Yesterday, my Sunday school class threw a baby shower for one of our members. She is due in December. (However, she is measuring 4 weeks further along than she is and usually goes on bedrest at the end of her pregnancies.) This will be number 4 for her, but it is her first boy. So we wanted to do something special for her and help her get a head start on some boy things.
Our class leader's father does woodworking, and made her a cradle from scratch! And her mother made the bedding for it. It was really beautiful and she, of course, cried. She was so suprised and happy and said it matched her baby funiture exactly! How cool is that?!
We all got her some baby bath items and some blue outfits. We had some fruit, danishes and orange juice to snack on. It was really nice. Very relaxed and comfortable (since our class is pretty small and close-knit: 5 of us!). I am so happy to be a part of such a great group of friends, and it's always a good time catching up with what's going on with each of them every week and learning to be the mothers God wants us to be.

You are really blessed to have such a wonderful group to have fellowship with.
I don't know, maybe because we are the only ones who "get" to carry the baby around inside us for nine months and then birth it? :)
But really though, some people have "couples" showers. That's not unheard of. Though most men aren't really that interested in baby showers. Or at least their egos won't let them admit to it.
