Gifts and Grand Gestures

Had such a great day.

The girls at work had planned a proper babyshower today at Amanda's place - that is Alexandra (which has previously been referred to as the best assistant ever here on this blog) made the invites, told people what to bring (cakes, crepes, cheeses and candy) and decorated with lovely golden laces, animal balloons and Amanda's typical american decorations from NYC. Babylicious was spoiled rotten with wonderful gifts - pyjamas, towels, stuffed animals, shoes, its first book, a lovely story with my childhood's "Ernest and Celestine",an "I love NY" body with a pin saying " my mama loves Obama" on it, a picture frame, beautiful clothes from Petit bateau exc exc. So lucky.

Apart from having a stuffy nose and not being able to taste all the sweets, I enjoyed these few hours in the girl's company, talking babies, gossip and laughing at Cecile's hilarous jokes. Shame she didn't bring over her new "baby" miss Coco, famously known for leaving unpleasant and gooyie things all over the appartment's floor, but she's only 2 months. Oh and she's also a dog.

So a big thank you to all the girls.. Even the baby daddy got some leftovers of cake so noone was forgotten.

It was good to see people again- get out of the house and mingle. Also, I liked the attention, better cherish that because in a few weeks its not going to be about me anymore.

Its going to be all about you, baby.
