Re: Shower Poll! (a.k.a it's slow today!)
My Friday at work is dragging...and I can't seem to motivate to get more done! I've been on the bump more today than the last two weeks
How many showers are you being given? Just one and its very small. -- I didn't even want that one, since I'm not much of a shower person. I'm older and pretty independent, so I feel guilty asking people to buy things (even though I know they want to). I had a large bridal shower and found it really tiring and a little overwhelming (and I could have wine at that one).
Do any of your showers have a theme that you know of? Its a Jack and Jill so DH (and his friends) will be there too. Its just family and close friends. DH is more into the shower than I am.
How many weeks will you be when your shower is held? 31 weeks
What are you giving the hostess(es) as a thank you gift? I have 5 hostesses, so I'm going small with personalized picture frames they can use with them and the baby.
Will you buy a new outfit for the occasion(s)? still deciding. I have a perfect dress to wear (and I really don't want to spend more $$ on mat clothes), but if I see something cute I'll pick it up.
Where did you register? BRU and BBB.
IUI#2 - 01/07/09 = BFP!!! Twins!! Pre-term labor 20 weeks
IUI#3 - 1/31/10 = BFP!!!! M/C - 8wks
IVF #1 - 7/2010 = c/p
FET - 9/2010 = another c/p
IUI#4 - 2/14/11 = BFP!
To answer my own questions...
How many showers are you being given? 5
I know it is excessive, but we have a ton of friends and with twins coming I didn't want to tell anyone no!
Do any of your showers have a theme that you know of? one is a couple's shower/cookout - more for DH's friends, one is a scrapbooking shower, 2 are work showers (I have two different lines of business), and the last one is for DH's family who mostly don't speak English
How many weeks will you be when your shower is held? I will be almost 27 weeks at the first one. I wanted to get them all out of the way before I was too uncomfortable.
What are you giving the hostess(es) as a thank you gift? I have no idea!! I need ideas!
Will you buy a new outfit for the occasion(s)? My mom bought me some really cute dresses a few weeks ago for my birthday so I'll wear one of those.
Where did you register? Amazon.com...thinking about adding in Target.

How many showers are you being given? 3... one in my hometown out of state, one in DH's hometown here, and one at work with my close coworkers.
Do any of your showers have a theme that you know of? not that I know of, the only one I've been to so far didn't have a theme... just baby shower. lol
How many weeks will you be when your shower is held? I was 27w for my hometown shower since I had to travel so far to get there, 30w for my shower tomorrow in DH's hometown, and around 34w for my work shower (don't know exact date yet, but sometime in mid-September, I'm due late October).
What are you giving the hostess(es) as a thank you gift? For my BFFs that threw my hometown shower I got them a set of conjoined flower pots and matching candleholder/tray for their new places. I had wanted to do a mani/pedi day with them but there just wasn't enough time while I was in town since they were working and the shower was on the only weekend day I was there. I think bottles of wine are a good gift too.
Will you buy a new outfit for the occasion(s)? I bought several dresses online and took them all with me to figure out which one I wanted to wear. I plan on wearing my other favorite that I didn't wear at my hometown shower to the one here tomorrow.
