Survivied the Baby Shower

Hi Ladies,

I thought I would share that I survived the baby shower I hosted this weekend!! I was actually surprised how easy it was. I think hosting it was the best thing I could have done. I rushed around, getting food prepared and out, making sure eveything was ready etc. I really didn?t have time to stop and think about the fact I was at a baby shower. During gifts I made myself busy which was nice, if I was just a guest I would have had to sit and look at all the clothes while joining in with the ooows and awwws. I just made sure I put someone else in charge of writing down all the gifts bc I knew I couldn?t handle that and one person asked me to take pictures during gifts and I just declined because I knew that would be hard. I could also escape to the back room if i needed a quick breather, I had to at one point when other family friend asked my Mom when DH and I were going to have kids. I just feel horrible for my mom because she gets the ?s as much as I do.

Thought I would share since I know some of you have a baby shower in the future. Just keep yourself busy!

    Awesome! Glad it went well :)  I definitely prefer throwing/helping with showers than being a guest- I need to keep myself busy for sure!

    Good for you! I'm glad you had some coping strategies worked out ahead of time and that everything went well.

    Hoping it's your turn soon.

    I am glad it went so well.  That is always my game plan when I have been involved with baby showers.  I always stay busy in the kitchen, etc.
