There were helium balloons, gold sprayed animals, jungle green, gold confetti, a lot of sweet words, gigantic BOY light letters, velvet couches to plop down on, flamingos on the walls, a boho terrace with beautiful rattan furniture, infinitely long light strings draped in the air, a funny quiz, the most beautiful cupcakes, brownies and cake pops from @Funfettiesnl but above all: all my favorite women gathered under one roof @lodgeatthelake.

Saturday was the day: my baby shower. For a moment I thought it wouldn’t happen for me due to the corona craziness. Or at least: not in this insane way. But if you have the sweetest people around you in my case, they make it happen with some extra face masks on the left and a 1.5-meter measuring tape on the right, so it’s ‘just’ for you. And that caused goosebumps squared. Blame it on the hormones or not, but with so many lovely people who decide to celebrate the arrival of the little baby boy with me, an overload of way too cool gifts and all the work that goes into this dream of a day, I suddenly realize more than ever how #blessed I am. I feel richer than the richest. And I’m sure that little boy thinks exactly the same already.
