Its a shower!!

09 August 07
Laura and Eric introduce baby Li-Na to their friends, Colin and Julia with Amy-Li and Shawn, who is next to get her baby. Isnt she beautiful, how exciting!! Its celebrations all around. Laura is so attached to her baby's photos that they follow her everywhere and even join her during her meals. How cute is that?
SURPRISE!!! Laura has a surprise baby shower. After a hard day at work, thinking she was coming home to put her feet up.... she walked in the front door to a see all her friends waiting to love and spoil her.



Its a nappy cake, created by Julia and Shawn. Everybody brought a gift with either a rhyme or a baby photo and Laura had to guess either who it was from or what was inside the present. If she got it wrong, there was a forfeit waiting to provide fantastic entertainment for all.




Laura has to find a smartie...



Some amazing presents for Li-Na, its all finally becoming a reality...her baby is on her way home.






Trying hard to guess from a tounge twisting rhyme.....





Ooooh noo, another forfeit, fish out the chocolate poopie from the potty.... (no one was harmed in this stunt, apple juice was used instead of wee :-))






Yay, Li-Na gets some toys.








The last forfeit, a rather realistic looking (peanut butter ) nappy. Laura has to show us her nappy changing skills.... blindfolded!!!
Hysterics followed by all. A baby shower is a great initiation into motherhood, a gathering of friends and family, building memories and feeling loved and cherished.
(Laura is feeling shattered after her baby shower, so asked Julia to post about it and add some great photos)
PLEASE LEAVE LAURA AND ERIC A COMMENT, thanks

Hi Laura and Eric, I have just read Julia's blog and followed the link to yours. It's really great news that after such a long long wait you now have a photo of your cherished Daughter Li-Na. The 'Shower Party' looks great fun.
Best Wishes
Jane

Congrats and well done that you survived the baby shower. It was such fun and one day you will show your precious baby the patience and fun you had. You were a real good sport and we were/are so proud of you. Congrats also to Eric who had to keep it a secret and buying all the extra goodies we needed. I think fun was had by all.
