JL was actually surprised!

What a day! The party was a hit! Success number 1: JL came home, at about the right time, and was actually surprised!! He told me later that there were a few clues (his cousin calling, the caterers and Jacques wanting to put up the tempo in the afternoon) that made him suspect that I was up to something. But he never imagined that it would be so many people, and such a big party. Success number 2: Always hire servers. Kim and Danielle were brilliant! I would not have been able to enjoy the evening, had it not been for them. They were on fire! Decorating, serving drinks, preparing the food, bringing around the food to everyone. It was excellent. People kept asking me who Kim was, and I would answer, "Oh her, she's my employee". But when people asked Kim who she was, she would say "Oh, I'm the fifth Prevost sister". Oh right Kim! ok, now get serving those appetizers! Success number 3: Noé had a blast! Running, bumping balloons, eating off of everyone's plates, wrestling with the other boys, playing with Alicia (the babysitter from next door) and just hollering and laughing the whole time. Success number 4: I made it through most of my speach, kinda fell apart around the end, but I think people got the gist of it. I didn't need to be rushed to the hospital in the middle of the party to deliver the baby - so let's call that a success too. JL said at the end of the evening that he had a great time. He drank lots and had the chance to visit with everyone who came. You should see the bottles!!! JL's wine and scotch collection, it's quite well stocked!! The champagne, of course, was a hit, so was the cake. Everyone complimented me on the food, I think generally people were able to eat well.
So, it's 4 am, and I'm still up. Can't sleep. I feel like mopping the floor. I just may very well delivery this baby early!!! Oh well, I can confidently say all my prebaby obligations are complete, this baby can come whenever he wants now!
