The other day, I got an invitation in the mail for my sister Tami's baby shower. I wish I could go, but she's in New York and I am in South Carolina, and I just don't have the money to make the trip up there right now. She is doing a joint shower, where men, women, and children are invited. I know she is looking forward to it, because she feels so unprepared for this baby. It is her fourth child, but after her third child six years ago, she never thought she would have another, so she gave everything away, including her crib. I know she had a hard time picking out nursery furniture because she wanted something that could grow with the baby. I believe she ended up with a convertible crib, and a dresser with a pad on top instead of a traditional changing table. I can't wait to see pictures of the baby's room once all the furniture is delivered and the walls are finished being painted.
As far as a gift for her shower goes, I either have to mail something, or have my mom stick it in her suitcase, because she is flying up. I was thinking of getting some children's books, because they would be easy to mail, and I don't think anyone else will give her books. I can also have them shipped directly to her if I order them online. I like using ShopWiki.com, because it is there that you can find whatever you are looking for, and they will link you directly to the stores that sell it.
Tami will probably end up with a ton of baby clothes and diapers, which is a good thing, because if there is anything us parents know, it's how many diapers and clothes newborns go through everyday.
