After baby....baby shower  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
So my friends and family want to have a baby shower for me..my baby was a surprise so we didnt know the sex..i wanted to wait till after the baby came because if baby was a girl i would need clothes...if a boy i wouldnt really need anything...because i have all my baby clothes from my last baby who is almost 4. I saved all his clothes and they are still in great condition. Well i had a boy and dont feel like i need anything...we are cloth diapering and i have purchased all those..i needed a stroller and i went and bought a maclaren myself...i couldnt wait on that...we had an outting this past weekend and i had to have a stroller for that. They are hounding me to register with Target or Babies r US and there is nothing that i really have to have from either place. I would rather have gift cards so i can get what we need when we need it. Help me figure out what i need? I cloth diaper and breastfeed and co-sleep. So no nursery...no special fru fru....this baby is a big boy and some new clothes would be nice...in larger sizes...any other ideas mama's?
Oh FYI..in the next 2 months we will probably be going back to Mexico...so big items are not really an option right now.

I don't have a lot of good suggestions, but I wanted to say that I'm glad your friends and family want to pamper you and shower your baby with affection!

I think if you let the organizer know that you'll soon be going back to Mexico and you can't take large items or a lot of stuff with you, that person can pass along the message and suggest gift cards to the attendees.

Are there offers of service you could use, like meals, childcare, etc.?

Is it out of the question to ask for stuff for you? Mamas need pampering too!

Right now i'm in need of things for me....i'm a single mama and i'm feeling a little down and over whelmed. Something for me would be great.:

The meals, a little help with cleaning the house, etc... that sounds wonderful to me and just what you probably need!!!

A cleaning service, a food delivery and/or a haircut would be on the top of my list if it were stuff for me.

Do you have a good baby carrier already?
