I had thoughts of calling this the not so Sunday lifestyle post but that'd be getting a bit wordy wouldn't it? I had all the best intentions of posting yesterday but after a crazy early wake-up time and a mad spare bedroom tidying sesh (told you I was nesting) I was feeling very anti-anything yesterday except the essentials obviously - eating and napping.

 On Sunday some of my closest pals organised the baby shower to end all baby showers at my mum and dads abode, while my dad made himself scarce (bless him) baby and I were well and truly showered (excuse the pun) with love, gifts and general loveliness - never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my friends would create such a perfect day, not that I didn't think they had it in them of course. I don't think I've ever felt so overwhelmed with love and support - possibly the soppiest and gushy sentence you'll ever read on ze blog.

 The day started with the sweetest mocktails, some in cute glasses and others in mini milk bottles garnished with blueberry and mint ice cubes (how Pinterest?) followed by a wonderful buffet complete with personalised cupcakes which tasted pretty spot on. The rest of the afternoon was a blur of games, photoboothing (why oh why do I not have a Polaroid camera?) and present opening. I even came away with the most thoughtful piece of artwork which the girls created with their finger prints choosing different coloured ink to represent the babys sex, it would seem the majority think I'm having a baby boy! It'll not be long until all is revealed as I'm now 37 weeks pregnant, crazy. I'd like to say a huge thank you to my friends, the mums and sister-in-laws for making Sunday such a special day which I certainly won't forget in a hurry.
