DIY Baby Shower

Baby Shower is a way to celebrate the approaching birth of a child, where the expectant mother is showered with gifts. It is traditionally given to the first child of the family, but nowadays parents experience more than one baby shower. Sadly to say, I’m not one of those parents because I did not experience any baby shower, and I don’t have friends. Hehehe!

When I was pregnant, I was planning for my own baby shower because I knew that my friends would not plan something for me. I did not have a bridal shower nga so baby shower pa. Lol, but it did not happen because I had Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy aka PUPPP, but that’s another story.

Moving on, when my son started going to school. I met moms who are also full-time mothers like me, and we became friends. One of our mommy friends got pregnant, so we decided to throw a baby shower.

I asked my pregnant friend for her available schedule so we set the date, time, and place. Like I said, I did not experience any baby shower so I have to research and research. It is like planning for my own baby shower. We’re only 8 moms in our group so I have to plan and prepare everything para naman may “element of surprise” pa. I sent a digital photo invitation and informed them that the event is a potluck.

One of my friends made this diaper stroller

I was thankful that there were free baby shower printables, so planning and preparing for a baby shower was not difficult. My pregnant friend offered to buy prizes for games.

For my potluck, I brought Amira’s Buco Tart.
