The Pregnancy, Birth & Early Life of Dexter...: Finally - all about the baby shower!

The Pregnancy, Birth & Early Life of Dexter...

Chronicle of my first pregnancy, and the expected homebirth into water of my baby. This blog was started at 18 weeks of pregnancy (I was too lazy and tired to start before now!) and includes some flashbacks to the earlier days of the pregnancy... UPDATE 13/03/08: I have decided to continue this blog through the early months of Dex's life, and possibly beyond...

Finally - all about the baby shower!

Well it's been 2 weeks since the baby shower (which was on January 12, 2008) so yes, I'm incredibly slack about writing about it! But I have a bit of time up my sleeve today - considering I'm actually trying to relax for just ONE day - so I thought I'd catch up on my backlog :)

Christine, one of my closest friends, organised the whole baby shower and she did an amazing job! The party was held at Mum's place, and she organised a whole lot of stuff too - and roped Dad, Andrew and Kevin into helping with the decorations before we had to kick them out of the house! The food was incredible - here are a few pictures showing how much trouble she went to. There was a chocolate fountain as well which was really cool... I got a lot of ideas from her that I hope to 'borrow' in the future for other friend's showers!

About half the people invited showed up, which was great considering they only had 2 weeks notice and it was just after Christmas and New Year. The lovely girls who showed up (apart from Chris and my Mum) were Mum's best friend Judi, my cousin Chilli, Lauren, Liz, Claudia, Andrea, Natalie, Katrina, and Emma. It was a really great little group. I got some gorgeous gifts, all sorts of stuff - and we played some fun games. It was meant to go from 2-4pm but I don't think everyone left until after 5pm - the sign of a great party! :)

So all in all it was a wonderful day - here is a shot of me opening the gifts - my boy is so spoiled, and I'm sure this is only JUST the beginning! :)

More soon... I promise!
