My sister just asked me if she could throw a baby shower for me. I am honored that she ask however I would rather wait until the baby is here and have more of a meet the baby shower instead. I know that with her having a baby in September(he is 2 months old now.) this would be a huge thing for her to do, and I would like to be able to help with things. How would you put it that you would just like to wait?
To clerify this will be my 3rd pregnancy but second living child
She's your sister. Of all the people you can be blunt with, she's one of them. Just tell her that you're honored that she wants to do a baby shower for you, but you'd rather wait until the little one is here and do a meet the baby party. Then ask her if she wants help planning it, or tell her that if it gets to be too much (the planning) just to let you know!
*hugs* (And CONGRATS! on the pregnancy!)
Tell her that you want to wait and you still would like her to help a great deal. She is probably just extra excited as most people are with a new baby and wants to plan the shower. Just set her straight. No need to stress or put stress on the baby over something that is suppose to be fun! I personally would go for a meet the baby party instead of a shower. A shower is great for first time Mom's. But I am not into them for 2nd, 3rd, etc. timers. Good luck and congrats. :)
Sorry are you both pregnant? Or is she wanting to throw one for you or you for her? Either way, I would do a baby shower and then a simple meet the baby also.
Just a thought-- if your baby is born in the winter, you may not want to have a meet the baby party because it is RSV/cold/flu/etc season.
I'm with Jennifer H. If your reasoning is truly that you want to be able to help her with all of the details, then just tell her that! If you have another reason, tell her that as well.
Just let you sis know what dates you prefer....However, I wouldn't want to expose a new baby to a lot of people in an enclosed area. Who knows what kind of germs, colds etc., they may be carrying....especially those who have little ones.
Tell her if she can help you with a small meet & greet after your baby arrives that would be awesome!
