I had my baby shower after i had my baby - weird i know, but it was wonderful. I didnt want a whole heap of white or yellow booties, so my sisters sent an invitation out to my closest friends 1 or 2 days after DD was born. We had the shower 1 week after her birth. It was great, everyone got to see her at once (i didnt have 3 guests a day popping over to see bubs), and i got all pink stuff (i was still pulling tags off her clothes at 6 months of age, she got so much stuff) - was so nice. We did our invitations so they were from DD - e.g 'To mummys friend, I'd love to meet you, please come to my mummys and daddys house on...blah, blah'.

SIDS foundation recommends sleeping babies on back at bottom of cot. My DD slept on her back no problem - we bought one of those stop rolls - which prevents bubs from rolling over at a young age. In saying that my SIL's son would wriggle out of the stop roll and sleep on tum tum.....

Good luck !!
