Dear Peanut,

So it's already May and you just celebrated the start of your 6th month a few days ago. You and daddy are already sleeping and mommy is writing. I thought I'd thought I'd backtrack and tell you about your baby shower last September 16, 2017.



Initially, we wanted an R-18 "sausage" party with explicit content, haha. But since we have friends who already have kids, we couldn't get away with it. So we had a slightly R-18 "sausage party." We've decided to hold it at one KTV lounge here at the condo where we live for easier access. After so many back and forth discussions with your grandparents, we ordered some party food from one of your LolaMommy and LoloDaddy's friends.

Balls. Many, many balls.

Can you see what we did here? Hehe.

 We requested your NinangC and NinangP to host the games. They came up with two of the most popular baby shower games like the one below. They filled baby bottles with soda and the fastest who can finish wins the game.

Chug, chug, chug

 We also had this drawing game where the participants had to draw on top of their heads what they think you would look like. Some of our friends drew a baby with an afro. Some drew what looked like a fish. It was a bit confusing but it was fun to hear our family and friends explain what the hell they were thinking.

That's your NinongB having a hard time drawing how he thought you'd look like.

Oh, and we also officially launched this blog. We gave them the URL and they read the first few entries we published. We read two entries out loud: the first one was your daddy's "Pesky's Revenge" and I read the one titled "The First Time We Found Out About You."

We also gave panutsa (peanut brittle dessert) as event tokens. And some #DearPeanut memo pads that I designed and your grandparents printed.




All in all, it was fun. But we thought it was too quick. We had the place reserved for us for 3 hours only. When the program ended, people wanted to stay and chat. We had to politely tell them that we had to leave because the place was reserved the following hours, we couldn't extend.

I think, next time, we'd get the place for 6 hours or more. Or we'd just have a baby shower at a bar. After all, that's possible. :)

And of course, we had peanuts for pica-pica.
