Baby Shower!






Well, last night was my baby shower. I had the most fantastic time! What an evening. I got home and walked into the house which had been decorated by Yvette and Jo whilst I was out. It looked amazing! WOW! The whole lounge had baloons, banners, ceiling danglers, curtain style decs, cardboard cutouts, matching plates, tablecloths and more! The conservatory and outside had banners and decs too! FAB!

Jo and Yvette also arrived early to help get the food out and arrange things. Both of them were just fantastic and I am so happy they are my friends x

We drunk (shloer for me), ate, nattered and laughed. It really was a perfect evening and meant so much having so many friends there for us.

Presents! They are amazing. People have been so, so kind and generous. I feel very humbled by how nice everyone has been. The gifts we got were:

Jo, Matt and family: Gift basket containing tons of baby stuff, bib, wipes, nappies, powder, a gorgeous Humphreys corner plate and bowl set, the cutest pair of Lonsdale baby shoes and more!

Yvette & family: A gorgeous blue taggies blankie- soooo cute and soft, a touchable and lovely teddy and a taggies baby book.

Sophie: 37 degrees baby wear! We got a vest suit and a baby grow- this stuff is awesome and we just wouldnt have treated ourselves :) http://www.37degrees.co.uk/

Mum & Stu: Baby bouncer/ vibrating chair that we can carry round with us AND a 3 in 1 rocker which is exactly what I wanted for Toto! He will be a happy baby with these- I LOVE this stuff!
