DD1's baby is due January 22 and with lots happening within the family, it was suddenly realised that we were running out of time to have the baby shower. As she is suffering from Gestational Diabetes, DD1 and could be induced earlier during January, it was eventually decided that Dec 23 would have to be the date.
The mother-to- be wanted a low key party rather than the 'big productions' of her sister and stepsister. So just a dozen of us gathered for a relaxed afternoon tea.
The baby is a girl so there was a lot of pink items....
In the next photo DD1 is reading all the messages written on the card sent by her workmates.
Her workmates gave her a box of beautiful items.
Her mother in law gave her a lovely pink and white basket filled with goodies...
Her little sister knows firsthand what a new mother needs...
This is from Grandma Me 😉. I fell in love with that pink Giraffe when I was in Ollies Place, looking for cot sheets, bunny rugs and baby towels...and it came home with me from shopping.
At the same time, I bought some 'Mary Jane' socks which DD1 just loved!
We had some lovely savory food and some freshly baked scones ( made by DD1) for afternoon tea but I didn't take photos of those. Instead took photos of the cake which my friend Gracelyn made...
And DD1 was to get a big surprise. On the Thursday DD2 had tipped us off that the Redsbaby company were having a sale and the pram that DD1 had decided upon was nearly $200 off the normal price. So I ordered it online from the firm in Sydney. I received a tracking number on Friday morning and the advice that the pram would be delivered on Dec 28. Well...amazingly it arrived on Saturday morning, in time for the baby shower.
And Cam put it all together.
The next baby shower in the family is for DsD1... it's on January 14. 👶🏼😍
