The baby shower...

14 September 2008

...went without a hitch. I'm pretty sure Alex enjoyed her afternoon... I know we all enjoyed spending it with her... eating food..playing games....and celebrating the 'excitement' that will arrive sometime in the next few weeks.

So...what went on on the day?
We played a 'chocolate poo in the nappy game'....which was hilarious as everyone sniffed and felt...and even tasted to see what the contents actually were.... Briony and Hannah kindly prepared the nappies ahead of time....I think Briony looks suitably impressed with the 'poo' in this one...lol (Yes...I know...this game probably isn't everyones cup of tea...but it amused me.....and the guests seemed to enjoy it...or the humoured me and pretended too....lol)
Alex received some beautiful and useful gits....linen... and two 'nappy cakes' .... which will come in very handy...This was my first 'nappy cake' attempt...I did try my hand at making singlet flowers for the top....which were.... not really that 'flower' looking...lol
Yes...this is another 'chocolate poo in the nappy' shot...Alex seems very engrossed in this nappy.
Unwrapping the pressies.... lots of fun....
Baby shower......successful....tick
Now we just wait for 'that' phone call.....
