Ashley, i think the beginning of May would be perfect for a shower, maybe the 2nd/3rd week.
But, dont wait THAT long to do it. I had mine all planned out to be held on a Saturday and the Thursday before my shower the baby was born (i was 36 weeks). So yea, i was actually getting the last things ready at the doc's office that day, LOL
i held a "welcoming" party for my son the day after i got back from the hospital, he was 3 days old, so my advice, dont do it a month ahead but TWO, just in case, hehe. ↑ |

| I had 2 showers, at 34 and 35 weeks. It worked out perfectly for me, but with the possibility of having an early baby, it might be better to have it at about 30-32. Also...if you're buying stuff for yourself, GO BIG! I got tons of 0-3 and 3-6 stuff at my showers, and I'm left with almost nothing for my baby to grow into. We've been gradually stocking up on bigger stuff. I also was given quite a few packs of size 1 diapers...so if you're buying to stock up, start with 2s and 3s, so you have them later on. Most new moms I've talked to only went through about one or 2 packs of newborn diapers, so don't buy too many of those, cuz the baby will grow fast -- especially if it's a big baby! ↑ |

| I'm having two baby showers. I'm due Oct.5 and I'm going to have my first one the beginning of Aug. because it is quite a distance away and I don't want to be driving 8 hours by myself at 9 months pg. My other one is going to be the beginning of Sept. which is all my friends and family around here so we figured a month before was good timing. ↑ |

| I had my shower on March 10th and I am due April 29th. I wanted it a lot earlier but I made myself wait. Its so hard to wait. I bought half of my baby furniture WAY early and now I have to wipe it all down because of the dust that's collected on it. ↑ |
| Name: BabyDrae12 | Date: Apr 16th, 2007 1:13 AM |
| yeah..I have no clue what people are gonna buy for me b.c I have everyrthing! ↑ |
| Name: soon2bmommy | Date: Apr 16th, 2007 1:18 AM |
| That was my problem. I couldnt help but buy everything I needed long before I needed it. So when my shower came along, I didnt need anything else lol. But it's always good to have extras of everything Just in Case ↑ |
| Name: BabyDrae12 | Date: Apr 16th, 2007 1:19 AM |
| yeah.. the only things I aask for aloooot was dipers I think I ask for like 15 cases..lol ↑ |
| Name: soon2bmommy | Date: Apr 16th, 2007 1:29 AM |
| One thing you should consider are the things you will use repeatedly. Like diaper rash cream, medicines, wipes, soaps and lotions. Things you will be using a lot of for the rest of your life ;-). Also, you can't get enough socks - because you don't keep them long enough to remember what they look like from what I hear. Blankets also, I would assume you couldn't have too many since they'll get dirty easy and your baby always needs to be nice n warm. Those are basicly the things I got at my shower. ↑ |

well my mom gave me a baby shower, so i got every thing that i needed, the big items, and what i dint get i bought with the stuff i returned, because i didn't need 4 $30 bathtubs, so the only big items that i don't have is a rocking chair/Glider thing, the dresser and the High Chair,, which i can wait on... but my mother in law now decides to throw me a baby shower, so i asked for a lot of the little things that i need that i didn't get like
Diapers
***Socks***
**Burping Cloths**
Wash Cloths
Creams, Lotions and Soap
Laundry soap... i just though of that one, but that stuff an get expensive so its a good thing to ask for
Blankets ↑ |

| blankets you wont usually use immediately b.c they suggest you dont lol ↑ |
| Name: zoey9810 | Date: Apr 16th, 2007 2:29 AM |
| well to use as swaddles and clothes protectors, and to tuck them around the baby when they are in the carriers ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Apr 16th, 2007 2:29 AM |
| i just bought the swaddlers ↑ |

| From my very recent experience:) - babies grow out of the newborn size pretty quickly, but not the 0-3. Sophie wore 0-3 for about 3 months. Newborn diapers get small pretty quickly. I recommend the pampers 1/2. They are good for up to 15 pounds. I rarely put socks on the baby - they don't stay on - so unless you live someplace cold...But the thin cotton receiving blankets - I used those constantly. They serve a million purposes and they get dirty from spit-up and stuff. One thing noone mentioned was blankets or cover-ups for nursing. Even if you don't plan on nursing in public, I guarantee someone will be around when it's time to nurse (brothers, father-in-law, friends) and you will want to cover up for your comfort and theirs:) ↑ |

| Thanks Mara, for the reminder! I was kind of thinking about the whole breastfeeding with guests thing -- but for some reason it didn't occur to me to just use a blanket. I got some really nice, big receiving blankets for one shower that would be perfect for that! And you mentioning that reminded me that I should probably pack one of those for the hospital! ↑ |
