My friends, who are awesome, threw me the best surprise baby shower ever. The decorations were Batman-themed. There were games that were actually fun and not creepy, and cake that was delicious and also not creepy (and I'm not sure that's even the worst of the cakes I've seen pictures of), and lots of other delicious food and presents. And they made the geek boy's version of a hope chest and pregened character sheets for Smidge in all the different systems. And Chuckro got to go too, because a bunch of my friends are guys and so many of the guests were guys including some of the people planning the party. Because here in the 21st century, men are allowed to be excited about babies, too, and that's awesome. And it was perfect. I don't think I could have planned a party that would have made me happier if I'd planned every detail myself. And I'm all wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket of feeling loved by a bunch of really wonderful, hilarious, caring people.

Slightly incoherent post is slightly incoherent. But really touched.

aww. When do we get to learn Smidge's stats?

Which system? We've got Mage, Vampire, Call of Cthulhu, D&D, Paranoia...

I only remember how D&D works

Aww. Sorry I missed it! (I was a little coughy and didn't want to risk infecting anybody)

Understandable, and kind of appreciated. You weren't the only one who had to bow out because of the horrible cold that's going around New York, if it makes you feel any better.

Awwww! What was in the geek hope chest?

Sorry, phrased that poorly--I meant that the character sheets were the equivalent of a hope chest.

It was really fun and I hope you had a great time. Wish we could have stayed the whole day!

I did have a great time. I wish you could have stayed, too, but I was really surprised and delighted and touched that you made it up at all. Thank you--it was wonderful to see you.

So happy to share the day with you! Wish we could've stayed for longer, but many **hugs** from afar to you and Smidge. :)

I was so glad you were able to come!
