Anyone Else having LATE baby showers?

our1stbabynov · September 2010

I am currently 33 weeks and my 1st shower is scheduled for next Sunday, September 26th. My large family/friends shower is on October 3rd and my co-workers are throwing me a shower on October 23rd, I am due Nov. 5th. I would have liked everything to be done before October 1st, to have everything organized and ready for our little girl, but with our schedules (mine and the hostesses) it was hard to pin-point dates.

I'm kinda freaking out that we don;t have a lot of our necessities and that our registries don't have anything puchased!! We did buy the crib, dresser and pack n play. I don't expect people to buy the things that are over $100.00. Just running out of time!

I can relate, my big family shower is when I'm 36 weeks. later than what I'd like, but it's the date my hostess chose so I can't be too picky. I plan no stalking my registry Embarrassed

to keep an eye on what I'll need to purchase myself, as I was hoping to have everything bought and set up by then.

I had 3 before my first baby and they were all after I was well past 35 weeks! Fortunately, she was born ON her due date! lol

Mine is at 36 weeks! I'm going shopping the day after to get the rest of what I *need* from my registry so I have time to get everything together.

My family shower will be at about 34 weeks...I don't know about my work shower yet!

Mine is "scheduled" for November 27, 4 weeks to the day LO is due. I use the term scheduled loosely... but that seems to be when the hostess (mil) wants to do it.

I don't think its ideal to have the shower that late, but I'm not planning on anyone purchasing anything major for us. We bought the crib, bedding, wall art, pack and play, and my mom bought the travel system already. So if she comes early and we don't get the shower it won't be the end of the world.

This is my second child (ds is 7) so we bought all of our big stuff ourselves. My shower is 6 weeks before my due date and I am a little stressed about it even though we already have the big stuff. I was very overwhelmed today when I walked through the store and realized how much little stuff we still needed.

I had my family/friends shower at 31 weeks so I am all set since they bought pretty much evrything off my registry. But I'm having my work shower on Oct 1st which I'll be 37 weeks for but seeing as how we're all set already this is just like a bonus shower. I can see how you would feel it's gtg late since it's your main shower.

Mine is tomorrow (36 w 2 d) and we planned a trip to BRU for Sunday to get everything else we need. Quite frankly, I Was woored it was late, but we just finished the nursery.

MIne is next week I will be almost 36 weeks and I think it will be ok, it was the only date that suited the host, which is fine with me. Hopefully the dress I bought will still fit though!

Mine is also scheduled for this coming Sunday and I will be 35 1/2 weeks. I have had a work shower, but this will be the big one with friends and family. Luckily, our parents have already purchased and given us a few of the bigger items, like the travel system, and crib. Just remember, as long as the baby has something to wear, somewhere to sleep, diapers and food, everything else is actually not 'necessary'. It will work out, best of luck!

My only shower is being held the day before I'm 35 weeks. I'm actually really freaked out that it's that late because its a small window to get everything else purchased, set up and ready for LO.

It was pretty much the only date that was available because my hostesses sister is due at the beginning of October so there were only a few weekends after that I could pick from. I sort of wish I would have pushed to have a September shower, oh well.

My first and only baby shower will be this Saturday the 25th. I will be 38 weeks. I just hope baby will stay in that long with contractions since saturday I am not sure that will happen.

Well, I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow and was just asked about my shower by my best friend last weekend (ILs are planning it). So, I'm guessing it's still a couple of weeks away. And there's a church shower & I'm guessing a work shower...all of which are apparently a surprise and all getting closer and closer to game time.

I would like to be having them now, because I'd like to get eveything settled and ready, just in case he makes an early appearance.

The good news is that the crib & changing table were ordered over the weekend and some things were purchased off of one of my registries, so maybe soon...

I had a shower yesterday, 38 weeks and some change. We were pretty minimalistic with our registries and it's becoming more and more apparent that LO doesn't need more than clothes, diapers, and a place to sleep for a few months.

Plan the shower to have fun and celebrate, but don't hold your hopes up that your friends and family will buy alot of necessities. From my experience people like shopping for blankets and clothes, not breastmilk storage bags and diaper genies.
