BABYSHOWER

A couple of weeks ago, I had a very bad day. I didnt sleep well during the night and I was tired, lonely and fed up with almost everything. In the afternoon I decided to take the car and drive to Kolding, to do some shopping to prepare for the baby. I didnt really know what to look for, I was mostly looking around to figure out what I need, and where I can buy it.
Then I went home to find Steen shoveling snow outside the house. I was happy to see him, and a little sad we wouldnt have time to spend time together that evening. Katja, Joanna and Bolette were supposed to come, so we could have our monthly YW precidency meeting.
Steen asked if we should take the curtains down on the window to block out the world a bit, and perhaps make it all a little more romantic as we had our dinner.. Steen and I just finished our dinner, when Joanna and Katja showed up. We were still waiting for Bolette, so we were not in a rush to start.
I was cleaning the table, when someone came in the main door. I saw it was Steens mother, and someone else (probably Bolette). I got a little confused, I didnt know Steens mother was coming. But maybe she was just going to pick up something. I heard people talking, and realized there was more people coming. I got even more confused. Suddenly the entrance was full of people! Alot of people from the church, Steens sister and niece, Annas mother and my good friend Mia. I think I got the point pretty fast - it was going to be a babyshower, but I was still very confused, and for a minute or two I tried to hide behind Steen. It was just too overwhelming. More than 20 persons came in to our little living room, and we didnt even have chairs enough. Steen went around the house to find the extra chairs we have got, and a few pillows. Then he left.... I was commanded to sit down, and I really felt bad to not having enough chairs for all the guests.. And the reason why Steen pulled down the curtains was so that I wouldnt see all the people outside the house when they would approach the house!
I got so many gifts, I think I have never opened that many gifts at the same time. It felt like ten times christmas. And I got so many nice things for our little baby! Games, clothes, blancets, diapers and much more. Each and everyone of the guests made a little wish for our baby - I got them written down on a nice piece of paper. It was really cute. And everyone got to guess wich date he is going to be born, and give a suggestion for a name!
Later in the evening, a few of the guests had brought delicious cakes, and other treats.
Thank you everyone! Thanks for coming and make such a good evening for me! Thanks for all the good gifts for our little boy! And thank you for the delicious cakes you made for the evening :-) You are great!
So after all it turned out to be a really good day anyway!

Steen is sneaking out! He didnt like to be the only rooster in the hen-house :-)

This is handmade!



Steens mum made this woolen blancet.



..And can I just say, - as Unni's husband.. Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than pulling a prank like this on Unni ! I knew about this babyshower for at least a month, and all this time Unni would say: "Steen, if you hear any kind of rumour about a babyshower, please let me know, I've got some friends that need an invitation" Haha, she didn't have a clue !
I knew that having that many people in the house would overwhelm Unni, but I actually think she handled it very well..
Also many thanks to the people who participated in surprising her, and planning it all..
