My sister and I gave our niece a shower for her soon-to-be-born daughter. It was held outside in a beautiful setting next to a creek. Turned out to be a wonderful gathering, the type of which I'd been avoiding for years. Don't know why. But, I was pleasantly surprised. Multiple generations of women, grouped together to welcome a baby, but, more importantly, to demonstrate support for the new mom.
There were over forty women there. They laughed, told their own pregnancy stories (none of them scary) and enjoyed the tradition and ages-old comraderie. It was a great experience.
We made a 'cake' out of disposable diapers, rolled, stacked and decorated. It took nearly 200 diapers. The top is newborn size, the middle layers small, and the bottom medium. Cute, isn't it? We got the idea off of the internet.
