Having a baby shower? Hosting one? Attending one? Or just want to reminisce on your own? Read "Getting the Baby Shower You Want" by Camille Peri at WebMD ...and watch for the it-happened-to-me anecdotes from yours truly.

Have to admit, i've never had a baby shower for any of my three children and i've never hosted one for anyone else.
I have attended one in the distant past and didn't feel very comfortable with it. The whole game guessing competition etc I found rather dull. Just a get together with pizza and a funny movies would be just as nice.
