It's raining babies

Yesterday was Justin and Kates baby shower. (Justin is my husbands cousin) and it's been great to see them fortnightly throughout the whole pregnancy so far. Kates belly is blossoming quite nicely (although she is still so tiny for 37 weeks).
It was a combined guys/girls baby shower, with the fellas staying at a safe distance away outside playing pool, although we did get them involved for one game at the end which turned out to be way too easy...still entertaining to watch though.

Shortly after the showering began, Justin surprised us all dressed like this...

Margie and the girls did a fantastic job of decorating for the special event...

This was a game of disposables vs. cloth nappy races...whoever did the disposable nappy had to be blindfolded, just to make it fair. Turned out that the cloth nappies were quicker to put on...

This is grandma vs. grandma...

Then we played 'playdough babies'. This is just one plate of babies...

Next it was the guys turn. 'Pregnant for a day'...the aim of the game was to stuff a balloon under their shirt and tie their shoe lace. Turns out that guys have longer arms and this really wasn't much of a challenge after all...

Some of the girls, mummy to be in the middle (doesn't she look fantastic for 37 weeks??!!)...

Grandma-to-be, Grandma-to-be and Great Oma-to-be...

And last but not least, the cutting of the cake...made by the fabulous Selena (Cakes by Selena), she is taking orders now. This one was a pina colada flavoured cake...so delicious!!

Thanks again to Larry and Margie for hosting the event, they did a great job as usual. And our thoughts are with Justin and Kate during these next few weeks...we just know they will make fantastic parents...(especially if Justin keeps dressing the same as junior) Rest up guys, enjoy your time alone together while it lasts. Cheers,

Josette
