CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I had a Baby Shower at the end of my 7th month. It was perfect timing because about 1 week after that I was put on bed rest.
My mom threw the baby shower for me but I had input on theme, colors, etc. She paid for it though.

I had two baby showers with my first in the eighth month. One at work on my last day, and one my mom and best friend threw for me. It was fun. I still remember the hat!

I had a shower at the beginning of my 6th month. My mom's friend threw it for me. I think it's usually towards the end of your pregnancy, close to or during your third trimester. However, there really aren't any official rules on this of course.

I had one at 21 wks. I threw it for myself because I don't have family to throw it for me and my friend who helped couldn't fit the bill for it alone.

mine will be right at the beginning of seven months (next week! 
) I think it is pretty standard to have it late in the second or early in the third, but i wanted mine as soon as I found out it was a boy!! lol...mom and sis and SIL and MIL are throwing mine. They just decided to throw one big one since they all live in the same area (away from me! )

I'm pretty embarassed about this shower idea. My mom wants to throw one at some point, but I'm not one of those women who have tons of friends all in one place. I have a few from college, a few from highschool, a few at work, a few at church....and I feel like if we gather them all together and they don't know each other, they won't have any fun and I'll just be asking for gifts subtly. Did anyone else struggle with this?

I didn't have a shower with #1, but a friend of mine gave me Everything she had (all girl stuff) after my baby girl was born, so it felt like a baby shower anyway.
With #2, I had a shower 2 weeks after my son was born. Part of the reason for waiting was that the friend who was throwing it wanted to know For Sure the sex because she wanted a specific theme. Worked out well anyway, because everyone could hold my son, and I got lots of boy stuff.
With #3- 9, I had a shower 3 to 4 weeks before I was due each time.
Beth, don't worry about throwing all those people together~ they'll chit-chat and find things in common. I've seen it at every single baby shower I've gone to or had myself. You could also just let people know that you don't Expect gifts, you just would love to have their company at your party.
