A good friend of mine and her husband are expecting twin baby girls soon. We had a work babies shower for them today. I wrote a little poem for the invite:
(Friend and Husband) are expecting baby girls.
Around them, a good wish from each of us swirls.

They’ll have sugar and spice
and everything nice….Twice.

We’re planning to gather on the thirtieth of March.
To shower them with gifts and eat some yummy starch.

Come to the (something) conference room to celebrate soon.
The party will begin at two in the afternoon.

We look forward to all making a happy fuss! :-)
They are registered at Amazon.com and Babies R Us.

The theme was two peas in a pod and I should probably disclaim right now that I’ve been known to go a little overboard with themes.

The rocket scientist/green lantern co-hostessed with me and I’m pretty sure a great time was had by all. There were games; there were prizes, and I got to play Vanna White a little bit, so you know I had a good time.


The mom and dad-to-be were joined by the grandma-to-be and her sister.


One friend of ours made this lovely diaper cake and a bunch of these cute booties for party favors.

Another friend was able to provide sage advice for the parents-to-be to share with their girls.

Thanks go out to my co-workers for all being such good sports and helping out and humoring me.

Special thanks to my co-hostess for doing such a lovely job on everything including talking me off ledges. It is possible I freaked out a tad when I realized I hadn’t made proper arrangements for a corsage (turns out I don’t plan around prom like I should). Her first response was to say words like epic fail and that the mom-to-be probably wouldn’t want to be friends with me after that kind of screw up. But then, Co-hostess McSmartypants suggested we buy a flower and had cute pink diaper pins so we could improvise. I loves her!

It turns out, I can be a little high strung about parties. Who knew? (hint: everyone).

Congrats, dad and mom-to-be! Ya’ll are great folks and I know you’ll be great parents!
