Rykie's Baby Shower at Kirstenbosch


I had the pleasure to organise one of my best friends baby showers this weekend. Rykie and I have been friends since the age of 6 and about 23 years ago, our parents had a really hard time getting us to do anything but play with our dollies ... now 23 years later, here we are again, both happily married and VERY pregnant about to play with our "dollies" again!

The baby shower was a picnic at Kirstenbosch Gardens, which was the perfect setting on the most amazing day ever! With rainy weather all week last week, our nerves were shattered and with constant forecast checking and a whole lot of praying, we got the most amazing day!

The day started with setting up and then relaxing, eating a healthy apple!

I had a few things planned. Firstly, everyone had to come either dressed in Pink ... if you thought it was a girl, or Blue ... if you leaning towards boy! Check out all the men in Blue!!! :) The second thing: Everyone had to put a baby photo of themselves on the gifts so Rykie & Jacques could guess who the gift was from.
Then Thirdly ... I printed 11 baby related questions, which Rykie & Jacques had to answer, the one with the least amount of correct answers got the punishment ... which was ...

Eating and drinking out of the potty!

Trying to figure out the answers to the questions. They both ended up with 2.5 correct answers, which meant ... they shared the punishment! I have that on video, but couldn't load it ... was just to big!

Rykie & Jacques opening their pressies, guessing the baby photies!

Jacques in hysterics laughing at someone's baby photo.

The beautiful setting with delicious picnic baskets and a lot of people very excited to meet the little Jonck baby!

Marili, Rykie & I, all 3 of us friends since baby days.

A little closer!

The happy parents ... only a few more weeks to go!

Guys, we're so excited for you and we're so blessed to be going through the exact same process with you guys ... we can't wait to meet your little baba and have a beautiful little friend for our baby Woollam.

Love you guys, and Rykie ... happy birthday for today my special friend!

All our love ...

The Woollams
