My baby shower is Sunday, but...

LO's room looks like we already had a shower! I don't have very much family (my mom is an only child and I don't speak to my dad/his side of the family) and my SO's family all lives in Texas and Mexico, so when I sent out 60 invites to almost all friends, I didn't expect too many RSVPs. I was nervous when I made out the list of people that were definitely coming and it was only about 40. Well, all the family that live far away have been sending gifts, which shocks me because they are family I don't see too often. Today we got our pack and play from one of my cousins in Canada that I haven't seen in five years! I did not expect such an expensive present from someone that I'm not that close to anymore and the gifts just keep coming.
We're all set for our shower Sunday and I registry stalk (bad girl...I know!) and all of our "necessary" items have been purchased (crib, stroller, pnp, bassinet, etc.), so that makes me even more excited! I was so worried with a small amount of people coming that we would have to scrounge up some money for the expensive things, but it looks like we won't have to after all.

Re: My baby shower is Sunday, but...
Same thing I said...but Congrats! You wont have to worry about a thing...and have fun writing all those thank you cards lol
I've only been to a few baby showers and they've all been huge (75+ people!), so when I saw 40, I thought it'd be a little small...but all of you ladies are making me feel so much better! It looks like Sunday is going to be a good day for all of us. The weather here in Michigan is going to be 75 and partly cloudy, so perfect! I was so relieved to see all of our big purchases off the registry...I'd much rather have to buy a bunch of clothes and little things than a $300 crib! Everyone have fun at their showers!
SCANDAL!
That's great! My shower is a week from Sunday and cross country, so things have already been arriving from our Amazon registry, and like someone said, it's like Christmas on my doorstep! I love it! I'm so excited to have gotten so much of the big stuff from family and friends, carseat, stroller, PnP, bathtub, carrier, ect. I'm still looking over our registries though and thinking we will have to fill in the gaps on quite a few things, but mostly smaller type items like a couple extra sheets, changing pad and covers, CD supplies, ect., and maybe the monitor. I've also noticed from my registry stalking that people seem to love bath stuff, most of what's been bought and stuff I have already received have been bath time items, towels, washcloths, baby bath wash, inflatable duckie tub for when baby is older, and the infant tub.
