Oh my goodness it’s baby shower time!!
I’ve enjoyed having baby showers and helping others with baby showers over the years.
This time it’s personal…..
A friend recently brought to my attention that the baby shower
I’m currently working on, will be the only shower I ever do for my own grandbabies….
I have one child(son) and you traditionally only do showers for the first baby.
So if I’m missing in action and blogging less in the next month you know why:)
Did I tell you the theme for the shower? ” Sock Monkey’s”
The craft club is going to be making sock monkey’s.
I’ll be posting info on that soon.

I am so thankful that my family and friends ignored tradition! We have been blessed to have people want to throw us showers for each one of our babies…
Our neighbor gave us s sock monkey along with a sock monkey quilt she made for pur newest little girl- can’t wait to see how to make them! Have fun getting ready for the shower.
Oh, what fun. I love showers. My daughter recently had a shower for her second baby. It was given by her church friends who usually just do a diaper shower for second babies. Since her first was a girl, and this one is a boy, they did a traditional shower. It was lovely and I’m sure yours will be, too.
Enjoy your shower AND the grandchild to come! I don’t think too many people pay too much attention to those rules — it just kind of depends. Like with how close the pregnancies are together — 22 months, probably no shower for #2, but 8 years! definitely need a shower. And there’s the sex variation – if baby#2 is a different sex, or age issue (happens in adoption circles all the time — child #2 may be a 5 yr old or be multiple children even!).
Anyway, a sock monkey shower sounds really fun!
Thank you all for your sweet comments and advice about showers…there is hope that I may possibly have another shower one day…. depending on the situation.
this will undoubtedly be adorable. is it wrong to be thinking of a sock monkey themed bday party for an adult? the boyfriend loves sock monkey!
Cape, It could be a fun theme for any age!!!
