WOW is all I can say about this past weekend. We were SO SO SO spoilt by family and friends. Mom, Nix, Matt & Adam arrived on the evening of Wednesday the 15th in the pouring raining. We had a divine dinner and then woke up on my birthday with family around which was amazing! I got a Kindle for my birthday from everyone which is super exciting!!!! I still need to sit down and learn how to use the Kindle, but super excited to get going on that! We went for lunch to Cafe Roux with some friends and family which was lovely too. Then just had dinner at home that evening! Nick and Lol arrived in the afternoon, and Amy Lou came for dinner too. Super special to have so much family around on my birthday.
On Friday we went for the scan and then went and had a divine dinner in town on Friday night with some of Lolly's friends. Was nice to get out and try a new restaurant!
Then on Saturday it was my baby shower. I have never felt so spoilt in my life! It was at Caro & Anton's new lovely house. Thank you Caro for hosting! It was a perfect venue! Thank you to Jules Bass, my sisters and especially to my mom for the most wonderful baby shower ever. I was seriously spoilt and about 90% ready for this baby to arrive now! Thank you also to each and every one of my friends for all the wonderful gifts, advise, support and love that we have got over the last 8 months or so. We really are very lucky to have such alot of love in our lives. Monkey Junior has no idea how lucky he/she is already!
All I need to do is pack my hospital bag, wash some baby clothes and bedding and then ready! I hope to put my feet up in the last few weeks leading up to the birth and RELAX! Watch lots of DVDs, have a few nice dinners out, walk on the beach and just do some normal things!
Thank you again to everyone!!!
