Well, baby showers are definitely easier than bridal showers! At least for me this first one was. You have no choice as to what you end up with when having a baby - you get a baby. The Bridal Showers seemed to be a little bit more tense as I had to worry about the upcoming event and the result of what people saw, experienced, etc...
So, Julie and Steph planned the shower and Niki helped a lot too (can you say brownie+cookie=brookies...yum!). It was a relaxed time to eat, catch up and joke about weird things happening with my body. For the most part, a lot of the guests have had their own kids which is really fun because we all get to share in the new parenting experience together. The few that haven't had kids yet were equally as great to have there because, like me, they have yet to experience the new baby adventure. All in all though, it is so great to have friends who are so willing to lend advice on toys, blankets, materials, books, vitamins, diapers, etc... I don't know how the first few girls in our group did it without all the help I've been getting!!!
We got our car seat which is a huge deal - can't bring that baby home in my arms! We also got very cute blankets, outfits, books, toys, pacifiers, and many more essentials! We even got a surprise present from Baby C's Auntie Angela - who was Jason's favorite pick for presents (aside from the ball popper toy from the Hartingers, but that is in a different category) with her camo-boots for Baby C. I joked lightly that we didn't have to worry about deciding what the baby would wear home from the hospital!
So - next shower is at the end of October which just a few great girlfriends that I get to see all too sparingly....especially Baby C's Auntie Desh!!!
