Mommy of 2
I am having a baby shower at the end of this month.. My mom has no idea what kind of games to play or what all we can do there...
Here is some info........
We are having girl.
This is our second child.
We have a 2 year old boy.
The party is a cookout/shower and men and as well as women and children are gonna be there.. But the kids are already taken care of.
What kinds of games can everyone play?
What kinds can just the women play?
What can the men alone do?
What all should we have at the shower?
We have cake, streamers, plates, napkins, cups, the food for the cookout, and balloons. What else do we need to do or get???
I didn't want a shower in the first place, but my mom insisted because this will be our last child, and I didn't have one the first time.. But really none of us know what we are doing, and I have only been to one shower, my mother hasn't been to any. It was her idea but somehow I got stuck helping... lol.. but that's ok..... :)
Thanks!!!
Answer
you might want to get gifts to your guest that win the games 1. How fast can you drink from a baby bottle?
Think it's easy? This game is a lot harder than it looks. Take four or five volunteers from the party. Fill four or five 4 oz. baby bottles about a quarter full with juice or water. Hand each one of the contestants a bottle, and say drink. Who ever finishes the bottle first wins!
2. How big is Mom's belly?
This game involves the whole party. Ask guests to tear toilet paper off a roll that they think will match closest to the size of the mother-to-be's stomach, if it were wrapped around her. The one who tears of the right length or closest, wins.
3. Dirty Diapers?(Baby Shower Game Pick)
Take a napkin (one per guest), fold the napkins resembling a diaper and secure with a diaper pin. Attach the "diaper" to the bottom of each guests seat in advance. Place mustard or chocolate in one. Have everyone at some point during the party reach under their chairs. The one with the "dirty" diaper wins a prize.
4. Can you guess the baby food?
This free game involves getting five different kinds of baby food. Take the labels off the jars and mark the bottom of the jar with a number 1-5. Set them down in an area where guests can examine and smell them. Have everybody write down what type of baby food they think is in each jar. The guest with the most correct answers wins this baby game.
5. Guess what baby items are in the bag?
Place 10- 15 commonly used baby items in a large paper bag. Give each guest a pen and a sheet of paper. Let each guest stick their hand in the bag, touching the items, without looking. After each guest has had their turn, let them write down as many items as they can remember on their sheet of paper. The guest with the most correct answers wins!

Big sister gifts and new baby and sibling help?
Made in Ch
My baby is due soon! I have two girls ages 6 and 3. I was wondering if you had any ideas for big sister gifts for both of them. I was thinking:
-T-shirts to wear when the baby is born
-Special Day with Mom and Dad for each of them before the baby comes
-After the baby was born I was thinking to give them both rewards for being the best big sisters ever!
I am going all out with 'spoiling' my girls because I am very nervous that they especially the 3 year old will think that I don't love them anymore that I'm going to love the new baby more. I have talked to them about this 'mommy and daddy love you all equally and you are all very special to us'. There was a little jelously with my second child between the first. But with three kids I think their will be even more! Do you think that is the right thing to do?
Answer
The t-shirts are great ideas for gifts! And special Mommy and Daddy time for each of them is very important.
I actually think the third baby is usually met with much less jealousy than the second. By now, both of your girls are used to having to share Mommy and Daddy with someone else. Your youngest may have some trouble accepting that she is no longer the baby of the family. I'd suggest putting extra emphasis on how important it is for her to be a big sister, how cool being a big girl is, etc. Stress the awesome things she can do that a baby can't (playing on the playground, helping mommy in the kitchen, singing, riding her bike, etc.) Also, let your girls help with the new baby as much as possible. They can sing/read to the baby, hand you diapers, etc. Tell them how much you need and appreciate their help.
Spending extra time with your girls now and spoiling them a little is just fine. Just don't get them so used to all the extra attention that they are even more upset when the baby comes. Also, be sure to tell them that there will be times when the baby's needs have to come first, but that doesn't mean you love them any less. It just means big girls know how to be patient and a baby has no idea!
Good luck and congrats on number 3!
