First I have to thank the nurse at Ministry Saint Michaels Hospital in Stevens Point who called me yesterday after reading my baby blog to let me know that I would not be thought of as a hypochondriac if I called the clinic about things like my dizzy spell. She let me know that I should in fact call them anytime something feels off. In this case she told me to make sure that I'm eating and drinking enough, which could've been my problem because we were busy setting up for the fair I didn't get my midday snack so I didn't eat anything between breakfast and lunch. I really appreciate the phone call and I really appreciate the staff at Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point taking such an interest and reading my blog too. I'll say it again and again, I'm so glad I've chosen to work with them.

Today I'd like to talk about baby showers. My mom and BFF Felicia are helping me with my shower. My mom and I worked on invitations last weekend and she and I have both already purchased prizes for games we have yet to decide on. I am going to leave the game planning and the decorations up to my mom and Felicia because Josh and I have to focus on cleaning the garage and renting tables. The three of us and my sister and sister in law are going to work together on the menu though we're clueless what to make for approximately 40 people.

Here are some shower related questions for you:

Where should we rent tables from? (in the Mosinee/SP/Wausau area)

What games should we play? We are definitely doing gift Bingo and the candy bar diaper game, but we need one or two more to play (keep in mind 40 people)

What are some ideas for good shower snack food? (we're not doing a meal just snacks)

Where is the best place to shop for baby shower decorations?

Are traditional showers passe? I've heard of a lot of people doing coed showers lately is this the new fad?
