Last weekend was Linzy's baby shower, given by Anna Lyn, Susie and Emily. We are SO appreciative of all the hard work that went into making the shower so special - and so grateful to everyone who came for their generosity. Baby Nathlich's room is filling up and our house is starting to look very ready for baby's arrival.
For those of you who were too competitive to guess based on the one picture of Linzy posted last time - here are a few more and the results of the Old Wives Tale game played at the shower.
Jen came down from NYC for the weekend, and here are Susie, Anna Lyn and Emily who planned all the details of the Nursery Rhyme shower.
This is the amazing diaper cake Aunt Emily and Grandma Nathlich created. We are considering telling the baby that he/she will need to bring it to college with him/her - we can't bare the idea of taking it apart. Such a request (demand) wouldn't send him/her into years of therapy, would it?
Here's Katie - super champion of the "Don't-say-the-word-Baby" game. She managed to catch people involved in conversations all the way across the room. Her 5th grade students must never be able to tell a secret!
And here is everyone trying to decide whether 15 Old Wives Tales predict a boy or a girl - and then trying to figure out how they best apply to Baby Nathlich. We'll save you the work - the results are below.
These Old Wives Tales say that Baby Nathlich is a girl:
1. Mom craved sweets during pregnancy.
2. Baby's heart rate is over 140.
3. Dad has not gained weight with mom.
4. Mom does not have headaches.
5. Mom likes Orange Juice.
6. Mom will not eat the heel of a loaf of bread.
7. Mom craves fruit during pregnancy.
8. Mom had morning sickness.
9. Maternal Grandmother's hair is not gray.
10. Mom's feet are not colder now then they were before pregnancy.
11. Mom is carrying like a watermelon.
These Old Wives Tales say Baby Nathlich is a boy:
1. Mom picks up a coffee mug by the handle.
2. Mom is carrying low
3. Mom's extra weight is out front
So the Old Wives seem to think Baby Nathlich is a girl - but the vote at the shower was a pretty even split. Don't forget to guess the weight and date of arrival too!
