The boys and girls came out to play

Yesterday afternoon we had a do at our place to wet the babies heads.  The babies all belong to the mums from the ante natal class we all did together, and was the first time the dads have got together since the last class (and their one outing that they did to the pub and stayed out till 1am when the bar shut!).

It was great and everyone enjoyed themselves- it was bring a plate.  I left my plates in the fridge and they weren't even eaten!  Baby brain.  We all know a new bacon and egg pie recipe thanks to Steve's 12 egg and 800g of bacon wonder.  

Babies were passed around, admired, rocked to sleep, put to sleep in the different bedrooms around the house.  There was play time on the mat with different toys that crinkled, squeaked, rattled and were soft and squishy.  We all wondered how coffee group get togethers were going to be once the babes were all crawling and walking.  Time will tell.  

Gregg told me it was great seeing all the babies and how good they all looked.  We get to see the bubbies each week.  The last time he saw all the girls we had massive bumps out the fronts of us, or tiny new borns in hospital.  The guys all seemed to be having good old chats - and am sure if the babies weren't all getting ready for the nightime routines of feeds and baths and bed, they would have happily carried on till 1am again.    

I have no photos of the occasion.  I'm normally very trigger happy and my camera goes everywhere.  Perhaps we tidied up too much and the camera wasn't on the coffee table where it normally is.  I don't think anyone took any photos....so here's one below that was taken earlier at one of the coffee groups so you can see some of the bubbies.  

Propping each other up.  Elena's 3rd from left.

The mum's all get together each Tuesday and it's great to have the addition of Bridget the second, and Lou.  Tomorrow is a picnic at Mission Bay if the windy weather doesn't put a stop to that.  I must remember the fruit platter and truffles to take along!!  Hopefully baby brain doesn't get me again tomorrow.
