surprise baby shower..

jack has been a bit of a sneaky boy and planned a surprise baby shower for me!

unfortunately it was scheduled for the 17th november - the afternoon of the day grandad sadly passed. as far as i knew i was meeting kellie for lunch in town!

natalie was in ireland for the duration of the week so we had both been back and forth to her house to feed her rabbit and fish. i never really got out of the car 'i was keeping it warm' and jack would run in and feed the little cuties. 

obviously i told jack that i'd cancel with kellie and we would do it another time, i didn't want jack being on his own and we needed to make arrangements to get over to ireland. i had a shower and threw on some comfy clothes, i didn't do my hair or put on any make-up. obviously jack told me to make a bit of an effort and told me i couldn't go out looking like that! CHARMING. i rarely do my hair or make-up anymore as i really just cannot be bothered and no one really notices if i make an effort or not haha!

to jacks delight i did do my hair and make-up but i still didn't want to get out of my comfy clothes. his line was 'you haven't seen kellie in ages so wear something to show of the bump so she can see it' he was being a bit picky but i still didn't click!

he came back from 'westies house' to pick me up and take me to town but informed me on the way we needed to feed the animals at natalies. obviously me being me i said ahh i'll just sit in the car and you can go and do it.. that didn't go down well and he dragged me out of the car to 'feed the rabbit'. i did find it a bit strange that jack brought his coat into the house but i didn't question him about it. we got into the kitchen and jack asked me if i wanted a cuppa, it was just after two and i was meant to be meeting at two so obviously my response was 'tea? really? i need to go!' 

i opened the sliding doors which close off the kitchen and the lounge area to find jacks mum and my girls jumping up and screaming surprise!! i was a little taken back and i honestly had no idea any of it had been planned - i am a very lucky girl to have friends and family who are prepared to go to so much trouble for me and bump. baby and i received gorgeous gifts from the girls and i was so overwhelmed by it all. 

we played some baby shower games, had a giggle and ate some nibbles. most importantly we drunk shed loads of tea which is a favourite of mine!
