Baby B's Baby Shower!

At 31 weeks exactly I had my Baby Shower!

It wasn’t going to be a huge deal or a massive event, I just wanted it to be the chance to get together with some of my girlie friends and family before the baby arrived!

I held it at my home and with the help of my mum, sister and mother in law, we had a lovely afternoon full of yummy food, cute baby related games and plenty of giggles!

I chose a neutral theme with the decorating , as we don’t know if we’re team Pink or Blue, by opting for a range of products from a brand called Ginger Ray, called Rock-A-Bye Baby, which was super cute!

My mum and sister made the most AMAZING cake pops, many of which I added to my guest’s party bags when they left as they were so popular!

My sister did an amazing job with baby games! We had a ‘guess the gender’ with pink and blue bonbons in a jar, ‘Guess the size of mums tum’, ‘Guess how many jelly babies there are in a jar’ and ‘Guess the due date’!

It was really laid back and fun and I received some extremely gorgeous and cute gifts for Baby B, all of which I can’t wait to get to use!

My dress was from ASOS Maternity by the way and is currently in the sale.

31 weeks pregnant and I had my Baby Shower! 

(I’ll tell you all about this in a separate post and keep this weekly update as an update or it’ll be super long!)

What I will tell you is one of the lovely gifts I received at my Baby Shower was a pregnancy/birthing ball.

Its  basically an exercise ball and I'm in love! Sitting, standing or laying for any period of time, in any position has started to become really uncomfortable, but I can bounce away on my birthing ball for hours and Its so comfy.

My ball came with a leaflet recommending other ways you can use it and various positions that are comfortable to sit and get yourself into while pregnant, as well as positions which are best to help get baby into an optimum position for birth, and as Baby B is transverse, I've been doing these every evening!

With every week that goes by work is becoming more and more of a chore and around 3pm every day I am finding myself in need of a nap, as I sit at my desk feeling like a zombie that could drop off at any point!

I took Friday off work for this very reason, I’m so tired and run down and truly couldn't face another days worth of commuting this week. On the plus side, only 10 working days left before maternity leave!

Baby B moves constantly now and has the hiccups ALL THE TIME! Its cute, but can get really annoying when you’re trying to lay quietly and can just feel these re-occuring pulses in your tummy, which are getting pretty strong now!
