The baby has been showered!

You heard.

I'll be honest, I had a really hard time with this shower. I think it was mainly hormones making me cray. I was so stressed about work and life and things that I let it get me down. I didn't want to make a big deal of it all and make it all about presents and games and not so much about baby. But as usual I was a dingbat.

It was the most splendid afternoon there ever was. Full of chatter and the women I love and food and most of all full of love and excitement for this babe of ours.

It's annoying generally but it's actually a blessing not knowing what the gender of our baby is, makes life interesting. I was able to say to our loved ones that we would just really appreciate a book as a present for Baby if they wanted to bring something along to the shower. Best decision ever, we were so spoiled with these books, each of them hiding a message from one of baby's many faux aunty and uncles, real life aunty's and grandparents. Trucks and tutus would have been wonderful too, but these books, we will treasure them for so many years.

Baby didn't only get books. They got a few other bits and pieces... like Lenny here. All the dewberries agree this is the best toy ever.

Thank you friends for making this Mama feel so loved! Thank you especially to Emily Legges for the masses of food and that cake... dear lord that cake. It tastes even better than it looks if you can imagine it.
