Late baby shower/luncheon

amtrak18 · January 2013

Hi- so my mom called me yesterday and told me a friend of hers wants to throw a luncheon for me(this is my second). I wasn't expecting anything as this is my second and we really have gone out and gotten most everything we needed or we already had it. Here is the funny thing this is the same friend of my mom's who through me a shower with the first 3 weeks before I was due and I ended up going into labor and was having contractions at the shower and an hour after I left the shower I had my baby boy.

Well fast forward and the shower/luncheon is scheduled 3 weeks before I am due this time. I laughed that I could predict the date of when my baby was going to come(if I were to have the same experiance). I told my mom have her plan it just know I may be in labor or have had the baby. I don't mind if I am in labor(would rather not be but it is really nice of her to offer even though it is late) but my concern is what if I already have the baby. Being that she will be a NB I don't want to take her(it is being held at a restaurant) and I don't know if I would want to leave her yet. Any thoughts?

I think you shouldn't have a second shower. It's tacky.

It's really nice that your mom's friend wants to do something nice but maybe you and your mom can just meet her for lunch instead, or go get your nails done, something just the three of you.

I agree with this- and if you do deliver early, it would be much easier to reschedule if it's just her and your mom vs. a whole crowd.

I would just let it go on as planned. I've know a lot of people that had an early first baby and an due date or late 2nd, 3rd, etc. If you do have the baby before the luncheon just take him/her. As long as he/she is in a carseat..with blankets etc. I'm guessing the most you would have to do is feed your LO. Otherwise he/she will be comfortable just sleeing away in the carseat. I LOVED it when my kids were that young. Going to a restaurant was soooo much easier! I could actually enjoy myself. Not so much these days. lol

I agree 100. If someone wants to throw you a little party I think it's rude to decline, that's like you telling them that they are being tacky.
