Our contribution was a selection of the infamous carrot cakes and together with my sister Catherine we presented Dawn with some maternity PJs, a bola necklace, Some of Heather Bailey's Bitty Booties and a post baby survival kit of breast pads, maternity pads and disposable knickers!!!All the glam stuff!
Amelia was on great form - her and Lucy were wearing some beautiful matching dresses - but at the last minute she insisted on wearing a bridesaid dress from last year, which she only just squeezed into, insisting 'I'm Cinderella. I need my ball dress'. But she looked gorgeous and didnt complain of being hot despite wearing both dresses all afternoon! Dawn kindly let her 'help' with the unwrapping of the presents too. Lucy, despite being very tired, was a great little girl too - though she stuck by me all afternoon and noone else really got a cuddle - several of my cousins and my brothers (who had gone down the pub with my Dad and Duncan to avoid the shower) were gutted!

It was a brilliant afternoon , another highlight in that I felt my cousin Anna's little baby girl move around in her tummy - she was squashing her twin brother underneath her! The feeling was so familiar to putting my hand on my own tummy and feeling a little baby move - i felt a real pang - i loved being pregnant! Her babies are due end of October so more baby stuff soon!!!
It was really nice to get together with my family and Dawn's and just generally chat babies unashamedly! Both mine came home knackered though ...it was far too much for my littlest lady who didnt even make it into the bath and was asleep on our bed..
Tomorrow we are going to the Dentist - Amelia's first time and mine in a very very looooong time, I am ashamed to say! She has seen the dentist on Peppa Pig and is very excited - though Peppa's dentist is an elephant. She has informed me she can go in on her own ... we'll see. Personally, I predict that this poor dentist wont see little more than the Amelia frown!!
Lucy still hasnt had a tooth through, I could really feel one but it seems to have subsided ... and on the plus side... so has her teething pain! and it does not stop her eating anything and everything anyway! There was more crawling today, she is bringing her leg up and shuffling along - sort of like how a really drunk person might crawl - will try to get some video evidence!
Amelia-ism of the day
'Mummy, mummy, clean him! Him has rolled in his own poo!'
refering to her toy cat beany, who was innocent of this disgusting crime. Later though, Lucy pooed either during her nap or upon awakening and did roll it up her back, on her bed sheets and on her cuddle blanket.... but she didnt get any on her top or dress!? Very clever ... and she did look very pleased with herself!!
