Throwing a
baby shower is an old tradition that's gained popularity recently with both mothers and fathers, and can be a great way to celebrate the arrival of a
newborn baby and congratulate parents
on their new addition to the family.
Instead of sitting at
shower with a big bump and holding up onesies and
newborn blankets while your friends look
on, I always chose to wait till
baby was earthside to celebrate.
I used the Target one before my
baby shower to help me register and now I'm going back to buy the things that are still
on there... nail clippers, thermometer,
baby tub soft liner,
baby monitor (I'm getting one with two receivers so I can have one upstairs and one down) two car seats, a light stroller frame to hold them in, and a few more not - to - terribly exciting things like
newborn diapers (work for up to eight pounds of
baby) wipes, etc...
