Has anyone ever had an u/s done and the
doc said it was a girl/boy, but when they
baby was born it turned out to be the
opposite. I've seen this two times on tlc
,and if it happend to me i'd be pissed
,b/c of buying all of the wrong stuff.
Off topic
i know this may sound funny but I have
never been to a baby shower so how do they
go? How far along do you have to be? Who
organizes it? And whatever else.

I would be pissed too if that ever
happened to me..Because id be so
unprepared for it.
As for the baby shower..I've been to a
few. This is what I know:
the earliest ppl have a shower is 6months.
But its more common to have it around
8months.
The mother of the expecting mom usually
organizes it but it could be done by a
sister/brother/friend/or anyone else who
is willing to commit their time to doing
it.
Babyshowers are just a gathering of family
and friends. They play baby related
games, eat yummy food and the expecting
mom opens gifts. Thats basically it. I
hope this helped!

I would be so mad if they said it was a
girl and all of a sudden its a boy. Thats
why after I find out, I want another 2
ultrasounds to make sure.
Baby showers are fun. Like scarf said
they have them as early as 6 months to 8
months. I think 7 and a half to 8 months
is a good time for one. Usually they are
fun and you can plan it or a family or
friend. Im planning mine for sept 4 labor
day weekend so family can be here for it
lol. Mine is gonna be a pizza party.
People have barbeques, sandwiches, snacks,
whatever food you choose. But im tired of
all that so im having a pizza party. Then
you play baby shower games the whole time,
and hand out gift prizes for whoever wins.
Then you pass out the cake, in my case
cake and ice cream lol. Im not a cake
fan, but I do love ice cream! And then
you open all your gifts!!!
I went to a boring baby shower on saturday
and they had 1 game! And it was at a park
and they had mexican food and I was so
bored, I left early lol. No cake, didnt
even see the gift opening lol. Oh well.
They should have made it more exciting.

Thanks ya'll. The pizza party is a good
idea, I want one too ,but i'm a
vegetarian, so I don't think everyone
wouldjust settle for eating all cheese or
veggie pizzas. But I love them.

Well I know not everyone is gonna like my
taste in pizza either, so I plan on
getting 1 just cheese, one all meats, one
with veggies, and 1 of my fave lol. Ill
have a variety so people can choose. Plus
ill have a plate of chips and dip, veggies
and dip, pasta salad, drinks, and of
course my cake and ice cream. Im gonna
make my cake and ice cream before the
gifts because some people save the cake
til like the very very last, and thats
just annoying lol

Why Girls Only?? Posted: 06-21-04 21:05pm
Ok this always bugged me! Why is baby
showers only for "girls"? Is the father
not apart of all this??? I think the
father should be invalved in the fun stuff
(unless he doesn't want to be!!!) as well
as good guy friends and family members.
This isn't just about you and the baby,
but the father is invalved too and should
be kept invalved in all the good and bad
parts of all this. Just my opinion, i've
been to 3 baby showers, 2 were all girls,
and 1 was girls and guys, I prefured the
girls and guys.
