Entry 1: Welcome to Meagan's Baby Shower

 
 
CONGRATULATIONS MEAGAN & RYAN!
 
 

Hello All!
It's great to "see" you again, especially for such a wonderful reason!  Everyone loves babies right?? Please let me introduce myself.... My name is Kristin and I will be the hostess for this exciting event however, I am relying on all of you to participate in this event by leaving comments for Meagan!

This is my first Virtual Shower... I make no promises but as you know Meagan and Ryan live in Boston and all of their family and friends are elsewhere.  Geography will not bring us down!  We will prevail and throw the most exciting and fun shower in spite of location challenges.  And if you happen to be bored, at least no one will see you rolling your eyes.  Disclaimer: I have a 3.5 year old and a 3 month old so I'm going to try and be an efficient host because down time is not something I know much about. Please let me know if I'm derelict in my duty at any time!

Here are the ground rules for the shower:
  • I will be posting a new entry or two weekly.
  • If you log in anonymously (permissions have been set very loose on this), please be sure to sign your name in the comment so we know who you are!
  • Meagan will be invited to attend the shower in a few weeks once we launch and get in our groove.
  • If you would like to write a blog entry, please email me and I will post for you! I encourage lots of participation and help!
  • In order for this to be a success, we need you to comment.  Meagan will be looking forward to our advice whether it's serious or funny.   I do not need to approve comments.
  • If you do not have children, you surely have been a child at some point or know other children, so your insight is still very valuable.
  • Let's be as open as possible... Meagan will take or disregard the advice as she chooses, but it will be fun to throw it all at her!
  • I'm hoping only 'invitees' will comment however this is a public website and I didn't set the site up to exclude anyone. If we get a lot of craziness, I may "gate" the site.
  • I have a full-time job and two kids so efficiency will be key, please excuse any typos. 
  • Finally, please use your imagination. I have taken creative liberties to 'set the scene.'
OK ladies (and gentleman too if they want to join), please mingle and introduce yourself. So glad you could make it!   And to confirm, Meagan and Ryan are expecting a baby boy on March 27, 2013!

  14. WOW!! This is a first for me... a virtual party that is... What a fantastic and fun idea!! Thanks Kristin for putting this together. I'm a bit late on the uptake (or can I be "fashionably late?" ;D), but can't wait to scope out the scene and reconnect with Meag, Ryan, and her baby bump; and get acquainted with all of you.

    So happy for Meag and Ryan! What a lucky baby boy to have such wonderful parents!

    Cheers,
    Barb (ex-roomie from way back in the day)
