Baby shower

[FirstBaby10_2]

So I was looking at the last weekend of July to do my baby shower (il be 30 weeks then)... But my fiances mom decides she wants to do it in late august ( I'd be about 33 wks) or early september(36 wks).  We'll I really did not want to do it that late. We don't have money last minute just to pull out of our ***** to buy the rest if the baby stuff I don't get at the shower for one, and for two, what if I was early? I mean my mom had me around 33 wks, what if my baby comes that early thn I'm kinda screwed. Idk it's irritating. I just wanna be in control of everything lol but everyone says let family plan the shower.

Im 35+5 right now and have 3 showers they are all in the same weekend ill be 37 weeks its just how it turned out were im still working a full schedule and work every other week end its just when there going to do it and I figured if she showed up early then all our Family and friends would get to see her.... we have bought a few items just incase like her car seat some close diapers wipes and a cradle im going to breastfeed so i only bought a pack of bottles so were good if she showed up early

They'd no need to stress kids always change the plans and im just happey ti get a healthy baby girl in the next 30 days

Lol, ya we're saving money now, but I'm worried about going into labor early mostly. My mom had 4 kids and never went past. 36 weeks. And ik every persons different, but iv got a feeling baby girl will be here early. And I really don't think I'm gonna wanna have a shower at 36+ weeks lol il most likely be too miserable

Screw that! You plan it and you have it when you want it! Mines next weekend and I refuse to have it any later I am already huge and my back and feet hurt all the time! It will already be hot as hell and I have to deal with way too many family members! I'm having it when I wanna have it! Lol

Oh and I was 34 wks ftm usually don't go into labor until there due date or later. But you just never know tell her about your situation so that your shower can be done earlier

My mother in law and my mom organized my baby shower. It was last weekend and it all was great. What they did was that my mother in law's invitations where money tree and my mom's invitations were not. I got lots of gifts and $997 (: some are still pending cuz they didn't make it to the shower. Maybe if your worried you won't have enough money to buy stuff your baby still needs after shower you can do what was done in my shower, just an idea. Goodluck (:

It's nice that you have someone to throw the shower.  Ask her if it can be no later than late August, since that 33-week number is so significant to you.  Regarding your comment about not having the money at the last minute to buy baby stuff, there is nothing to prevent you from saving all your money from now until the shower, against that list you will have to buy after the shower.  In other words, now or then, money is money.  Put it in the bank and earn a little credit with your banker, and then pull it in August and go on a spree.  (ps -- You don't have to buy tons of stuff before the baby comes, once the crib and basics are in place.  I did a lot of shopping with my baby, it gave me some things to do in the weeks after he came.  His arrival helped me get clear on what things were really needed and what were just on some list somewhere.)

You should tell her she can plan it but that's when you want it. Mines at 29 weeks. I know my dads gf wanted to throw it for me but I like to be in control so I told her she can help me. I say 30 weeks is a great time to have it.
