Baby Showers

A baby showers is given in anticipation of the newborn baby. Close friends of the future mother to be normally give the shower. This event is mainly for gift giving which could make it awkward for a family member to host the baby shower.

This celebration is usually done 4 to 6 weeks before the birth or right after the baby is born.
Invitations should represent the birth of the new baby. Invitations can be bought from many card companies. To make it special you should decide on a design and then customize it.

The invitation should have the name of the person to be invited, the date of the baby shower, where it will take place, a contact number of the host, the gender of the baby and the theme of the shower.

The invitations need to be out a month to a month and half prior to the shower. This allows everyone time to plan for that day and pick the best gift.

The shower should have a theme. If you know the gender of the baby, it will help in your decision on the theme since there are many to choose from.

If it is a boy, a great example of a good theme would be boats. You can decorate with all types of boats both large and small. A sailboat in The punch bowl used for the cocktail would make a great centerpiece. One of the most important things for theme is the baby's name. It should stand out for the occasion. One idea is to put the name on an inflatable pool float.

If the theme is for a girl, a cookie would work. This theme is based on a poem that tells how little girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice. Set it up as a tea party with different types of cookies around along with cookie recipes and jars containing various ingredients like chocolate chips, peanuts and gum drops. You can use frosting to put the girls name on a large cookie.

If the parents have not picked a name for the baby? Here is another great idea. The baby shower can help the parents decide on the baby's name. Decorate the place with letters of the alphabet. Have games that will help people think of possible names.

Some parents don't want to know what sex the baby will be. They prefer it be a surprise. A great idea is having an ultrasound brought in so everyone there will be able to find out what the baby gender is.
Another great game to play is the Girl or Boy Quiz. The questions are designed to determine the sex of the baby as the guest answer.

Baby Gender Selection

Believe it or not, there are ways of determining the sex of your baby at the time of conception, rather than waiting until your first scan to find out. If you are desperate to conceive a particular baby gender, the following baby gender selection advice will help you to really stack the odds in your favour!

Whilst not fool proof, what you are about to learn should significantly increase your chances of conceiving the baby gender you desire. I first discovered this technique from the nurse who visited my wife following the birth of our second boy. She gave the following advice to my wife to make sure we have a girl next time around. I was intrigued, so did some research online and found that there is plenty of credibility to the theory.

So how do you go about baby gender selection in practice?
 
Firstly you must precisely calculate your actual day of ovulation. This is the day your body releases a single egg. You need to accurately know the timing of this event so that you can plan your love making around it.  Here is why ...
 
Your partner produces two types of sperm. Y sperm which is male, and X sperm which is female.   The male sperm can swim faster than the female sperm, but conversely, does not live as long following its expenditure of effort.
 
Therefore if you know exactly when you ovulate, you can time your intercourse to allow the male sperm to get to the egg first if you want to conceive a boy, or you can time it so that the make sperm will have died of exhaustion before the egg is released, leaving the female sperm free to conceive a girl. 
 
Obviously this method of baby gender selection is not guaranteed 100%, but it will certainly improve your chances of conceiving the baby gender you desire.
