A Celebration for Gompers

Specialties NICU

Published

To my fellow NICU forum posters,

As the countdown indicates, Gompers is getting quite close to motherhood!

Since we are scattered far and wide, and unable to come together to celebrate, I thought it would be fun to throw her a "cyber-shower".

Let's post our good thoughts, wishes, helpful hints, and gift ideas for her,, hubby, and the wee one. (Labor stories are strictly forbidden!)

I'll start:

My best wishes for an uneventful last few weeks of pregnancy, a comfortable labor with her loved ones at her side, a beautiful, healthy bundle of joy, and a good night's sleep before she goes home.

My gifts to the new family would include: 1. A Snuggli (I don't know how I lived without one with my first baby. My second LIVED in it, and was soooo happy and content!) 2. A CD player for the baby's room and a copy of Kenny Loggins "House on Pooh Corner", which contains beautiful lullaby music.

Anyone know any of those games they play @ baby showers?

Two that I'm particularly fond of...

The one where you melt different candy bars inside of clean Pampers, then pass them around the party and people have to guess what kind of candy bar it was by smelling it and identifying things like nuts and krispies...

And then the one where you pass around jars of baby food, each person taking a spoonful, and writing down what flavor they think it is. I just love baby food, so that's probably why! I draw the line at the "meals" though, like with meat in them and stuff. I'm much more of a fruit and dessert baby food fan. During my first trimester when I was nauseous all the time, I did crave fruit but wanted something easy to eat and digest - so I ended up eating lots of jars of stage 3 fruits! YUM!

Hahahahahaha! How funny!!!

Congratulations to you, mama Gompers. I have often read your posts with admiration, even though I work in med-surg...

A safe, healthy, wonderful birth to you and yours.
