Plenty of tubey food was brought: chow mein, noodle salads, and the like. A friend of mine who owns a bakery even made me a "no baby shower" cake. Where the booties should've been was an iPod. There were shoes and purses where the pacifier usually goes, and she put my initials in the baby blocks. I thought it was pretty funny, as well as mighty yummy.
I was surprised how many friends wanted to come and celebrate the fact that in about three months, I will be infertile for the rest of my life. It's something I've been looking forward to doing since I was 20, and I'm glad friends wanted to celebrate with me. A ton of jokes were made about my barren womb, and inappropriate comments about the uterus were made. Only one thing was broken in the midst of all the fun!
Here is a pic of some of my lady friends enjoying tubey goodness.
All in all a delightful evening full of snacks and laughter was had. I was still a little crampy and cranky from the procedure the day before, but I laughed hard enough that those cramps didn't stand a chance. I am truly blessed to have such lovely friends.
It was such fun! I so enjoyed the delicious food and the great company. I had such fun chatting with everyone. Thank you for the invitation.
ReplyDeleteUhm, could that girl be shoving more food in her mouth? :-) Note to self - do not eat in near a camera!
You are welcome. It was so nice to see you. You'll have to come again for dinner so we can chat one on one. I feel like I didn't get to spend enough time catching up with you. Before I knew it you had to go. The night went by far too quickly.
ReplyDeleteIf you hate the pic I will remove it. I just thought it was a cute one.
The night did go too fast! I would love to do dinner one night (or even lunch or brunch). I think the picture is funny actually, but thank you for the offer. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love Sunday brunch any time. I usually go to a meeting early, then the farmer's market, and am home by noon. Just let me know when you want to and I'll make it happen. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was the greatest idea ever! I love it, and congrats to you for FINALLY getting what you've wanted for years.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ange! It was a long wait and I'm really glad I was able to finally get it done.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. Why shouldn't there be a no baby shower? In an environment of overpopulation your decision should be lauded. Hooray responsibility! Not that parents are bad people, it's just that the childless are better people. (Just joking, mommy bloggers, all yuk-yuks)
ReplyDeletePickleope, you just cracked me up, AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteI love all my mommy friends. I have just never been a breeder. Some of us are born to wander and spend too much money on shoes. Others were made to change diapers and go on play dates. Don't even try and wrap your head around the wandering mommies who spend too much money on shoes.
