It is starting to sink in, my own flesh and blood is having a baby in something like 6 weeks…woah! I wish you all the best Dude (I call my sister Dude, she calls me Dude, it works ). And I can’t wait to meet little Sam (non-gender specific nickname for bub) and I promise, I will keep the camera away from my face for at least 10 minutes in a row so Sam will know the identity of his/her Aunty!

Yesterday, Mum, Marnie’s friend Ally and I threw a Baby Shower for Marnie. As we do not know the sex of the baby, we kept to a green, white and yellow theme and was all clucky when Ally presented the adorable Peas in a Pod serviettes! We played a few games – Guess the Celebrity Baby Names, Marnie got 100%; Guess the circumference of Marnie’s Belly; pin the button on the belly (like pin the tail on the donkey) and we…ate and ate! The food was great, thanks to everyone who helped out. And Ally, those cupcakes, we must get the recipe! But Marnie topped it off with delicious fairy bread!

Instead of gifts, Marnie asked if everyone could bring a bead that she would then string together and wear during the birth – I thought this was a great idea and she scored well with some fancy and very decorative beads donated.

Also thanks to Ann and Emma for the calming underpants…they were a hit (as you can see in the pics). The last pic is a classic – the ladies pretending to be in labour!

I will let the pics speak for themselves…

The calming underpants...
