Yesterday Brisbane welcomed a beautiful Spring Day filled with a clear blue sky that was radiant with sunshine. It was a gorgeous background for an afternoon Baby Shower, surrounded by great friends and one of my sisters, Sharlene. It was really relaxing to chill out that afternoon with a great spread of food (huge thank you to everyone who brought goodies) and everyone really enjoyed the iced-teas.
One of the highlights were definitely our Meg's games. We played a series of fun games such as guessing the 'baby names' of various animals, guessing the diameter of my abundant tummy and even completed some fun relays with dummies & balloons. By far, my favourite game was when Meg gave us 10 mini diapers, filled with various types of chocolates which we had to guess the name of! Kate, Antoinette & Sophie really excelled on this one but we all had a brilliant time. Meg really outdid herself with the creative games.

Baby Dragon is one very lucky baby, with so many generous Aunties & Uncles who certainly showered us with a variety of practical and beautiful gifts. The baby nursery is all stocked and ready to go. The only thing missing is the baby!

I've finally finished work so I'm now pottering around the house, tidying a few loose ends for when Baby Dragon, my family and visitors arrive. Baby Dragon isn't moving as much (the poor thing is probably running out of room) but it still gives me the comforting kick in the stomach to remind me it's still there, hehe. My Mum will also be arriving today (so exciting to see her!) so I'm sure we'll have everything sorted for when Baby arrives. It's certainly not long now!
Oh and while we were enjoying our Baby Shower, Craig and the fellas had a 'baby celebration' of their own and went off to Put-Put and ten pin bowling :D From what I hear, they had a great time which just goes to show that baby showers aren't just for clucky women.
I just want to finish off with a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who brought food and gave us gifts. Your offers for baby-sitting are all vastly appreciated and Craig and I feel so blessed to have each and every one of you as friends. Baby Dragon is very fortunate to be surrounded by such amazing people and above all else, it's your precious company that we enjoy most. Your kindness and smiles are what we will always treasure.
Forever grateful,
Demi, Craig & Baby Dragon.
Demi, I'm so glad you had a great time at your baby shower. It sounds like so much fun! Meg is a champ. I daresay I could have given your friends a run for their money on the chocolate guessing game. Sorry again I missed it!
