The baby shower...

My beautiful pregnant sister...

She doesn't even look 8 months pregnant, does she?

OK, so I've been really slack about writing about anything much lately. I've been even worse about posting pictures - I looked back and the last time I bored you with any pictures of my utterly gorgeous offspring (what's the singular? Offsprong?) was 10 February. So, I don't really feel that bad for going a little overboard with the next couple of posts. Life's been busy and I have lots to share with you all...

Laaaaaast weekend, we had a not-surprise baby shower for Jo. After her most recent check-up at the doctor, it seems that she's most likely going to need to have a Caesar done, probably on Monday 30 March. It might all happen the Friday before, which is the 27th, but either way, in less then 4 weeks time, my gorgeous nephew (he's related to me, he has to be cute!) will be here. We're all very excited and every morning Jake asks me first how many sleeps till his cousin comes and second, how many sleeps till his birthday (still something like 73). He can't wait to be the big cousin, although I think he might be a little disappointed in the fact that Connor won't be ready to run around the garden with him for a while yet.

Jo's taking a little bit of strain at the moment. She's got a pinched nerve in her lower back, which is affecting her leg. She's also battling with the heat plus had a mean dose of gastro this last weekend. Needless to say, she's looking forward to the baby getting here now.

So, the baby shower is done now and it went really well. We had an afternoon tea for about 40 people, which was perfect. Lots of kids running around, so they all had fun too. Jo's not big into surprises, so helped with the organising and we had the shower at her house. Connor has been such a spoilt boy already. His room is gorgeous and every thing's ready for his arrival. Can't wait!

Connor's haul - told you he was spoilt...
