Whoo hoo! Normally I am down for a good party and I don't mind hosting at all, but I must say it is such a relief to have this party over with! Even though I have had, what I would consider, an easy first trimester thus far the added work and stress of hosting 60 people Saturday night was not treating me well. The party came together fabulously, my sister and I did a great job (if I'm allowed to give myself a pat on the back). We turned the Mr.'s man cave of a shed into a beautiful 50th bash. I am kicking myself now for not taking pictures, if I can track any down I will share for sure.
I think the most stressful part of the whole party was trying to keep this baby a secret still. One more week until we tell the parents and all hell breaks loose, which at this point I am really looking forward too. This is where I confess that I am a horrible secret keeper, on top of that this was a pretty large family even with approximately 30 of my aunts and uncles and I had a pretty hard time keeping my mouth shut. They all wanted to make small talk and chat about what was going on in my life, etc and of course there is this HUGE thing happening that I need to keep quiet about. On top of that many of my mom's sisters who I am actually very close to know that I will have at least 1-2 drinks at a family event so trying to come up with reasons why I wasn't drinking wasn't going so well. I am pretty sure at least 3 of them figured it out but at least they were nice enough not to question it. I am so excited for the people I love to know about the little babe, but I am absolutely dreading how crazy my mom is going to be about the whole thing. Next weekend will be a doozy for sure!
