my first baby (surprise!) shower (9F)

last tuesday, our colleagues on the 9th floor gave us a surprise baby shower lunch. you see, there are 3 of us expecting and they made this a joint event. and wow, it was a lot of fun!



i knew we were having lunch (4 of us from our suite; 2 of us are pregnant from the same office heehee) and i had an OB check up that morning so i was oblivious to what was going on. my other colleague though, g, had an inkling about the surprise as one of the janitors called her to ask if the arrangement inside the room was OK. "what arrangement!?," g asked. "e ma'am, may picture nyo nakadikit dito, 3 kayo. baby shower nyo daw ito e!" says the guy. buking! g just tried to dismiss it and told the guy to ask someone else hehe

surprise!


we had lots of food and games galore. it's my first and definitely the most memorable! :)





the first game was dress-up-the-bear. all 3 buntis were the contestants, with 3 guys as their "daddies." we had to keep one hand behind our backs so it was a challenge to put on the disposable diaper, onesie and bib! especially for a first time mom, i was the last to finish haha! and it was my first time to actually put on a disposable diaper on something ha. with my younger sisters before, lampin pa and those huge safety pins!





the next game was to pin the baby stuff on a clothesline. there was a wall of baby stuff mixed with other items and the contestants have to pick out the correct items to hang. it was a blast as they had their backs turned to the wall; some got confused and took a long time staring at the items, deciding which is which hehe









the last game (because it was already way past our lunch hour heehee) was the guess-the-spoiled-diaper game. 10 ladies had to guess what "poo" was inside each diaper. oohhh, this was a hit! of course, the organizers did not put real poo but the contents did seem yuck-y and the contestants gingerly opened the diapers and smelled them at a safe distance haha!





turns out the "poo" were ordinary food items: peanut butter, nutella, cheesewiz, mang tomas, etc. some had a hard time guessing as i think the diapers sorta disguised the smell a bit (scented daw e) but some had it figured out right down to the brand haha!

and finally, we get goodie bags yey! can you guess which preggy is having a boy? :)



this was one event that i won't forget ever! we thanked the organizers for an excellent party and their generous gifts. how sweet it is to be loved by all of you! :)
