I think you should suffer through the whole thing. It will be a good experience for you. I always go, even though I despise those insipid baby games that are played. Not my style at all. But the baby showers I received when I had babies were a God send. I try to pass that forward because I know how much it helps. Don't duck out on this one. If nothing else, be there for the unborn child, this baby is going to need someone in his/her corner, Uncle Alex.
@Nyboy I think @baymule is onto something. You will get through the shower. Might even have a tiny bit of fun! Most important is the baby for sure. So glad your nephew has you.
Personally, I have always been against baby showers. Giving them a bath is so much safer and easier. And, a baby bath doesn't require so many people to attend
LOL had a good time, my sister and her husband came. Was like a big party just the way mary said, lots of drinks and food. What was great grandparents to be are very well off, they know this might be the only grandchild ( mom to be only child) Judging by the amount of gifts grandma bought, child will be well spoiled and loved.
good to hear that they will be well suited to support the child when it arrives. i'm sure there were a lot of gifts or at least gift cards so mom could pick up items she'll need. how far along is she at this time?
That does rather sound as if your nephew won't be needed in the baby's life unless he takes the initiative and acts like a father. April isn't all that far away. I don't remember, do they know if the baby is a boy or girl?
