I didn’t have a baby shower for Heidi. I was feeling so fat and blotted by the end of my pregnancy that I didn’t dare go out or see my friends until she finally arrived. I know (for many) it’s not healthy to squirrel yourself away, but I doubt I could have squeezed through the door if I’d wanted to, and the last thing I felt like doing was being surrounded by a cloud of baby pink when Heidi was being so stubborn.
I had a shower (of sorts) for Dex, but this was just family and friends. The gift that sticks out the most by far was a cute little wicker basket crammed full of essentials that I hadn’t even been aware I had needed. Of course, I’d done the whole ‘first-timer’ thing and stocked up the nursery with too many outfits and teddies, but I wasn’t quite up to speed with some of the less cute bits and pieces… gripe water, dummy clips, breast pads, nipple creams… It’s so nice when someone in-the-know steps in and pre-empts your naivety.
In fact, handpicked gift baskets are always likely to score you brownie points if you’re en route to a baby shower anytime soon. But of course it’s not easy to find the time to pop these together.
