Baby shower date

Are you doing a baby shower and if so, when? Have you also done much buying or are you waiting for baby shower to decide what to buy?

For me, friends tare throwing one for me on 30 May. My due date now is 5 July. Haven't done much buying only the immediate basics... Will wait until the shower to decide what more I need.

Isn't it exciting? !?!  I am due July 19th and am having my shower a week from Saturday on April 18th!   :)  I am over the moon excited! !!  It is my first baby and the first grand child on both sides!

  Anyway, my mom is throwing me my shower in my hometown. ... which is a three hour drive for me but we can store stuff at their house then, so it works!  :)  

I did a mixture.   We felt we wanted a brand new crib because consumer reports recommended it.  It is supposed to be safest that way. We wanted one in particular since I am short and I charmed my way to twenty percent off.  LOL! We got a ton of free stuff from one of our groomsmen, whose sons were our ring bearers, and I am overwhelmed at their generosity!  Bibs, bassinet,  burp cloths, w ashcloths, clothes, breast pump, bottles, bedding for bassinet and changing pad, Boppy covers....  they are so awesome!   I plan to wait to see what we get in terms of "hoarding" some diapers, wipes, diaper cream for rash prevention,  gripe water, etc.  

I also think I will get a few of my registry items for myself after the shower if no one gets them.... to help with decorating the nursery and the angel guardian sensor alarm system to help thwart SIDs.
Excited! !!!!  A happy and healthy pregnancy for you all!  ♡☆♡☆♡  :)

Due July 30, shower scheduled for june 14.10 years since last baby and our first boy. I did buy stroller, car seat, 2 bases, breast pump, bouncy, bassinet, crib, and crib mattress,but that was because our families had mixed feelings about us having another shower. So maybe more of a sprinkle?

I'm having one on the 18th April and due 08th July.
My MIL is going on a 3 month road trip around Australia on the 28th and we wanted her to be a part of it (obviously).
We've got all the big things like pram, car seat, cot, change table, moses basket, some clothes and blankets etc. But that's because I've been told I'm not to buy ANYTHING else until after the baby shower. I've got my mum, sisters, Nan, aunt, mother in law, sister in laws and family friends who are known to go way overboard lol

I don't know when Im gonna have a baby shower :/ It's so hard to plan when I don't know how I feel with symptoms and pain so far in the future. I would like to host one myself together with my hubby, since we are in on this together and will take equally care of the baby. Anyhow, it's so hard to decide on a date. How do you do it?

I'm due July 11th my baby shower is being thrown on April 25th. I haven't bought much for myself but others, such as my parents and friends parents, have been buying me stuff here and there throughout my whole pregnancy. So I decided to make a list of things I already have to go out with my invitations since I have quite a bit. And I thought that would be easiest.
