  • Hello all! Hope all is well!

    QOTD: I will absolutely be having a baby shower. I'm thinking backyard bbq style though. Nothing too outrageous. 

  • Loading the player...
  • The due date link is an AWESOME idea!! Thanks for that!

     QOTD: I will probably have one b/c my bff and mom will want me to have one.  I don't really like being the center of attention like that and feel awkward in those situations (I hated my bridal shower!!), but I will do it to appease family!

  • Yep! This is our first.  I just helped plan my sisters baby shower not too long ago, and I told my mom that something along those lines would be great, small, intimate, just abunch of women hanging out and laughing.

  • I don't think so since I just had three of them a year ago. One of my friends mentioned that a few of my close girlfriends might get together and have a diaper shower or something. I have a lot of what I need besides girl clothes (if it is a girl). We'll see. :)

    Have a good weekend!

  • Happy Friday to all!

     QOTD: My sisters are actually fighting over when to throw the shower!  One wants it in August since she leaves for college in September, one wants October since August is "way to early!" Apparently I get no say in this!  When I requested no stupid baby shower games, they both laughed at me!

  • We will definitely NOT be having a shower. This is my 3rd DC and 2nd in under 2 years.

    I will be "registering" but only for myself. I want the completeion discount at the end and I want a way to keep a list of the things we need for the new baby.

  • Are you going to have a baby shower?

    I know I will have a couple. As my mom said, we can have one in August, one in Sept, one in Oct and baby in November. My co-workers already told me they are having one. I am guessing I will end up having 3.

  • Happy Friday!

    I suspect I will have one thrown for me, though I have to say I haven't even come close to thinking about this sort of thing yet. 

  • Heck yah.
    My hopes - several smaller ones as opposed to 1-2 bigger ones. I have a HUGE family, lots of friends and about 20 female co-workers who I am close to. I hear plans are already in the works.

    I am not that close with a group of my DH's friends so I would feel uncomfortable inviting the women to a shower with my family but we want to awknowledge so what we have decided to do is have a baby blessing at our house for all of those friends (no gifts). Just a BBQ or something.

  • Don't know about a shower, but I hope so.  I'm sure my mom would do something...once I tell her I'm KU!!  Should be this weekend. 
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I had 2 less than a year ago...so NO.
  • We will probably not be having a shower either since this is my second little one.

     I do like the idea of regestering as a way to keep track of everything we need though!  And I'm sure there will be friends/family who want to pick up gifts even though we aren't having a formal shower.  Great idea!

  • Hope everybody is having a good Friday! I know I am! I had my second ultrasound today and the baby looks perfect. Measuring right on track.

    QOTD- I will absolutely be having a baby shower. More than one i'm sure! DH and i both have huge families with both of our parents being divorced and remarried. For our wedding there were 2 showers plus a bbq that his grandmothers friends from church gave us. I just hope there are no silly games. NMS at all.

  • I think I'll have maybe 2 showers. One at work (the standard) and one with family and friends. I can't even imagine what my mom, sister, and friends are going to come up with. They are all pretty darn crafty :o) I can't wait to register! And considering this is our first baby, we need pretty much everything and having a shower definitely helps!

    Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

  • I think so! My SIL already mentioned throwing one and I am sure my best friend will get in on it too. I was really lucky that they planned a fabulous Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party for me less than a year ago (we got married last September), so I hope I haven't exhausted my share of parties!

    My mom and her sisters are already thinking about where to have it, as I live in Jersey my parents live in upstate NY and most of our friends and family live in NYC... I cant wait to register but probably wont due so until we find out the sex. My mom wants to have a co-ed shower but Im thinking just the ladies is probably better.. Have to find a polite way to bring this up.

  • My mom might be throwing me a "sprinkle" since this is our second.  Especially if it is a girl since we have nothing for a girl.

  • Happy Friday Everyone!

     Hope everyone is well.

    QOTD: I will not have a baby shower. We are Jewish and typically Jewish people do not have showers or purchase much for the baby until the baby is born. I do plan to have an Open House type event after the baby is born though.
     

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Yes, we will be having one...possibly too.  My family is here in California and is already starting to plan one.  DH's family is on the east coast and there is talk about them having one for us there too
  • I feel guilty saying this, but I will have 3 before it's said and done.  My family in MI will have one, H's family wants to do a joint shower for me & my SIL and there will also be a friend's shower from my best friend.
  • IDK if I'll have a shower.  This is my second kid, but my oldest is almost 5 so we don't exactly have the baby stuff anymore.  I just feel weird about it b/c we just got married less than 5 months ago and everyone bought us gifts for that.  I love showers for the chance to get together but I think I'll feel guilty getting gifts!
  • I think I will have two showers. One earlier (July I think) for my family and their friends so my sister can go. She's starting a semester abroad and she leaves in early August. And a couples shower for all of our friends and coworkers in late August, early September.
  • I'm going to say no (but then I didn't know or plan my 1st it was a surprise).  This is our second, and our 1st is just 1 year.  I could see my aunts and some close friends throwing a little party during football seaons if its a boy. 
  • QOTD - Are you going to have a baby shower? (thanks lolonyo)
    I hope so, but we shall see!
  • I would like to... but who knows.  For all my work friends I tend to be the shower planner and I'm not giving myself one!
  • I will probably have a few.  Our church always hosts a shower for your first baby and I'm sure MIL's church will probably do that same.  There is girl that I work with that is pregnant too and the other girls are already talking about throwing us a combined shower, which will be fine with me!  I'm excited to have a shower and get baby stuff!!!
  • I don't think so.  This is my third and DD will only be 2.5 when the baby is born.  I did have a shower with my second, but the first two were 10 years apart and it was the first baby for MH.

    We might have a no gifts open house or something after the baby is born so that this baby gets celebrated too.  We'll see...

  • QOTD - Are you going to have a baby shower?

    I don't know. This is my third child and I already have a boy and a girl who were born around the same time of year, so the new baby will be using a lot of hand-me-downs. If someone wants to throw me one that's fine (although I don't like being the center of attention!), but if not that's fine too!

  • I will probably end up have 2 like I did with my wedding - In laws to left, my family and friends to the right. It sucks that it's split, but it's gotta be that way. :(

  • Yes, DH's aunt and a good friend of the family are going to throw it. Any event that involves cake is excellent.

  • Yes, I hope so! My mom's already asked me about who to invite and if I want work people and people from Boston (where i currently live). The shower would be in NY since that's where I'm from and all of our family and friends are there... But I did specify that I wanted it to be a surprise (my wedding shower was supposed to be a surprised but someone accidentally told me). I'll be suspicious when I'm further along and visiting in NY. :-)

  • My parents and sister started planning my baby shower the second that bfp showed up. They are already discussing themes and classy games (none of that "spoon the marshmallows into the bowl while blindfolded" silliness). I can't wait :)
  • Happy Friday everyone! 

    QOTD: I am having a baby shower because it has been almost 6 years since DD was born and I have absolutley no baby stuff to hand down.  I do know that this time I want my baby shower to be VERY different.  I have banned  Winnie the Pooh and all Cartoon Character themes.  I did that to death with DD and this time I want my shower to be very chic.  My best friend (she's throwing it) came up with A Star is Born if it's a girl (a brunch type menu) and Daddy's Lil Giant (DH is a Giants fan) if it's a boy (tailgating type menu). 

  • Good morning ladies. I hope you are all doing well and have exciting plans this weekend. We are going to tell DH's parents this weekend and couldn't be more excited. Then we leave for Vegas on Monday. Sunshine here we come!

    ?QOTD - Are you going to have a baby shower??I sure hope so. This is my husband and my first baby so I would assume one of our moms or sister's will put together a shower for us.

  • My family lives across the country, but my parents will be here anyway in late september, so my mom and my sister (who will also fly out) are going to throw me a shower then. 
  • I'm sure my mother will throw one.  I'm anticipating I'll get a second one by BF's family in Indiana too.  YAY!
  • Yes, my sister is already planning it. She said she was throwing it the second I told her we were pregnant :) This is our first baby, so it will be so fun to get all of that baby stuff!?

    I know the ladies at my mom's work will throw her a grandma shower, too. They did this for a teacher a few years ago. She'll love it! ?
