Maria and Sivan organised a baby shower for me on Sunday 27th April. Although this is my 3rd baby, this is my first real American baby shower, and as we're having a girl - very exciting to enjoy all the pink!It was lovely to get together with all my new-found girlfriends, and also to have my mum in the country to meet everyone and celebrate with us.
Maria's baby girl, Ayla was not quite 2 weeks old, and she did a spectacular job of making the afternoon so special for me. There were some traditional baby shower games - everyone designed a bib or two for the baby, guess the number of M&M's in the jar (1800 - bless Terry for counting them all!), guess the size of my bump........Everyone was incredibly generous and brought beautiful gifts for the baby, some of which Vicky hung on a washing line in the living room.
As a goodbye favor, everyone took home some sugared almonds in miniature cribs.
Maria's husband Terry made this great Diaper Cake
This is me and my special friends, Maria & Sivan with whom I have shared pregnancies, homesickness, children worries, laughs and much more over the last 10 months. I feel incredibly blessed to have met them.
