Sorry for the AW posts today; have been busy and haven't been around much lately!
DH & I hosted our "Meet Baby M" party/get-together yesterday morning, and it was such a success. I had lots of anxiety beforehand cuz M can be so unpredictably fussy at times. But he was so charming and happy yesterday and I almost don't recognize him, LOL. He was calm, smiling and cooing, and was happily content when I put him down in the swing for a while!
DH pitched in a lot by cleaning the house from top to bottom. SIL came over early to help me set up, and she brought cranberry scones. I baked blueberry muffins. In addition, I bought bagels/cream cheese, Trader Joe's ready-to-bake frozen croissants (OMG, they are insanely delicious), and b'fast sausage links.
We don't have too many friends here but almost all came despite a snowstorm the night before. One of the couples had IF and the wife is 39w pg - scheduled for c-section this week! We're so happy for them, and gave them a bunch of things that M had already outgrown.
We specifically said "No gifts" and were glad that everyone abide our wishes. They had already given M gifts when he was born and I didn't want them feel obligated to bring another gift for this party. All-in-all, we all had a great time!

Thank you all!
I learned about "Meet the baby party" on the baby shower board. Since I didn't have a baby shower, I thought it'd be nice to have a meet the baby party so we can thank our local friends who have given us so much gifts and support over the past months. Also, it is just nice to get all of them here in one single visit rather than multiple visits!
