Baby Shower

17 of us are hostessing a Baby Shower for my sister.  I found this really cool What Will It Bee theme and since I haven't heard anything negative from the rest of the hostesses, I ran with the idea.  I thought it was going to be pretty cheap as I am doing a lot of stuff myself and I have things left over from the bachelorette party, but I guess it's a good thing I do.  I added things up yesterday and...well, lets say in order to invite and plan for over 75 people...it costs a little bit to plan.  Here are some cute bees I found at Michael's yesterday, along with yellow and black ribbon that I found on sale.

Sewing

Things I've made or am making.  I had to buy a walking foot, but it doesn't work on my Brother sewing machine, so now I don't know what I'm going to do. I guess get my old (larger) sewing machine out and have someone work on it to get it work again.  Then I'll be able to finish the quilts I'm making.

I'm going to be an Aunt!

For 35 years, my mom has called me (what sounds like) Aunt Vicki when she would start saying "Angela" and then stop and call me "Vicki". I always joked that someday I would be Aunt Vicki and it wouldn't be strange since I've been hearing it all of my life.  Well, it's going to be official now...in about six and a half months.

My sister and brother-in-law are pregnant and are due August 6, 2011.

I cannot explain how excited I am.  My sister has always wanted 4 kids and a yard full of animals. Well, 4 kids may not be an option at 38, but we've always giggled that we may be 'in line' for twins. Mom's side of the family has 2 or 3 sets of twins but none in about 15 years or so, so we'll see.  I know it's said that having twins isn't hereditary, but you never know. :)

They are not going to find out what sex the baby is and they aren't going to tell us the names they've picked out until the baby is born. This is killing me and my sister absolutely LOVES that!
