Lilly turns one!

Lilly's birthday party was last weekend and it was the most beautiful day surrounded by people who love her dearly! I spent many weeks leading up to her party getting things ready with zero stress...that was until the day before the party when I realised how much I still had to do!

Thankfully we had loads of help from our families and everything came together just how I had imagined it would in my mind! Scroll down to the bottom of the post for info on where we got our goodies from and for a free download!

My beautiful baby shower

I have spent the last few weeks feeling absolutely horrible and even headed into hospital last week with severe vomiting and diarrhea. I am convinced that morning sickness has started late at 32 weeks but the hospital decided that it's probably just gastro...either way, I hope it all ends very soon! We were supposed to have our maternity session this weekend but I had to cancel because I've just been so sick =( However, we couldn't cancel the baby shower after the weeks and weeks of planning so I soldiered on despite spending the morning chucking up still haha - isn't my morning portrait glamorous?

My mum and sisters planned the whole thing and I think they did an absolutely amazing job! Check out the gorgeous decorations - it was seriously the best day ever!

Gender Reveal Party

We finally found out the gender of our little baby! I have been having early gender scans for a few weeks now and we had a little bit of an idea...but at my 20 week scan the gender was confirmed! We decided to have a little gender reveal afternoon tea to share the exciting news with my extended family. M beautiful sister helped me to pull it all together in a day!

You would not believe how hard it is to find blue food! My sister coated the oreo cream in blue sprinkles while I dipped the pretzils in chocolate and sprinkles - they look so cute! 

My lovely Nana got some plain donuts and coated them in icing and sprinkles for us too. I didn't take any photos of the pink food because it all came straight out of the packet and onto the plate.

We ordered some helium balloons and hid them in this lovely wrapped box, decorated by my clever sister because she's so crafty!

It's a....

 

We are so excited to welcome a beautiful baby girl into our family!! We went shopping the afternoon of my scan (hubby had to work so his mum and my Nana came to the scan with me) and got some gorgeous new girls clothes to start our collection - hubby picked most of them himself, isn't he great?!
