May 21st, the Sheads threw us a STL baby shower for all our friends and family! The theme was the "Newlyrents"!! Talk about some fun games...we had a "baby toss" where everyone lined up and tossed a baby back and forth until you dropped it then you were eliminated...guess who were the first two couples out...yep me and todd and my sister and tom! haha. I blame it on the pregnancy clumsiness....not sure what happened with my sister..she claims it was a bad toss by Tom :) Meghan and Guy managed to win that game with an impressive last toss!! Then we had to "toss a baby" in the rings...and the further away the rings went, the more points you got...Matt Shead won this game...but he made it up....did he practice at all?? hmmm :) Finally we played the "newlyrents" game...sort of like the newlyweds game where the girls had to answer questions about the guys and vice versa. so it was Todd and I, my parents and his parents. My parents took the crown, while Karen and I still question why the heck Todd and Mike answered some of the questions the way they did! haha. (wine cork...really!!?) :) They also had some great food, diaper cake, elephant themed cake like the babies room, we got awesome gifts, and they had about 10 buckets of cotton candy that I think I ate in about 2 days :) lol. I think my favorite part of the whole thing was Golden Boy Matt Shead's prediction of what Baby S will look like. They took a picture of me as a baby and todd as a baby and merged them together...you can see the picture on the side of the cake in the pictures below....hopefully baby s turns out that cute ;) haha. Flash also did a great job his first time (and hopefully not his last) MCing the reading of the cards!! Thanks again to all our family and friends that made it, we had a blast and I still hear how it was one of the MOST FUN baby showers people have ever been to :) the party didn't end till 3am! :) Sheads, you rock!!!
