We were originally going to hold Brando's and TLB's blog baby shower next Thursday evening. That seemed to be the date when most people were available. Well, TLB's Dr had other ideas and it seems that TBD's birth will be induced that very day so TLB will no doubt be very busy, as will Brando. Here's what we're going to do instead... Brando is going to have an open thread on Wednesday, kind of like an open house. You may stop by at any point to share your good wishes, words of wisdom or caution, at any point during the day. Brando and TLB will be awaiting your comments with bated breath.
For those of you who would like to shower TBD with material goodness, the expectant parents are registered at Target and Babies R Us. Brando said gift cards (to be used to purchase endless packs of diapers!) to those places would be nice, especially Target cards as they actually have one in their town. He also suggested Amazon. Gifts do not need to be limited to those locations. It'd be a shame to waste this blogging community's imagination. I'm sure Brando can't wait to see "Baby's First Ghost Melon" or "Billy Pilgrim's Book of First Cuss Words" ... illustrated of course. Some of you may also wish to wait until we know what flavor TBD turns out to be.
Mark your calendars and be sure to stop by Brando's on Wednesday, June 18th. Be sure to continue stopping by Brando's blog after June 18th... I'm sure he'll take it to levels of sweetness and hilarity we've not yet seen before.
Any questions regarding shipping, sizes, quantities, etc, contact Brando at: [email protected]
Many, many thanks.
And just to reiterate, gifts are really not necessary. We have been showered with numerous hand-me-downs and gifts already. We just want to celebrate the occasion with our blog friends.

Oh man! I wish I woulda thought of "Baby's First Ghost Melon."
lol.
Can't wait. Much luck and love to TLB!! Sending good vibes her way.
And you, too, Brando. But, you got the easy part.

I have an extra "Baby's First Evil Clown Painting". I'm happy to send it ASAP. Or I can send cash. Either way.

Humorous gifts will definitely be welcome.

I hope they make a Danny Gans talking action figure!

Wait, wait...is it too late to hire a surrogate to do this part?
Thanks for organizing this, Jennifer. We will need all the moral support we can get this week.

And that you shall get, TLB. We are all in this together and TBD is going to have more aunties and uncles than s/he/bird knows what to do with!

everytime i read "TBD" i snort invisible milk out of my nose.
If I'm ever an expectant dad, I am SO using that, as I wouldn't want to know the sex of my potential child before the day. I think knowing the weather a week in advance is a good thing, but some experiences are lessened by an early reveal.
