It makes me nervous to not have thank yous done, I think I'm just weird. But I have this fear of people thinking I'm rude so I wanted them in the mail and out of my possession! </p> <p>@MsLipGloss: 75 thank you notes?! I can't even imagine. For our wedding notes, I wrote the ones for my guests and DH wrote the ones for his, so I've never had to do an insane amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502852 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:42:02 +0000 MsLipGloss 502852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow - talk about getting your thank yous out quickly! It took me 6 weeks to get all of mine out . . . I had 75 to write! : / I did them in batches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502836 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:39:17 +0000 Bao 502836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay sounds like it went well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502730 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:11:21 +0000 Alivoo01 502730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for a great turnout at the baby shower and you got everything off your registry, and then some!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502494 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 07:27:52 +0000 sslm 502494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh god. This is not making me feel any better about my mil planning a shower for me at some point in march (no date yet) when I will be anywhere from 35-39 weeks. Ack. </p> <p>I'm so glad you got so much from your registry! That's so awesome!!!!!! I'm not a shower person either so I understand where you're coming from :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502471 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:36:19 +0000 Pink Champagne 502471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are on the ball with those thank you notes! Good job- you'll be glad those are out of the way, now you can just relax and wait for baby!<br /> As someone who had her baby at 36 weeks, I think 33 weeks is great timing (almost a little late for my comfort- you need time to put all of your goodies away!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502445 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:28:30 +0000 shopaholic 502445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Glad you get to relax this last month! Our showers will be back to back (Sat. &amp; Sun.) The Sunday one is hosted by DH's co-workers, which is sweet, but probably a little more awkward for me. </p> <p>@littlehunny: I BET with twins it's quite different! Twins do come early, so glad you got your shower when you did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502297 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:57:09 +0000 ladyfingers 502297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: ah good tip. After doing just 2 or 3 my hand hurt so bad and was cramping! It's never hurt that bad before. Pregnancy really does make just about everything suck, doesn't it? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502251 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:16:02 +0000 Smurfette 502251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Already did that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502245 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:11:42 +0000 tororojo 502245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: That's exactly how I feel! Happy I did it but very glad that it's over! ;)</p> <p>@ladyfingers: Use a felt-tipped pen or marker...it makes your hand hurt way less b/c you don't have to press as hard. But I always use ballpoint on envelopes b/c I'm scared they'll get wet and smear.</p> <p>@JerricaBenton: Wow, the pressure is on, that's a lot to do in just a few weeks!</p> <p>@Smurfette: Glad your first one is out of the way and that you got some good loot! Don't forget to take stuff off your registry that was purchased elsewhere. ;) Babies R Us missed a bunch of ours but somehow we didn't get duplicates! (magic I think) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502229 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:56:54 +0000 prettylizy 502229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad you had a good time, and sounds like you made out like a bandit!!!! Aren't you glad it over but happy you did it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502228 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:55:37 +0000 JerricaBenton 502228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad it was a great shower! Haha, I know what you mean though! I had my regular shower at about 30 weeks but my husband's employees and clients just had one for me yesterday (35 weeks.) There were a ton of people there and it was so sweet and awesome - but I am seriously pooped - not to mention having a whole new crop of things to put away/wash and sooooo many TY cards to write and send! I'm tired just thinking about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502073 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:35:43 +0000 ladyfingers 502073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, 4 weeks later and I still haven't finished my thank-you cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502061 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:26:22 +0000 littlehunny 502061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: My sister had my shower when I was 27 weeks &amp; a few people commented that it was early (although at the shower they commented that it looked like I was ready to pop any day), but I'm glad it was! My twins were born at 33 weeks 4 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502059 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:24:20 +0000 Smurfette 502059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is awesome you got so much that you registered for! It is awkward opening up gifts with everyone watching you. Hope you got some rest today!</p> <p>I had my 1st one today and was nervous that so much wasn't purchased on my registry. But we got a lot we needed, but people just bought them at Target. I was shocked at how many pacifiers we got. She is going to have her pick of brands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-502009 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:43:58 +0000 tororojo 502009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I think you'll definitely be glad it's not any later! I feel like gravity is starting to work against me. All I've done today is church and hang around the house, but I'm tired &amp; sore from yesterday (which only involved walking around/moving around/sitting, not anything crazy)...I can't imagine what I'll feel like in a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-501955 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:58:22 +0000 shopaholic 501955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! That's AWESOME that you got everything plus gift cards!!! I'm really looking forward to our co-ed shower next week, just because I think it will be fun to see a lot of our friends and family. I'll be 33 weeks then too and my MIL had commented and asked why we were doing it SO EARLY? It just happened that there were too many different occasions the following weeks, but I'm glad it sounds like a perfect timing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-501914 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:32:47 +0000 tororojo 501914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I had been dreading it; I'm just not a shower lover in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-501883 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:06:43 +0000 autumnlove 501883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad it went well!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-501882 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:06:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 501882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay! glad you got everything!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hangover#post-501879 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:05:51 +0000 tororojo 501879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sooooo happy to say that my baby shower is over and done with, forever! As a bonus, there was a pretty good turnout and we got just about everything from our registries, plus gift cards to cover the rest. I was EXHAUSTED and emotional when yesterday ended and am really glad we didn't wait any later--I'm 33 weeks at the moment and I may not have been able to enjoy the party if the date was any later. My hand hurts, but I finished writing 22 thank you notes, WOOT! Now I just have to address 22 envelopes, get stamps and I can kick back and relax for the next 1.5 months, yeah! (and maybe find someplace to put all this stuff...) </p>
