Two Minute Touch

It is a new thing that I made up this morning at work. I plan to feature it at my baby shower. 

As of right now, it appears there will be twenty to thirty of our closest friends and family there, so this should be interesting. A couple people I think plan on coming (including my mom and grandma) still haven't RSVP'd officially so that's why I am looking at a range of guests. I sent out a reminder email to my co-workers that were personally invited, but was hesitant to do so because I don't want it to be construed as pushy or demanding their presence or some such thing. But at the same time I felt I should send it so that I am not assuming people will be there when they won't.

 

Back to the two minute touch. As I have vented about before, people want to touch pregnant bellies. I still have not figured out why, but I have loved reading various forum posts about how other moms to be have handled it. I figure once everyone is at the shower we can have an ice breaker. I will call it the Two Minute Tummy Touch. The ENTIRE group present at the shower will have two minutes to touch my belly; all of them in the same two minute window. And after that the bump is completely off limits! Muahahaha!!!

 

Today I really started trying to get all the training materials in order for my maternity leave... I feel like I am forgetting something moderately crucial, and it is bothering the crap out of me. I'm sure it will come to me. I know that I still have time, but I am hoping that I have my back up completely trained up before mid-November.

Oh well, all that matters right now is that tonight is opening night for my boys and we are into the third period and we are up two to zip! Go Red Wings!!! :-)
