I’ve always wanted a baby shower. Couple of years ago I got
the great joy in organising my best friends. So when I finally got pregnant I
knew I’d want one. Early on my mum asked me and said she would be happy to
organise it with my friends so that what happened. She asked me to send her a
list of any presents I might like to help guide anyone who wanted to buy me
something.
The theme was a Teddy Bears tea Party. Mum asked everyone to
bring a bear and a photo of themselves as a baby.
Mum asked me to turn up early so I was there when everyone
arrived. My dad and brother had sorted out all the catering, we had a fab
spread of sandwiches and cakes including by request from me scones, jam &
clotted cream! YUMMY.

She’s set up my old cot in the lounge for everyone to see.
She had kindly kept it all these years for me to use for my little one and I am
so pleased she did.
Mum had set up a couple of games: guess who the baby is and
guess the ingredients of the baby food, have to say I stayed well clear of that
game. She also brought a small hope & dreams book for everyone to write in,
which was a lovely thought. Then my other friend had put together a small quiz.
In total we had about 20 people, mixture of old friends,
family and work colleagues and some brought their children which was lovely. I
found it lovely seeing everyone.
I was very spoilt and brought lots of lovely gifts, some
things I’d asked for but other things that I hadn’t. Some of my fav’s are below
