I wish I had a friend like this. I'm jealous.

This girl I'm "friends" with on FB (we went to HS together and that's about it) wrote this as her status this morning:

 

"Hey all...I'm throwing a baby shower for my best friend on may 1st. Not a typical shower though...gonna be partying at the dark room from 4-7! I'm hoping to have quite a turn out for her! Boys and girls all welcome...no presents needed. just come up to the dark room, have some drinks, and help the mom-to-be rock away her last few days of being a preggo!!! Gonna be a fvcking blast!!!!!"

 

Ummm....awesome.  I wish I could've had my baby shower at a bar...

    Can you imagine "rocking the night away" during the last few days of your pregnancy? I would die.

    When I was pregnant, "rocking the night" meant going to bed by 9:30 at the latest. The only time I saw 2am on the clock is if I was getting up to pee.

    Though a different side of the same card, my SIL's first baby shower was thrown by her mom who wanted it to be "laid-back" so she made it a couples shower. Unfortunately, none of the wives could make it except me an a new gf.

    With an uncle as a liquor distributor and about 6 fraternity brothers showing up wife/gf-less, it quickly degenerated to a frat party and SIL was the only sober one. I felt awful and my tipsy self even wrote down all her gifts.

    Needless to say, I threw her a very nice, quiet, girly shower a few weeks later from my H's side of the family.

    Me too! Let alone that it's in a bar...but who has a shower and doesn't get any presents?! what's the point? You 1) can't drink 2) can't "dance" (more like waddle) and then 3) don't get presents.  I would NOT be showing up to that shower! Wink

    I'm thinking that her best friend is on board with this whole thing.  I mean, like PP said, why would you want to show up to a party that has no presents and you can't drink at.  And WHY would you want to go to a bar when you're that preggo.  I guess she's not worried about cigarette smoke or the loud music.  Plus, when I was in my last days of pregnancy, I was miserable and wanted to just lay around.

    If she's already prepared for baby and just wants to rock out for one last time before she gives birth, more power to her!  From the text it sounds like this is an open invite so her family probably already threw her a private babyshower.  She probably just wants to celebrate the baby with all her friends and this seems like a great way to do it.




    however long the night, dawn will break.

    Yeah, I'm sure it's not her official baby shower.  I just thought it was pretty Klassy that it was held at a bar, that's all.  I'm sure it's just the crowd, you'd have to know the girl that posted it.  She works at said bar, so I'm sure it's just an easy way to get people together.  I just thought it was weird.

    Exactly! Also, going to a bar when I was pregnant was on my list of least favorite things to do. I hated drunk people (or even sober people sipping cocktails) back then.
