baby shower question

[vicki2x2]

I agree with Boyd, you need a party, doesn't have to be traditional, but nothing wrong with having one!! Wish you were closer, I would help Boyd throw you one!!

Nothing wrong with having a shower for #7 either, I mean, after 6 other kids, your stuff gets a little worn out, and you need to replenish!

Congratulations by the way, on another wonderful blessing!! Do you know if you have having a boy or girl this time?

too soon to tell, but i bet its a boy. i still dont know how i managed just one girl out of 5 boys!

i think if you never had one then it's way past your prime and you NEED to have one lol. granted, it doesn't need to be traditional. but it's still fun to have

we did the "how many inches around is she" on me.. and my hubby was there(the only guy lol) but we had a lot of fun. there weren't 50 people there.. mostly family and a few of my MIL's friends(this was her first grandbaby and my second child) i never had a shower for my first.. as we were planning adoption at first and i never thought about living my life with her until we had her.. now her father isn't her only "dad" in her life lol.

anyway, i still think you need to have a little family party. doesn't need to have a ton of stuff but i always liked some of the games, and the food and fun was always great to be had. i had an emotional time when i was pregnant so the party really made up for it. good luck.. and happy wishes to you

A baby shower is ususally given by a Friend of the expectant mother. Some etiquette nuts even get their noses out of joint if the party is thrown by any family member...

Well, truthfully, at 46 years old, we have no children (we met later in life than most) , so I would rather, at this point, have the kids and not had the shower than no kids and no shower..............just something to think about
