memphis- sounds pretty Goddess-y to me! WRT alcohol, maybe have a little for those who really want it, but don't put it out on display, IYKWIM? Just have some beers in the fridge in case anyone asks for them. That said, if you're uncomfortable with the idea, there's absolutely no reason why you should provide liquor- it's a child's 1st birthday after all, not a stag do!
As far as having enough to do- why not just have a few footballs and toys out, in case the bouncy castle gets crowded? Kids are generally pretty good at finding something to occupy themselves!
WSS honestly? If I didn't keep doing pg tests, I wouldn't even know I was pg. I just feel bloated and tearful as hell, and I've got a semi permanent headache but that's not really preagnancy specific! If I had swollen boobs or morning sickness or something the whole thing might be a bit more believeable, but as it is, I just feel fat, grumpy and impatient. I hate not being able to tell anyone. I'll be 6 weeks on Monday though, so it's much too early.
Gwen is systematically emtying my kitchen cupboards. She's torn all the dust covers on my cookery books, pulled out all the tea towels and is now dragging around an incredibly heavy cast iron griddle. She's done nothing but grizzle all morning, and DH is still in bed because he had to get up, first at 5am because our of a dog crapped in the house again, then again at 8 to let the builders in. He got propositioned by some bloke as he walked the little bugger at 5 am, which is a disturbingly regular occurence round here, so he wasn't in the best mood when he came back. (There are 4 gay nightclubs opposite us, and Vauxhall is a big gay hotspot, so he regularly get followed aroung by men asking what he's doing that evening, and does he fancy some fun) All in all, it's not shaping up to be a brilliant weekend.
