Why August when I'm not due until late November/early December?
I have several good reasons.
1. I don't want to be so large and tired and swollen that I can't enjoy the party.
2. I want to do it while the weather is still warm so we can swim.
3. One of my main Shower Sisters (Rachel) has a son starting college playing football. She will be gone every weekend after this weekend for months, traveling to see his games.
4. I want to get the babies room as close to 100% ready before she arrives as possible. If I have her early, I want to be prepared.
5. There are tons of things that need to be done to my house BEFORE I have the shower. Cleaning, small repairs. The kind of stuff that needs to be done that I will be motivated to do (or have done) if I know tons of people are coming over. The best way to force you to clean your house is to throw a big party.

Here's another good reason...due dates are just a suggestion. They come when they feel like it. We didn't have a single party for Peanut because everyone was doing the traditional thing of waiting until the last month. The result was a mad scramble while I was laid up in the hospital. We'll see you at the party!
Thanks for the comment C! I can't wait to see you guys and hope you bring the Peanut!
I love it... due dates are just a suggestion. How funny!
Yes, a good friend validating one of my reasons for doing this shindig so early.
By the way, I'm so proud of you. This isn't an easy decision, but it's a good one. See you Saturday!
