I've never been to a Sip-n-See before either. Apparently, it's an open house to meet & greet the baby. Well, off to shower and hit the Carter's outlet if I have time. If not, a Target gift card.
Maybe it involves sipping wine!
Oooooh! I'm in!

Traditionally the host will provide water, tea, coffee (sometimes decaf if she is nursing), and maybe a juice or punch type thing. The guests will bring bottles of wine.

It's really a low key thing. Not a big party. Not like a shower in that sense. There's not cake or food. No dumb games. It's just basically a gathering to show off the baby. At least this is what it is to my understanding. I think it would be nice because you could invite everyone over to see the new baby at one time instead of them trickling in one by one and disturbing you when you are trying to settle into a new routine.

Me too. And most people want to buy the new baby a gift even if it's a second or third child. Especially if the parents aren't all gift grabby. It's a chance to bring a little gift over at the same time.

I feel groggy and hung over from taking a PRN pain pill in the middle of the night. I really really really need to work out. Ugh.

I'm like Lily. If I take anything PRN or something like NyQuil I feel groggy the next day. I DID work out though! Yeah me!

So much soreness. Yesterday was tilling soil and planting grass. Today, I cleaned out the stairway to the basement and power washed the steps and walls. They were even dirtier then I thought, but so nice to have them clean.
Whenever I hear NyQuil, I think of Dennis Leary. NyQuil NyQuil NyQuil, we love you, you giant f***ing Q!
Just got back from taking Paul for some groceries and supplies to take back to school. I was planning to run to Famous footwear to shop for new walking shoes.
I'm a wimp. I don't have it in me.
Spoiler
I'm up to 8.77 miles. 18,180 steps for the day.
Anyone want to make any bets on if I'll end up over 10 miles, between now midnight? I'm beginning to think it could happen.
NJN, I can get drowsy from Tylenol. When taking something intravenously I have to beg them to let me tell them when to stop.
Nyquil is a serious sedative for me.

I like Graham Nash. I saw his show "Life's Sighs" back in the 90s and it was wonderful.
Sip-n-See was very nice. She had a veggie tray, cheese tray, little finger roll up sandwiches and cupcakes. There was water, ice tea and a keurig. No alcohol at all. no one in the family partakes, I think due to religious reasons. There was one game where you had to pick the new baby out of the pictures of all four of her kids. There was about 20 pics with 6 of them being the newest. I guessed correctly.
It was almost all family. Which was a little weird to me since I knew no one. I know I said cousin. And she is. Her father and my mother are half-siblings. And how do I say the next part without sounding racist? I was the only white chick there. I got a weird look or three when I was introduced as her cousin. Only 2 knew that Uncle's mother was white and father was African American. But we did not know the other existed until she started tracing her family history and someone told her that her father had a sister.

That's really interesting, jbear. To find a long, lost relative, is really cool!
