Sassy Frazz Cyber Baby Shower!

I'm not entering for the games because I'm the host! But I had to help kick it off with this photo for Game #1 - sweetest picture of Daddy's first picture with their new baby. This can be a picture right at the hospital/in home birth, or just a few days/weeks old of the baby.

This is my DH and here is with our eldest son when he was a month old. It's one of my favorites. He's so sleep deprived. See the football? lol - Super cute. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy the games this week. Have fun! Here's a link to the games and here is a link to all the prizes up for grabs.

Go and have a look, if you left a comment maybe you won a prize! Thanks to all of you who participated. I hope you had a great time playing.

Maybe I'm Amazed - Day 189

Have you clicked over to the baby shower games yet? I love the game for the best, worst and funniest advice!

I have one for you - over the weekend I somehow did some serious miscalculations on our water bill! Long story short, while your preggers have someone else do your accounting. I'm so serious. I've made so many errors by not making deposits, not recording deposits made, paying the same bill twice, paying half the bill, etc... Lucky for me my dh is VERY understanding. He says I'm only like this when I'm preggers. Geez!
I'm thankful that he has a great sense of humor. ;)

As you know by now I have the pleasure of judging this wonderful contest and it is in my hands to choose the most sympathetic photo, the best baby bump and last but not least the birth stories. I had to get some help! If I have visited your site you will see a comment from HappyPanda aka Pamela Kramer. My enlisted help is AuntieEm aka Emily Sanderson and if she has visited your site you will see comments from her. This is tough! I would love to post some of the most memorable photos here but am waiting for permission from the owners. Come back soon to see who is in the running!

"Look at this baby!" I say
"Read the story!" Emily says

This is just one of my favorite bumps! And she doesn't make it easy either, have you seen her sympathy photo? Who doesn't recognize that look?

Sarah - bump or story?

Another one of my favorite bump photos! She looks beautiful. Another great photo is #54 and #21.

Cyber Shower Party Post

Emily says that I have to share since I am the hostess. I will share here on our product review blog. This is our latest family photo just after our Super Star joined us. What a year it has been. Now on to the shower and all the cool prizes! Since I am in charge of judging I'm not entering for prizes just sharing. But, you can enter to win! So feel free.
A few questions to comment on:
Pick three gifts that you wish you would have received at your baby shower.

My picks are the Diaper cakewalk because it looks so sweetly put together. You can disassemble it and use all the products after the shower is over. I would also have liked those bunny slippers! Those would have been so great to have at the hospital while having to walk around. Last but not least the Baby Signing Time! dvd set. We taught our son to sign a few words when he was younger but it would have been nice to know more so that would could extend our vocabulary.

Best/Worst baby shower gift.
The worst gift was a package of condoms. That was really just poor taste in my opinion and I didn't really take kindly to the joke. The best gift was a Johnny Jumper. My baby had a blast in it.

You can share your comments here because I would love to here your stories but they will not win you a prize. You can use Mr. Linky but you still have to post at 5 Minutes for Mom to enter to win because the linky box is from their site.

Olivia is here!

Janice has given birth to Olivia. She's here and they are both doing well. For further details please read Susan's post here.
