My friend told me to meet her at our local restaurant for lunch one Saturday, and when I walked in there were my closest friends, my mum and my mother in law! The table had been decorated with lots of baby-blue balloons and glitter confetti on the tables, and dummies scattered around the table! It looked really effective, and it was announced that this was my baby shower! We had a great time - in a funny way it reminded me of my hen night, only this time I wasn't drinking! It was just lots of girly fun, and a great memory to cherish. My mum knew that we had been saving to buy the baby buggy, and after secretly consulting with my husband, had clubbed together with the other girls to buy it for us! It was the perfect present. Everyone also got some fun things for me to unwrap like packs of nappies, cotton wool, nipple cream and that sort of thing! Charlotte, London - Mum to Robyn
