Showers

My husband and I are choosing to wait to find out the gender. Should I wait and have my showers after the baby comes(my mother in law thinks I should)? Think I want atleast one or two before hand to be sure I have stuff for baby.

Re: Showers

  • You have to be prepared to buy your own baby stuff and a baby is a baby.  You don't need to worry about pink or blue to be ready for baby.  

    I was team green last pregnancy and my mother and friends, graciously, threw me a shower and my items were neutral.  It was no biggie at all.

  • Here's an idea, buy your own stuff! And you are really expecting people to throw you more than one shower? Entitled much? You know you can always register for neutral stuff so you can use it for more than one kid. But you will probably be someone who will have multiple showers for each kid. So you are hopeless. And this is probably MUD.

    My gosh OP...I had to read your post a second time to make sure I'm not going crazy. I'll dismiss the gender thing because I've lost hope in that department. There is no need for you to have multiple baby showers, that's beyond tacky. Please do t be greedy, that's inconsiderate to the person who is throwing you the shower in the first place. Ever heard of gender neutral items? Those should do well. Anything else you may need is dependent entirely on you and your husband. No one else.

  • With my first pregnancy we didn't find out what we were having. We registered for neutral everything, even newborn clothes. I have a big family & ended up with wonderful things which we saved for this baby. I'm so glad we did all neutral last time now it doesn't matter if we have a different sex. I really can't stand all the pink & blue everything, I have the cutest things with baby animals & things like that.
