Baby Shower girft for Mom-to-be from me
10 Months, 1 Week ago

Hey guys,

This Saturday is our shower. We've guy'd it up a little, us guys will be pretty much on our own with a Texas Hold-Em tourney, cigars and brews. Is it customary or recommended that I get my wife something extra for the shower from me? If so what? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

PS: I'm sure the guys at DadLabs will be happy to know that we registerd for and have alredy received our Baby Bjorn carrier. I'm looking forward to using it!

While it is not customary for the guy to give an extra gift to the future momma (these showers are more about the family unit scoring baby swag) you can gain HUGE points by getting her a little "sweet memory" gift. Nothing big but something sentimental to commemorate this special time in your life. Something like a small locket or charm will do the trick. Also be sure to shower after swilling brew and smoking stogies before you handle all the new baby stuff!

I did two things that I think my wife liked:
- Pregnancy massages from Viva Day Spa here in Austin (I'm sure other spas around town have them). My wife was so sore & tired near the end of her pregnancy that a good massage would really help her relax.
- I created a little "coupon book" with coupons for her to get out of the house without the baby post-delivery. Basically, just a promise that I'd be available to baby-sit on request. (She really liked this gift, but frankly, it's not like I wouldn't be watching the kids anyway.)
