Procreation Celebration

Last weekend, instead of having a baby shower, we hosted a Procreation Celebration. I didn't want to have some overly girly party with kool-aid and games, but instead wanted to really celebrate baby making in all of its glory. Plus, we hadn't yet had a party to break in the new backyard and you can't properly enjoy a shady backyard without some beer and some men folk. In keeping with the idea of avoiding a baby shower and likely scaring off all of the men that came, we didn't open any presents until the following day. We got some awesome stuff, and nothing that was too girly. Once Melita's room is a bit more put together I'll post pictures of her loot.

Saw your note to Al re: tub. I recommend the mesh seat over the tub. 1. Tub is bulky, seat stores easily. 2. That mesh seat cradles them nicely and you don't have to clean it. Do what you want, but that seat rocked for us.

'Mesh seat over tub'? Over the baby tub or adult tub? 1) we don't have an adult tub-only a shower. 2) the baby tub I bought came with a mesh sling-y thing to use as a newborn. So, I think we are OK. Keep the suggestions coming! I need all the help I can get :)

Oh...if you don't have tub, you've got the right thing. Yeah, the mesh slingy thing is what I'm talking about. That is awesome. Another thing that's useful, multiple changing pad covers. I recommend three total.
