Baby shower

My babies are now 22 and 24. But when they were born I did have showers. I lived away from my family and I was a stay at home mom. So it was my husband, at the time, co workers wives that threw it for me. Very nice ladies, after all, they really didnt know me. At that time I was living in a small town in Sask, Melfort, and talk about sweet people. Its true what they say about small towns.

I had many baby showeres with my first baby. They were all typical baby showers with the silly games and all. Then when I had my 4th~ 11 yrs later, my girlfriends threw me another shower. It was nice bacause I had 3 boys and this baby was a girl so I got some cute girl things. I think that typically you get a baby shower thrown for your first child to help you get the things you need for the baby. After that, you just use the hand me downs.

I don't have any kids but i have been to many baby showers and I think it is good for the the girls to get together and have some fun and it is a chance for the mother to be to get some nice sometimes unusual things for the new baby...so long as everyone has a good time then it is great.

boy, that was almost 7 years ago! Hard to remember what we did. I know we played a few games. one game i remember is you take jars of baby food and peel off the labels. Then you pass them around and have people try to guess what is it the jar. Another game we played you took a chunk of a candy bar and melted it a little and smashed it in a diaper. Then you had to pass it around and everyone had to guess what kind of candy bar it was. I think if you are having a baby of a different gender is should be good to have another baby shower, but my mom wouldn't hear of it. She says it isn't right that you are only supposed to have one for your first one. But my first two kids were girls and my third was a boy and i had nothing boy. oh well.

My family did when I was pregnant with first born. It was more of a get together than a baby shower (other than the presents, that is) as there were no baby shower games, thank goodness. Had my husband known that he probably would have stuck around that day instead of jetting off to the gym! LOL When I was pregnant with my youngest we kind of had a combination baby shower/birthday party as it was held the same day as my first born's birthday party. With him turning 3 at the time and with me being 8 months pregnant it was just easier this way.

My sister had threw me a baby shower. She put the whole thing together. The only did I had to do was show up, lol. It was a great baby shower. Some of my college classmates I hadn't seen in about a year or two was there. So I was excited to see just about all my friends there. We played a couple of games such as guess how many candy is in the bottle, safety pins in the bowl of rice, some questions about my pregnancy, and guessing with a piece of yarn how big my belly was. And I also got a lot of gifts that was much needed. I didn't have to buy much of nothing but smaller diapers, smaller sets of clothing, and milk. Most of those gifts, like the lotion, baby wash, powder, etc., lasted for almost 2 years. Baby Showers are great to have.

I had a baby shower for my first one. I think for the first two that a baby shower is okay. I actually had two baby showers because family was so big. So my fiances family had a baby shower for me. Then my family had a baby shower for me. Different games both times. Lots of gifts. It was great.
