Celebrating baby #4- a baby shower.

[MrsFabuloso]

I have a friend who is 36 weeks pg with baby #4. It was an unplanned and unexpected pregnancy, and she has gotten rid of alot of her baby things. I have only known her a fairly short time- around 6 months now, but we have gotten fairly close. I would like to throw her a little celebration in honor of her baby girl coming into the world soon.

I was thinking of doing something fairly simple, hire a small conference room at our local golf club (it's free) and decorate it in lovely frilly, pink stuff (she's a girly girl, pg with her 3rd girl!). Maybe getting some sandwiches made by the local shop and some little nibbles from the club. And I will make her a cake.

If you have had subsequent babies, and had a baby shower/ celebration for the pregnancy, what did you do? How was it organised? I don't know if I should just make it a baby shower (I'm not sure if she's had one for her other children). And do all of that sort of shower-ey stuff, or just make it in celebration of having another baby. I think it would be a lovely opportunity to celebrate her last pregnancy, and also for her to get a few small gifts to help her out with buying new things.

What do you think? Any suggestions??

I did lunch out with close friends with dd2 and dinner with dd3. It's was more about catching up with friends before I got busy with a Newborn.

What a lovely thing to do for your friend

I had some new friends (like, I'd only known them a couple of months!) host a Blessingway for me for this (2nd) pregnancy. It is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Do it. She'll love it.

BAHAHAHA!!! Oh Kitty, if only it was for me....sorry, lol. I promise, if I was pg, I wouldn't be able to keep that secret for any length of time!

I have planned a baby shower and I'm on baby #4.

I never had one for any of my previous children and this is my DH first bio child and our last child!!
I planned one not for the gifts but because I'm super excited and want to celebrate!! I have even colour themed the shower in DH fav footy teams colours!! Can not wait, lots of cute foods, games and personalized cake have been organized as well.

I think its a great idea and I'm sure she will love it.
