My Two Pence

What exactly is a baby shower? Initially, I thought it was a miniature shower that makes the cleanliness of babies easier. No, apparently it is a celebration for women during their pregnancy, mainly for the middle class. 

Baby Showers do somehow seem a little bit cruel. All those slender women, gathered around drinking, while you sit, holding in your flatulence, miserable and sober.

Would a baby shower have a different atmosphere if it was an ‘oops’ pregnancy rather than a long planned and desperately wanted heir. I guess you wouldn’t bother having a baby shower if the shattering news of the forthcoming birth hadn’t quite sunk in. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to have an ‘Oh my God, my life is over’ shower? The guests could bring round gifts such as nipple cream, stretch cream, gherkins and baggy pants, just don’t bring a noose! There could be lily’s everywhere much like a funeral.

Yet still I can’t get my head round a party where the host can’t get hammered?! I guess that’s why it’s called a ‘baby shower’ and not a baby party, because in fact it doesn’t qualify as a party.

I hope when that fateful time comes for me (in the very distant future) I will be ready for the great delights and thrills of baby showers. If you are there now then all the best and happy sprogging!
