Hilarity ensued.

There was a balcony with a beautiful view of New York City. The men at the party spent some time out there before the shower and later we went outside to open the presents.

Becky and Jon's Baby Shower 2012

Jon and Becky had their baby shower at one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn, Local 61. It was the perfect bar for a shower because there were lots of other babies and kids there. Take note, Brooklyn parents. It was a nice turn out. Lots of their friends came in addition to Jon and Becky's parents, their brothers and sisters, and two adorable nieces.

We enjoyed beers, snacks, and good conversation. We filled out a little baby guestbook/journal, played a little madlibs about the baby, and decorated some blocks for the baby. Good times!

Kevin and me out at the same time!

I can't tell you how excited I am for their baby! I already have babysitting loosely penciled on their calendar, depending on when Becky does her big trip with her NYU MBA program. Oh that's right, mom-to-be Becky goes to work, is getting her MBA, and is about to start mothering on top of all that. She can do it. She's run the NYC marathon. She's got this. Besides, she's got Jon, and he's going to be a wonderful father too.

Christina's Baby Shower 2011

This weekend I went to Christina's amazingly nice baby shower at Locanda Verde in Tribeca. There were tons of friends and family and they hosted a delicious bunch with multiple courses. Baby Hudson is going to be a lucky boy surrounded with so much love.
