Baby G is on the way!

This past Sunday my sister in law and her mom threw a baby shower for one of my best friends, Jill. Jill just happens to be my sister in law's sister. Jill and I have been friends since I transferred down to Towson University in 1998 and she is actually responsible for me meeting Brad. Jill's sister, Jen (my now sister in law) married Brad's brother. It sounds kind of strange, but it is in no way incestual! Jill's nursery theme is giraffe's and polka dots, so the shower theme was also giraffes and polka dots. My sister in law and I are very much alike in the sense that when we plan and throw a party, no detail is spared. The decorations were adorable and the food was delicious. My father in law and Danita made the cake below. Not only did it look perfect, but it tasted amazing too.


Jill and Jen's fun aunt Jo Jo decided to spice up the shower with a gambling pool for the baby. I have never in my life seen a baby pool or any other pool for that matter so organized. The buy in was $5 and we needed to select the gender, weight, height, birth day and time. Jo will be compiling all of the bets and putting it up on a website for all to view. My prediction is a girl, born on Feb. 11th at 3:33pm. I think my guess for weight was 8lbs 12 ounces and 21 3/4 inches long. I have been 100% accurate in guessing the sex of all of my close friends babies. Now, I'm not saying I'm psychic or anything, but I do have strong visions (only when it comes to this though!) I predicted my friend Jen was having a boy, my friend Elizabeth a girl, my friend Amy a boy and from the day my sister in law and brother in law announced they were having triplets, I knew it was going to be 2 boys and a girl. I had predicted my friend Erica was going to have a boy and the night before she had her C section, I had a dream of her walking down our street pushing a little blonde curly haired girl on a tricycle toy. Sure enough, she had a little girl and she has the most adorable blonde curly hair. Initially, I thought Jill was having a boy, but I am pretty confident it is a girl.
I'll keep you all posted! The official due date is February 6th.
