Oh, I forgot to mention my baby shower in my last post, so I'll do it now. Last Saturday, my mom and sisters threw me a baby shower for all my friends and acquaintances here in Las Vegas and it was SO much fun! The Friday before the shower, my mom and I made hand-dipped strawberries and they turned out awesome! My mom wanted us to do chocolate dipped ones, since I know how to work with chocolate, but I convinced her it wouldn't be a good idea, since we had such a large quantity of strawberries, and chocolate is not only pricey, but unless you have the right equipment, dipping a large quantity of anything can prove VERY time consuming and tough, since you'd have to stop every few strawberries to re-temper to chocolate...and we were short on time. SO, what we did instead was buy those Wilton candy melts (since they look and taste just like chocolate but are a zillion times easier to work with) and used those to dip the strawberries, and they turned out awesome! See, who said laziness doesn't pay off? ;)
The shower the next day turned out awesome! My mom busted her bum the night before making me two cakes for my shower and that morning her and my sisters cranked out all the rest of the food and decorations before all the guests showed up. And a special 'thanks' to my awesome MIL for bringing over a yummy veggie tray and giving my mom and sisters a break! They TOTALLY appreciated it!
I got LOTS of gifts and it was so awesome to see everyone. Some of the people that came to my shower I haven't seen in a very, very long time, so I got the chance to catch up with them. It was cool to see all the support and love I have from all my friends, and they all bought me such awesome gifts! I am now 100% set and ready to have this baby! I have everything I need, it's so great!!! So yes, the shower was a HUGE success and it was SUCH a blast, I enjoyed every single minute of it! When I get the pictures from my mom, I'll post them up. Thank you to those of you who came to share in my celebratory day, and thank you for your love and generosity! I just can't wait until my sweet little bean comes along!!
