I was pumped! It was great to have a free Saturday and do something fun and girly. Rob was away for the weekend on a camping trip with the boys for a bachelor party and I had an open morning. We agreed to meet at 11AM that morning and I was going to pick up her at her house. I was running about 5 minutes late and didn't want to run the risk of being late to catch our 12:50PM movie, so when I got to her house, I beeped the horn. Yes, I know, not the nicest thing to do for a friend, but I figured she would be on her way out the door. After a few toots of the horn, she still wasn't coming out. I left my purse in my car (with the doors unlocked) and ran up to her house to get her. As she opened up the door, I heard...."SURPRISE!" Doing what I do best during surprises, I quickly shut the door. I was so startled, I didn't know what else to do?!?
When I gained my composure, I opened the door to find some of my girlfriends throwing me a pregnancy party in my honor. A "pregnancy party" is a small gathering of girlfriends to celebrate your pregnancy. Instead of receiving gifts for the baby, friends do special things for the mom to be. I was absolutely stunned that all of the secret planning was taking place behind my back- I had NO clue. As we chatted over a beautiful brunch spread, I was absolutely stunned by everyone's generosity! I received gift certificates to restaurants for Rob and I to enjoy before the baby, gift certificates for massages/nails, maternity tops and gift cards for clothing. I am so blessed to have the nicest girlfriends in the entire world. I had the best time and was on Cloud 9 for the rest of the weekend.
Allison predicted girl (pink balloon) and I predicted boy (blue balloon)....winner will receive free chips and salsa during our next "real" dinner date at Chilis.
