First Baby Shower

On Sunday I attended a baby shower for the first time for one of my classmates.

The shower was held just outside of Charlottesville with a gorgeous view of the town.

The men-folk were forced to wear balloons under their shirts, posing as pregnant bellies.

I was amazed at how they all played along.. even for pregnant bocce ball.

That was the dad.

And there's the mom (nope, not a balloon under her shirt).

They were showered with some great gifts, while we were showered with three giant cakes (carrot cake, chocolate, and cherry-soaked cannoli cake).

She even got some more creative gifts, like this screenprinted squid onesie.

At the end, someone read "quotes from the night of the baby's conception," with the "quotes" being things they said while opening the gifts. It was awkward and hilarious... use your imagination!

We'll see if "baby fever" is catching, as they say.
