What did you get the most of at your shower?
Were you surprised by anything you didn't get any of?
I got 14 bibs at my shower and of course tons of girl clothes.
I was surprised I didn't any hooded towels or receiving blankets. I was told I'd get a ton of them.

Re: What did you get the most of at your shower?
I haven't had my shower yet, one of the towels off of my registry has been bought (and the robe and wash clothes that match YAY) Just thought I'd share :-)
Plus, I am not sure if all Marc's carry the same thing, but I went to Marc's with my mom yesterday and got a towel and wash cloth set for $.99. And it was really nice for a baby towel and washcloth. So if you are in need of this and you have a Marc's, check it out.

We got onesies out the wazoo. And all NB size, only a few that are 3m+. (Probably not a good idea, since apparently this baby will be born around 9 lbs, so who knows how long he/she will be in that size.)
We got no cloth diapers, even though we had registered for them and had really 'spread the word' that's what we were doing. I'm not complaining because overall people were generous- I was just surprised.
I got a TON of 0-3 clothes, but no diapers at one shower and tons of diapers and no clothes at another!
The only things we're having to really get on our own are some of the smaller, boring items people didn't want to give, like the drying rack, and a few bigger items, like the jumper and carrier.

Car seats. We got two and a gift card to buy one. Registry fvck up extraordinaire.?
Aside from that ... not a lot of any one thing. One bath set with washcloths and one bib. One set of towels that we registered for. Very few clothing items. Absolutely nothing of the standard "you'll get a ton of ___".?

I've had all four of my showers now, and am completely overwhelmed by the amount of clothes we got for our LO. We also got somewhere around 30 blankets.
I really didn't get many burp cloths or newborn size clothes, which I thought I'd get a bunch of.
Barely any clothes, that really surprised me. Money and gift cards is what we mostly got
...and blankets galore. People gave us something little plus a card (with the money). Best present EVER! DH and I haven't had to buy much out of our own pocket thanks to that, we went out and picked up the stuff we needed and really wanted of what we didn't receive. We will have to really go splurging once baby outgrows his 0-3 month clothing though, we only have a couple outfits and want to see what season he'll be wearing them in before getting them.
We had about 50 people...so a pretty big crowd. We got about 10 packages of diapers, about 6 packages of wipes, 10-15 outfits/onesies, receiving blankets, our travel system, high chair, glider, our lightweight stroller, some bibs, a few things of pacifiers, and some other little things.
Believe it or not I got a ton of picture frames and clothes. One package of diapars and no recieving blankets. I got the travel system and mattress for the crib. So now I can afford blankets myself.
out of 2 showers we got lots of burp rags (cloth diapers), receiving blankets, hooded towels, 0-3 clothes, 15 lg boxes of wipes, and diapers (2 packages of NB, 2 size 1s, 2 boxes of 2's and a packages of 3's. We got 4 dishwasher caddies (and still had to manually update the registry saying we got it), lots of grooming kits, 3 binkie thermometers, and 2 of the high chair booster seats we registered for.
We ended up taking the 3 extra dishwasher caddies back, and regifted some other things, but am taking advantage of the the other extras. My mom is our babysitter, so I sent half the burp rags, the extra bouncer, part of the receiving blankets and one of the thermometers over to her house. The extra booster I will either send to my MIL's or keep in case we end up with 2 babies back to back.
We just had our shower and I was very proud of everyone for shopping off of the registry!
I thought that we would get a ton of clothes, but we only got a few things in each size.
