Pretty Pressies


A quick post before I dash off to the Baby Shower Miss K's Mum is hosting this afternoon. It will be our first grandchild, & yes, with only 3 weeks to go, you could say both Nonnas-To-Be are in a state of frenzied anticipation! I've been buying & stashing baby things for months now & I can't tell you what a thrill it's been buying pink for the first time in my life! Even though he volunteered his services, I gave MOTH the King of Gift-Wrapping a wide berth last night as I wrapped everything. I felt his grasp on pretty pink paper & co-ordinating ribbons was diminished, having had 4 stubbies prior to dinner. He then proceeded to snore on the sofa during the entire process, so I think my decision was vindicated. I'll try & take some pics this arvo, it sounds like it will be a pretty noisy, fun affair. It's the weekend dear Hedgies, so go enjoy!

    Poor MOTH. I'm sure his efforts would have been well intentioned, if not as photogenic Millie. What an exciting time ahead!
    Can't wait to hear all the updates. xx
