- [Stephen] This video is brought to you by Squarespace. My name is Stephen and in mere moments, I'm going to surprise my very pregnant wife. As in, we are due in exactly seven days from today with a baby shower, one she has no idea that I've planned. But before she walks through that door, let's cut back to a month ago when I started planning all of this. (upbeat music) This is my beautiful wife, Jess, and late last year, we got the best surprise of our lives. - It's like my (gasps). Oh my God. (whimpers) - She's honestly my biggest inspiration. And all while having our little girl tucked inside her tummy, she trekked through 18 countries in the warmest of days and the coldest of nights. Nothing would stop her until a global pandemic (somber music) kinda forced us to stop, nest a little home while we wait for our little girl to arrive. For all the adventures and amazing experiences we've been on, it does come at a small price. Being away all year round means not being able to see our friends and family on the weekends and missing birthdays, Christmases, and barbecues. And one little bit of excitement is that we were wanting to throw a baby shower where all our friends and family could come together in our house, and celebrate our new baby. But, due to COVID-19 and our recommendations from our Premier of social distancing, our baby shower had to get canceled. And I just wanted to quickly say, a small and irrelevant as one person's baby shower being canceled while there are thousands of people out there losing their lives and jobs, as a husband, it did still hit me really hard watching my wife tear up as she canceled her dream baby shower. (whimsical music) Jess has no idea that I'm currently filming this video. It is currently April 14th, and next month I want to throw Jess her dream baby shower for just me and her in quarantine. But the only thing is I have no idea how to throw a baby shower. I think I'm gonna need to get in touch with some of Jess's closest friends and family to give me some ideas 'cause I have no idea. (gentle music) (phone rings) I think the audio's connecting. Cool, it's just connecting. Hello. - [Man] Hello. - Hey Beck. Hello Mema, how you doing? - I'm doing fine. - He can hear me, how's it going? - [Stephen] Hello. Hey Hugo. - How you going? - I'm good, how you going? I see you've dyed the hair to match the jumper. - I did, is it a bit red? Okay good. - This is Larry. - [Stephen] Oh, hey Larry. I have a favor. Your sister, did you notice she's having a baby soon? - Wait, Jess? - [Stephen] Yes. - A baby? (laughs) Wait. - Surprise! So as you know at the moment, there seems to be a bit of, in a bit of a pandemic. - I'm aware. - I noticed. - [Stephen] You noticed? - I did notice that. - Oh, yes. (laughs) - That kinda means that we can't have a baby shower. - Sadly, we can't hang out anymore, I can't organize it which sucks. - I was thinking of throwing her a surprise baby shower for just me and her. I got my little, I got my little planning hat. (laughs) - Cute, aw. - Official. - Baby shower. - Well planning that for Jess, wow. - This is the best thing ever. Now, my favorite part is that you got it in pink, that's definitely the highlight. (laughs) - You're a bloody genius. (laughs) - So baby showers are generally, a female affair would you agree? I think guys aren't even allowed to come. - No, not usually. - I would agree that is the general trend for sure. - I have no idea. I wanna throw her a baby shower, what is involved? - Okay, I have lots of ideas. Are you gonna have a theme? - Like pirate theme? - No, pirates (laughs). She's having a girl. - But like a Mad Hatter theme or like a Disney theme? 'Cause I know Jess loves Disney. - What I think you and Jess but you are particularly good at is helium balloons. - I'm thinking, food. - The whole table is full of food. - Bliss balls, you know like something yummy but also healthy. - Have like donuts hanging. - Well, considering that it's a quarantine baby shower, in non-quarantine ones you'd have games. - Funnest part is the games. - A lot of baby showers have games. So like pass the parcel or like. - Or like pass the diaper? - Is you get nappies. - [Stephen] Okay. - And you melt different chocolate bars into the nappies. (laughs) - I can see where you're going with this. - And then Jess has to figure out-- - She needs to find out which one is actually not chocolate. (laughs) - Were you gonna use yourself as the specimen for that? That's digust-- This is why boys aren't allowed to be involve in these things. (laughs) (gentle music) There's always a section where it says like advice for the new mummy and people will film that. - So if there's people that can't come, if you could face, on this like website, you can FaceTime them and then you can play games with them even Heads Up, Seven Up. - Honestly, I would be more than happy to do it though Steve. - I have a friend, who makes really amazing cakes that lives in Perth. I'm gonna message her and see if she will make one. I'll pay for it. - No, no, no. You don't have to pay for it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'll pay for it. No, no, no, no, no. - But here's the thing, you've done everything. (laughs) - I appreciate the help. - Sucks that it's quarantine but I love that you're going to so much effort to make it so special still. - Aw thanks Beck. - Like 'cause even though everyone can't be there and that sucks? Like it's still gonna be so memorable because crazy timing. You're doing good kid, I'm proud of ya. (laughs) - Aw, thank you. - Where's Jess? Well, she isn't part of this call because it's a secret. We keep it a secret from her. - Well, well, well, this is happening again, even after the chaos of last week. (dramatic music) - So one thing before Jess had to initially cancel the baby shower that she wanted to host, she managed to order one thing on Etsy. It was actually very simple, it was some cookie cutters. So it's like shaped as a bottle, shaped as like an outfit, shaped as like a little rattle. And they've kinda has been sitting kind of sadly in the bottom of our draws. So I thought I'd honor this for Jess, bake the cookies, so at least when she comes to the baby shower, it's like a little piece of her helping plan the baby shower. So I'm gonna make some cookies, some sugar cookies with some icing but the chaos of today planning begins now. When you buy just terrible icing sugar? (laughs) I don't know how well this is gonna turn out. Okay, so to distract Jess, get her out the house, Heidi was kind enough to say, "Hey, do you wanna just go head out shopping?" So Jess was like, "That sounds great." - So this is what happens when you have two people that don't know how to direct. So we're just standing here in mount Morely trying to be one with the map. (laughs) And it's not working out very well. - When Heidi came in 'cause she's helping actually prepare some amazing things. Look at what she's done. She's made something like high tea for us. Look at these incredible balls. Another thing just got delivered. Everyone's been so generous with helping us. So Beck and Paul and all the kids have organized a baby cake for us. Look this thing like oh my goodness! It's amazing. But now that Jess has left the house, it is time to fully decorate. Wish me luck guys. (air whooshing) - You are particularly good at is helium balloon. (air whooshing) - Oh my gosh, that is gonna give me an anxiety attack. (giggles) Alrighty, got a little donut wall, I think we can hold 20 donuts. ♪ The way you move is a electrified ♪ ♪ You know how to get me ♪ - It's a girl so should I have like blue balloons? - Pink balloons. - Pink balloons. - Oh, okay cool I'll make sure I. - Pink balloons. - And purple! ♪ I like the way you move ♪ ♪ Woo oh oh oh ♪ ♪ I like the way you move ♪ ♪ Woo oh oh oh ♪ ♪ Everything you do ♪ ♪ Woo oh oh oh ♪ ♪ 'Cause you like you do you ♪ ♪ Eh ♪ - Filled with helium. It's not flighty, that's all right. - [Beck] For a looking cupcake or. - Some friends that I called for advice have asked me to come and pick up some gifts to add to the baby shower. So I'm running around collecting some presents to put up there. - So my sister-in-law, she runs like a little business on the side from home, she does like succulents so she did really cute little pink succulents - [Stephen] That's so cool. Different prizes which I now just realized it's probably just gonna be Jess winning all the succulents to go in the house. - [Heidi] Yeah we're trying to look for our own Whistles (laughs) and this is where Jess took us. - Parcel. - Definitely was not expecting post with baby stuff in it.

Like what is this? Whoever this is, you think you're gonna make me cry because this is just too much. Thank you so much. You know what I decided to do was, so that her family and her friends can feel a bit more involved, I went and got some like baby prediction cards. What they think when she will be born, labor length, some like advice from like cousins and aunties and friends and stuff. So then I'll put these and then eventually we'll stick them into the baby book but at least Jess can kinda feel like they here in spirit because we got all these for her. Alrighty kinda one of the finishing touches. You can't have a baby shower without a welcoming sign. I did get this made and printed over a month ago. I was initially planning to have this baby shower on Jess's birthday. Birthday week happened so I had to push it back in couple of days. So the dates a little bit wrong but also I can't reprint it today so hopefully it's all good. Jess just arrived, she's gone down, I see her coming through into the house. All right, time for the showtime. I have a little invitation for her, inviting her to a private baby shower with me and her. Let's see how she reacts. ♪ Today is my day ♪ ♪ Today is my day ♪ ♪ Today is my day ♪ - I have one last surprise - Hello - [Stephen] for you, you need to put this on. - Okay. - [Stephen] I know that the birthday week is over but I thought-- - What have you.
