» Baby gifts
By China at 10:12 AM
I was invited to my first baby shower recently. Well to be honest it really wasn't actually my first baby shower, when I was younger I went to one or two with my mom, but I really don't remember. This was my first baby shower though where I was an adult and could really understand what was going on. And in all honestly, I really don't think I like kids. It is hard for me to say because I think they are cute, like I love buying baby gifts, for other people's kids and I have a goddaughter who I adore and I think she is the greatest thing in the world. But I'm not really sure that I would want to have any. Maybe it is just because I am still young and once I am married and grown up I'll change my mind, but for now, I'll just borrow someone else's.
But I do love parties and cute themed get togethers, so baby showers are a fun thing for me. I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time and all of the games at the shower were super cute. We played games where we had to guess how big the mom to be's stomach was or the weight of the baby (we would all put in a dollar and when the baby was born whoever was closest to the weight would win).
It was so wonderful to see all of the pink decorations (I love pink!) and there were SO many gifts. The gifts were super cute too and for part of the night it made me second guess my thoughts on having children. I'm not sure if it was the idea of children that I liked or if it was just the overload of pink, the champagne and the mounds of gifts and smiling people.
What I thought was a little different from what I imagined was that this was a couples baby shower. Usually you hear about baby showers being for just the mom to be and her girlfriends or female relatives and occasionally the father to be would be present. But this shower had a ton of guys and I think they were actually enjoying themselves and they got cigar party favors one pink chocolate one and one real one. It really was a good time all together and I can't wait for my next one!
