same, same, but different

A few weeks ago I attended a close friends baby shower. We're expecting an sms anytime now telling us that a beautiful baby girl has finally arrived and another playmate for baby TJ. I am at the stage where baby showers are the norm. Just a couple of years ago eggs and I were attending weddings, weddings and weddings. Now it's baby showers.

The funniest thing about baby showers is even though I feel older having kids of my own, I always leave a baby shower feeling like I have just attended a friends 10th birthday party. The only difference is that we talk about labour pains rather than 'Young Talent Time' (back in my days) or 'bratz'. Our husbands drop us off and pick us up instead of our parents. Also, we now eat rice paper rolls and sushi instead of fairy bread and honey joys but there is still the cupcakes, games, presents and the goodie bag that I get to take home (no longer mix lollies but have been replaced by tea bags).

Eggs finds it extremely funny that we play games such as 'guess the celeb' or 'baby trivia'. I even won a prize for answering the most correct questions about how well I know the mother. I love prizes. I love games and being competitive I love to win.

Ofcourse I love attending baby showers. Any chance to hang out with my girlfriends without the men is great, but next time I'm at a baby shower, I am going to know all the names of celebrities siblings and the most popular selling baby items.

Here are some photos of the quilt that I made for the new baby girl that will be arriving soon. The binding was a pain.












The quilt was made with material that was brought while in Japan.


















Ciao,
