Some more details about the Tea Party!
For a few who need to pop-in quickly, this may be easier before 2pm or after 3pm so we can manage to say a quick hello – and honour those sharing encouragements & prayers from 2.15 – 3.15 pm. Thanks!
We’re Corona-caring so the party is as small and short as possible, mostly outdoors. We ask you to please bring a mask for when you are inside or chatting up close 🙂 thank you!
We’ll all gather around to share messages and perhaps just a few gifts. If you would like to bring a gift – there is a gift list just below for some ideas of things that haven’t been borrowed or gifted already!
The baby/baby room colours are mint green and dusky/light pink with a cloud, rain and rainbow theme (not unicorns).
Pssst! So you can tailor-make your tips and wishes – It may help to know that to keep Mom & Baby healthy in special circumstances Claire will be having an Elective (pre-planned) Caesarian Section about a week before her due date (18 February 2021) and baby will be bottle-fed from the start. Oh, and using cloth nappies from her third month.
So breast pumps and amazing tips on Lamaze breathing may be wasted, sadly 😉
