Baby Shower question...
So a friend of mine just informed me that she wants to throw a shower for me again this time around. (She does this no matter how many children you have, which I think is cool) She wanted to know, since we are not finding out the sex, if I wanted to have the shower before or after the baby is born. I was thinking after in case it's a girl, since I will have nothing for a girl. How long after delivery should I have it? And it will most likely be at my house, which will make things easier on me. Also, should I make a small registry so people will know what kind of diapers I need and creams or lotions? I just wouldn't want to be given diapers that I do not use. Do you think that is reasonable? I know she threw a shower for a lady who was having her 4th child (3rd boy) and she made a registry of toys, clothes, diapers and everything she needed. I didn't think anything of it, but it's okay, right? IF I am having a boy, I definitely won't be needing tons of clothes, but just small things like onesies, diapers, and creams. Let me know what you think. Also, should I just make a small registry now and then wait until I have the baby to finish it (in case it's a girl?) Thanks for any input!!
Thanks! I will enjoy registering again! =)
Lol, Yeah mine was born in October that was exactly what I meant about cold season. I think it's a good idea! I hope you have fun...enjoy registering!!
I think that's what I will do. I'm almost certain I want to have the shower after the baby arrives, that way people know and if they choose to buy an outfit, they will know whether to get blue or pink. With my son, I just got a LOT of neutral stuff and it was mostly classic pooh stuff. I guess when you say you are doing classic pooh, people go overboard with it. lol. No theme this time around! I got so many of the same outfits somehow. So I ended up having to get a lot of boy stuff on my own anway. So I think it would probably be practical to have one after baby.
OH and about people wanting to hold my baby that early...that would be a no-no. I think it's so rude when people ask to hold my child (at a very young age) My mother is very good at protecting and is kind about saying no to people. And since the shower will either be in sept. or oct. I'm sure the cold season will be just beginning and people will have to understand. (family member are a different story, but friends can wait) I still don't like people holding Jeremiah and he is 1! lol.

Sorry I guess I didn't answer the other question. I got offered a baby shower once after my son was born I decided against it, I didn't want people to come just to play pass the baby...but I was a bit more anal because he was born during cold season...
That is a tough questions. If you wanted to you could have the baby shower and put things on it like diapers wipes (neutrual onsies). Then after the baby is born when people come to visit (most people) usually bring a small outfit (especially if you have a girl I'm sure).
Good luck with your decision! :)
