"Surviving the 1st Trimester" Party




Mom (or Gigi as she is soon to be called) threw us a lovely luncheon yesterday in celebration of surviving the first trimester. We are officially past the first 12 weeks but I'm still waiting for the day when I will wake up and feel good. The nausea is better than a couple of weeks ago but we're still battling it most evenings now. Ugh. I'm told it will all be worth it in the end, though. :)

Thanks, Mom, for the fun luncheon yesterday and for Lil' Saf's gifts. Lil' Saf got some very cute socks and a fun rattle from Aunt Jenn and Uncle Josh and a darling little fuzzy lamb that makes all kinds of soothing sounds from Gigi and my dad (who has yet to pick out a "grandpa sounding" name). Dakota is IN LOVE with the lamb and is convinced that it should be for her. We're having to keep it out of her reach! And great-grandparents, Mimi and Grandaddy, got mama some good smelling Mama Mio Tummy Rub for those pesky stretch marks. The directions state you should "baste yourself like a Thanksgiving turkey." So, here's to basting! Thanks for a fun afternoon everyone! Lil' Saf sure does have a great family!

congrats on the 2nd trimester! it is such a good one, and i know you'll enjoy it. tell dakota that big brother riley STILL hasn't figured out why his room hasn't been painted and decorated and why our new "puppy" has so many wonderful toys. (and he doesn't) ;)

was your party complete with lunch box meals under the dining room table??

Haha...No, silly Jill, lunch box meals only come out the day before school starts in celebration of the new school year. And we only ate UNDER the dining room table occasionally when we were little. We long outgrew that, but the lunch box meals continued all the way through college. :) Aren't those mama Gipson traditions fun! I think we're going to adopt a few of them.
