Party for Fourth Baby!

I have decided to have a baby shower for my fourth baby.

I wasn't sure if I was going to since it IS my fourth baby and all the etiquette questions come in to play.

But after all I am going through to get this little baby here, I want to celebrate! I am only 19 weeks this week so I know that it is still really early to start to plan something, but I am going to start anyway!

Here is the kicker, we aren't going to find out if it is a boy or girl. I have never been to a baby shower where we didn't know the gender. Our grandmothers and mothers generations had it hard! They are all rolling their eyes at us now!

I don't really care what people bring I just want to have a party! Many of my friends can attest to the fact I just really like to see all the people I love!

It is these moments that I am glad I live in CA where we don't have etiquette rules about baby showers for fourth children. Heck we don't have many etiquette rules as it is!

Here is how I see it, we should give this little person a party now because in a couple of years it will be the one forgotten in the house as I load up everyone else. Or the one that all the other kids pick on because it is the youngest. It will be the kid in all the hand me down cloths. He or she will never get a way with anything and pay the price of experienced parents. Because the other three will have already tried that excuse and we learn from our mistakes. This kid isn't going to have it's own room till Gwen goes to college.

So who's with me to throw a party for this kid?!?!
