I agree with Anna & Caity wholeheartedly. I would bring it up with Randy’s mother because a week before is entirely too late. It’s putting a lot of stress on you and the baby. I would just discuss and earlier date with her or ask why she wants to have it so late.

I don’t think there’s any harm in asking her to do it earlier. Just tell her you’re concerned that you won’t have enough time to get everything ready for your baby’s arrival.

Plus, like Anna said, all of your essential items you’ll need tons of so there’s no harm in getting prepared before the shower

It will all work out. Don’t worry too much or you definitely might have her early!

I agree with Anna. I wouldn’t cause trouble or waves by trying to make plans to move the shower. You’re always going to need more of these things, so stock up on some now and then get more things later!

I don’t think what you’re wanting is unreasonable either, a week before your due date IS very late! I’d be concerned too. I like Anna’s idea of just asking you mum if she’s planing on getting a certain item for you. I’m sure she would understand if you explained why you wanted to know, or to have things in lots of time.

Honestly, if there’s something you think you need for the baby just get it. Especially the shampoos, diapers, onesies type of things because no matter how many you get at the shower, you WILL need more.

Just ask your mom if she’s going to get it for you. Or tell her, I’m going to get this item today, do you want to go? Maybe she’ll just tell you or end up buying it for you.

Also, talk to Randy’s mom and explain to her your concerns. I’m sure she will understand.

I had mine exactly one month before my due date, and she still didn’t have a place to sleep until the day she was born and Zach and his Mom went to buy it. I was so stressed about not having my shower done earlier, but once it was over I felt much better. I think the 13th is pretty close, and if it would make you feel better definitely ask to have it earlier. But remember making it too last minute you run the chance of not as many people being able to come.

I don’t think it’s rude or ungrateful at all to ask to have the shower a little earlier. You have enough on your plate as it is! If the date can’t be changed you could go ahead and buy some of the things that you really need and keep your receipts to return them if you get duplicate items?

Since I went into labor early, we didn’t get to have our shower and there were still lots of things we needed. We ended up having to make a trip to Walmart after she was born. Spent a ton of money but it was fun

I think it’s late to be honest. I had mine at 32 weeks. It takes a while to prepare for a baby and be organized. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure if you had it on Sept 13th you’d be fine (unless you go into labor beforehand) but even so some people wait until after the baby is born for their showers.

Have you discussed your concern with Randy’s mom?

Can you to talk to Randy’s mom about doing it earlier? Maybe the weekend before? Also, maybe you could just go purchase the essentials now, and create a baby registry at Wal-Mart for the rest. Talk to your mom about possibly getting the P&P before the shower, in the off chance Gracie arrives early.

I’d be stressing out in this situation as well, as I’m sure you want everything you could possibly need before she gets here.
