I went to a Baby Shower last night.

I know it’s not exactly the most common thing with the Muslim community. But it was such a fantastic idea and the shower was enjoyed immeasurably by all the guests as well as the lovely hostess the Canadian Queen.

It all started with us (the guests) receiving a nappy! This was last week and we were informed to open this nappy – now been the suspicious person that I am I was very reluctant to do so! I only opened mine when I saw someone else open their own one and exclaim in delight ‘oh, what a great idea!’

For the rest of the week I spent been excited and just been like a kid. At this time I had two long days and two short days at work to look forward to. I was also excited on behalf of the mother to be as it was a surprise baby shower and she would just be turning up with no clue that her sisters and friends had done this for her.
I love the idea of surprise parties. They are incredible.

Let’s skip to the actual party day (yesterday - a rainy Sunday when most people were tucked up in bed wondering what happened to the glorious summer promised to them by the weather channel!). I was working an early shift at the hospital and was due to finish work at 3pm. I talked of the party so much so that my nurse in charge let me go at 2pm, wickedly nice or what? I had brought my clothes with me in the morning and was out of there like a flash man. No flies on me that time!
I got to change at my friend Nemo’s place (after a slight altercation about the place we should get changed at). And we got picked up by our friend the Mount. We got there and the place was looking extraordinary. The Canadian Queen had outdone herself. We stood around complementing her for a few minutes (might have been hours) and then just got chatting.
To cut a long, ever so long story short the mother to be arrived and was sufficiently surprised as her sisters had done a fantastic job of hiding the plans from her.
The best bit of the party was when the mother to be danced and the baby actually moved. I think I sat with her for most of the party talking with her and feeling her belly (not been dodgy but actually just feeling this new human being perform somersaults in my friend’s tummy!
I think we should all celebrate our friendships with parties. We all had fun and we even had a reminder (which was done beautifully by the Soon to be Married one) which nearly had us in tears.
I pray that the mother to be has an easy time with the birth and that she cherishes her baby as it should be cherished.
This baby is going to be so spoilt with so many aunts (who are available for babysitting duties as well as nappy changing duties – I nominate the White African!).
I can’t wait till the baby is with us.

For those that like to travel, having a camera with
them is a necessity. It includes the feature of red
eye reduction and the various white balancing features include Auto, Daylight, Cloudy,
Fluorescent H, Fluorescent L, Tungsten and Custom.
There are more important things to consider when deciding if you will
pay more for a camera.

Bears, coyotes, raccoons, and even wolves can be
quite unwelcome in your campsite, especially if they are helping themselves to your food or
your dog's food. If you intend to go on an outdoor escapade and are in search of a high quality branded tent such as or some outdoor clothing and footwear and other outdoor gears that are offered at affordable prices then have a look at Great Outdoors. Where else can you get nature at its best, other than Garden city, Bangalore.

Funny Or Die separates itself from other funny video clip hosting sites by the
way it lets people rank the videos, get enough
funny votes and the video will be immortalized get enough die votes and the video will
be sent into the "crypt". The table top radio connects to the internet using Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable, and
searches for stations by country, genre or call letters.

If your camera doesn't have this option, try going outside where the light is usually better. Mega pixels are how manufacturers measure the pixel count of an image created by a camera. The software is Sony's "Picture Motion Browser" v 5.

0 megapixels, created-in flash, motion picture captured.
It includes the feature of red eye reduction and the various white balancing
features include Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent H, Fluorescent
L, Tungsten and Custom. This lets you manage exactly how wide the
camera shutter opens and the remaining settings are governed automatically to provide you with an excellent picture.

They help separate the fishing men from the boys, so you
can find an excellent guide who really knows what he's doing. Pay close attention to the mayflies, midges, and stoneflies in the area and try to match your flies to the size and type fish are biting on. Yet sometimes a net is better to use because it usually doesn't harm the
fish and will most likely be easier for you to prepare
the fish for later.

The same test can be performed while on the shower. Of
course, when it comes to song and ordered modulations and reinventions,
Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears should be believed. There are many famous author books published on poems.

Believing that you are actually starving, it releases chemicals that actually make it harder to lose
weight in an effort to conserve energy. Withdrawal from levothyroxine can be done but it takes 6 weeks of withdrawal for the remaining thyroid tissue to
be completely starved. Hence, broccoli is a must-add ingredient in your vegetarian weight
loss diet.

Try simple games and check how your internet connection is and then move
on play more games. The only downside of it in a lot of people's eyes is the fact that there is no multiplayer content. Are you a Kansas City Chiefs or Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

Bears, coyotes, raccoons, and even wolves can be quite unwelcome in your campsite, especially
if they are helping themselves to your food or
your dog's food. They have a sign up that they are closed for cleaning from 2PM to 3PM - while at Buttermilk there is only one bathroom for the whole campground and I can see why they can't close it.
There was no swimming at Buttermilk Falls during the week but the staff suggested we drive two miles to Treman State Park - and WOW what a
swimming hole they have.

“This is what is the most exciting to me, we play the independent
bands that submit to us (and Music Submit), from all kinds of musical genres and it is
a free format, for both the listener and the bands.
Radio not only offers the option of fresh songs but also offers many other features like a talk show or
sports broadcast. Whether you are a fan of NC Hammer or any
other hip hop, you could hear it as many times
as you can in a hip hop radio.

Camping first aid kits are different from the first
aid kits you may have at home, as they will be stocked with supplies to
treat outdoor injuries, such as snakebite, burns,
sprains as well as animal and insect bites. Once you
decide what kind of Oregon coast camping vacation you
are looking for, finding an Oregon coast camping site is a
piece of cake. Found with hill farms precisely set in Betws-y-Coed,
the main attraction for campers is still the famous
peak of Tryfan.

Once you have the centers prepared, there are a number of ways to decorate the outside.
There are different gestures for different moments, moods and each gesture is unique in its own way.
Cake decorating is absolutely not confined to large cakes by any

It bears mentioning that there are also games and simulations
available to those wanting to learn to trade stock index futures.
Aside from the obvious difficulties of pitching so brilliantly in such a high pressure
situation, Larsen's feat is even more impressive when one considers that the Dodgers had four future Hall of Famers in their lineup: Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Pee Wee Reese. The most unique thing about Ouya is that it is said to be "open" -- although what this means is up for interpretation.

When writing this article I found some great information

Even though most liquid fuel stoves are more powerful and provide great heat output
than canister stoves, they are not as convenient.

This idea would be perfectly done with camping,
it allows a camper to acquire the utmost relaxation which is the basic
objective of the activity. Once you decide what kind of Oregon coast camping vacation
