Baby Shower!

I've been looking forward to this week for a while now... Monday night was my Baby Shower, arranged by my lovely friend Sam and held at my Mum's apartment.  (which was handy as I only had to waddle downstairs!)  I knew nothing about the evening beforehand other than when and where it was.

Sam is very creative (and I had noticed her 'pinning' some baby shower type bits recently on Pinterest!) so I had a feeling she was up to something....  look at what she came up with!

A lovely banner,  flowers made from socks and baby bibs,with balloons attached, a huge basket of goodies (nappies, changing mat, baby toiletries, blanket etc). An elephant riding a bike made from nappies, bottle, babygrow and scratch mitts and some great little bits for the guests to fill in for me.

First of all there was a 'Guess the date and weight' card. Answers ranged from July 27th and 8lb 7oz  to 20th Aug and 9lb 12oz.   What's your guess?    Join in  and leave me a comment :)
(Due date is 20th Aug according to the hospital,  or according to my calculations from conception 6th August.  Leo was 2 weeks late and was 9lb 9oz / 4.3kg.... if that helps!)

Then everyone had a card to fill out with their wishes for the baby as a keepsake for him.

It was a lovely evening and it was very exciting to see lots of 'baby blue' stuff again, and we also got to try the fantastic Emma's Lunch' cake pops that I had heard so much about... which taste as good as they look!

Linking up to Michelle's Reasons to be Cheerful as there were a whole load of reasons in that evening!
