After weighing up the post topic options and not wanting it to sound as though we're rushing the process, I settled on the one that you see: On the Button - because despite feeling a little impatient about meeting this bundle-size addition to the Klaasen family and a host of tell tale signs that he was already on his way, we firmly believe that Button will be born right on time.
Last Sunday, after a month of hustling and re-arranging, we finally managed to secure a lunch date with Andel, Robyn and Zac that we could invite friends and family to in our effort to have a relaxed, co-ed baby shower. The sun (and traffic) came out in full force and we enjoyed a lovely lunch in the Kid's Carnival area at Lekke Neh on Weltevreden Estate.
First, we had to convince Andel and his male cronies that it was okay to attend the baby shower...and then we had to make sure that Rob stopped taking on extra work on the weekends - which was resulting in us pushing the date closer and closer to her due date! Finally, Dom and I had to ensure that it didn't feel like a girlie afternoon with only cupcakes and broody ladies...
Unfortunately, some missed out on the afternoon. But for those who could join us, we enjoyed a family-orientated afternoon of pizza lunch and play and we event managed to squeeze in 1 game of Who's ya Mamma - it was hard work!
Button will be arriving soon; we'll learn his name, we'll see his face, we'll congratulate the parents and watch as Zac becomes the big brother of K-town. What an exciting time!
Dear Button - our newest nephew
We are so excited to meet the boy behind those big kicks!
Your Uncle P-J and I, together with Jorja and Ethan can hardly wait to see you with our own eyes... You are a special gift to your family...and to ours!
Since before you were born, you have been loved and blessed
God has a plan for your life and we are so hopeful to have been here at the start of it all
Here's to many cuddles, cousin cook offs, communal nap times and many, many great memories as we watch you grow...
