I did not plan on having a shower, some friends at work threw me a shower, we are doing as Jessica did a meet the baby party with our families. I love the name sprinkle. I say if you want to throw a shower go for it, but know that some of the invited might find it weird, perhaps come up with a cute saying about how this shower is for diapers and other necessities rather than cutesy baby gifts, but honestly who can say no to buying cute baby stuff.

so cute, we need more than one picture though.

Happy Anniversary Ann and Paul, who knew you would be celebrating with your daughter in California! I hope you two at least go out to a nice dinner and spend some time with Gwen, you're package for her should be there anyday.

Laura have a beautiful perfect wedding and enjoy Julie's yummy cake!

Danielle I think the talk you had with your bro was just enough for now and what an amazing FI you have for even calling your mom...my DH does not call my parents-he doesn't even call his own parents.

DC tickets go on sale on Monday morning, one of the girls I work with is going to try and get them. I can't go because its a thursday night and DH has class...I have to be a responsible parent now ;o(

okay as somone about 2 weeks away from having a child, I can understand not wanting tons of people at once in the hospital. Our parents have requested calls no matter what time it is-my DH's parents will not be here (our entire family lives on the west coast). However all my girlfriends from work plan to stop by the hospital and I will be happy for some adult time and visitors. your SIL sounds like a bitch and this whole I need to bond with the baby, yes so does everyone else. That bonding thing is really only discussed for the first couple of hours when the baby comes out when you are trying to get the BF thing going on. Anyway, as far as the shower, its actually against ettiquette that the family throws the shower because its like the family asking for gifts, friends are supposed to throw it. I think someone else asked this, but is your SIL young, she sounds very immature. I bet your Bro and SIL will be more than happy to ask your parents to babysit, so why the rudeness now, I think you might want to speak to your brother and give him a heads up how much your parents were hurt by their behavior and as your parents go, you should encourage them to be honest with your brother and let him know they will not be taken advantage of.

Kelly I am so sorry, that really stinks, my DH's parents are a little like this, but they promise the moon and never follow through. We are about to have their first grandchild and they went to Hawaii even though they said they they hate traveling (their reason for never coming to visit us). I feel your frustration, but at least they will be there for the big day and like someone else said, I bet they will have fun once they get there.

Tara maybe once summer hits you will have more time, it will be so hot there you won't have any thing else to do but sit inside and plan your wedding-and of course spend more time on BDW since you are not around very much anymore!

the 13th is just next Friday, can they wait? Otherwise search around and see who else made them, quite a few girls did.

Abbie he should be able to use his account balance, I have a paypal check card to make purchases, but in the past I have used the account balance to pay for something.

I don't have a canon digital camera, but we have the camcorder and we like it. We have a panasonic and sony digital cameras and we really like both of them. I have also heard great things about Nikons.

oh well then you are fine, I think its only the sacylic acid. Whew

I don't get it either, but we were getting the run around from most of our friends for quite a while. My BM's were even delaying their dress orders and it was so frustrating, I kept asking and they would say oh we're going tomorrow to order it...a week later the same story. I think it all boils down to the fact that they feel guilty and don't know how to deal with it.

I was doing so well the first few days and then really slipped, I guess I picked based on who I liked not who would make the press.

That and being a stubborn M F'er. ;-) Your power color: Bronze Interesting... Your power symbol: Half Moon eh? Your power month: August That's David's birth month...so sure! ;-) Ours is almost the same-when is your birthday-My DH's birth month is August too-weird.

Amy you are so blonde, I don't know that I have ever seen your hair so light. Your backyard reminds me of Lexy's, we had a lot of her wedding stuff in their backyard too. Ahh I am missing CA. Looks like a good shower, you're almost there!

okay I am suckin it up too...I just dropped Patrick Dempsey and swapped him with Jennifer Hudson, hopefully with the SATC movie she will get a few more hits.

sorry to freak you out Lisa, I have really just tried to cut out anything that might possibly be bad-in my thoughts why risk it.

I went ahead and moved your thread, the newbie area is only for your initial post. Sarah makes beautiful monograms, she is on vacation right now so if you want to try and make one on your own...here are some powerpoint instructions http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t8310

that is so crazy that the kept releasing her. I am so happy the second hospital took this seriously! I really hope that she is able to sleep and relax her body and nerves over the next few days. Please keep us updated.

that is so incredibly exciting! A double baby shower is perfect and who knows maybe you guys will be in the hospital together too!

Celina I am so happy this all ended with a happy ending for your family. Your sister is obviously jealous of your happiness and lashed out in a mean horrible nasty bitchy way. You are right to cut her out of your life and I hope one day she realizes how much pain she caused you and how much damage this could have done to your daughter.
