Shower at 36 weeks?

My sis booked my shower for the end of February. I will be 36 weeks by then. Is it cutting it too close? Also, we live in ny. February is always iffy with snow storms. I'm concerned. Thoughts?

    36 weeks will be fine.  In terms of snow, sounds like any time leading up to your due date will be iffy with snow, so really the best thing you can do is keep your fingers crossed and suggest a backup date to your hostess.  Good luck!

    I had a shower at 35 weeks and one at 37 and it was fine. Granted we didn't have snow here yet but with weather you never know so try not to worry about it.

    I think it's fine. Mine was just before 36 weeks (it was on Sunday, I was 36 weeks Tuesday). DS came 2 weeks early and everything was all set up and what wasn't, we had lots of time to do it after he was born. Babies sleep A LOT :)

    I had one of my showers at 36 weeks. I had E at 39 wks 1 day and was totally ready.

    Snow sucks, but you can't really wait until April...

    I agree with the other pps.  I had one at 36, one at 37 and one at 38.  None of my babies were early though.  If you should deliver before the shower...the guests will get to meet the little one!  It might be a good idea to purchase the carseat yourself - just in case.  Most everything else can wait since you'll come home from the hospital with a lot of stuff (blanket, onesie, lots of diapers, and even a small diaper bag.

    You'll be okay. My baby shower is this Saturday and I'm already 38 weeks. I was cutting it short, but hey, I made it right on through! As for the snow storms, you'll have to choose a date that you predict will be okay for the shower. And if you have it in an indoor location, you'll be better off anyway :)

    Good advice about the carseat. I just realized I better do the same because our shower is being thrown for us 3 weeks before baby's due date. Never thought about. But hey one less thing for the registry.

    Tee hee. I thought the same thing. Mine is today, and I feel ready. I think it will give me things to do as I'm slowing down at work and haven't really had a chance to set up the nursery and play with baby stuff!  It's exciting!  Will make the rest of he uncomfortable stage go by quicker, I'm sure!
