This will serve as a kind of "virtual" shower. Kim's friends and relatives can gather here and coverse about pregnancy, parenthood and the mom-to-be. Kim is planning to visit Texas at the end of August. We will have a mini party with her family when she is here and present the contents of this blog in book-form as a keepsake. We'll also have the usual gifts for her to unwrap. I plan to also provide follow-up on this blog, so you can all read about and see pictures of our little surprise virtual shower. If you would like to attend in person, you are welcome to do that as well.
So, what kind of content should go here? Below are some suggestions to get you started, but really anything is ok assuming it's in good humor and honors the intent of the blog. Just like a "real" shower, the goal is to make the mom-to-be feel special and to share our collective wisdom with her.
Some possible topics:
- Gems of advice on parenting, marriage and not losing yourself
- Stories about new parenthood, pregnancy or birth (no scary birth stories, though, please!)
- Things you know about Kim and/or Jason that should play out interestingly as they embark on parenthood
- Some good ol' praise for how great you know they're gonna be
- If you're a parent, what you like best and least about it
- What you wish you knew before having kids
- Things you needed to hear when you were pregnant or a new parent
- Things people told you, that you didn't believe/understand that turned out to be gospel
I'm sure this list of suggestions is far from exhaustive... can't wait to see what everyone has to say.
Happy blogging!!!
Allison
