me and my chins.   Everyone was very generous with the adorable outfits and other necessities.  Babies sure do need a lot of shit.  

I've got to get back to writing the thank yous... and maybe have one more piece of cake.  Stay tuned for more blog goodness!

You don't even KNOW chins. You got nothing on me.

Your chin is as delicate as ever...I saw it with my own two eyes. Your baby shower photographer, however, is the real culprit. Hey wait, that was me!(sorry) I LOVED being part of your special day.
