[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 236616, member: 3907"] All the baby shower games I know have already been mentioned by others. I think the blindfold diaper one sounds like a hoot. My advice to the new Mom is: Receiving blankets. LOTS of receiving blankets. The thin ones, about 2 x 3 feet, made of cotton flanellette (sp?). I used to keep about 10 of them in the diaper bag. They fold up nicely and can fit into tiny corners, and they are infinitely useful as: 1) A clean surface if you need to lay your baby down and you're not sure how clean the table / counter / mat / whatever is. 2) An "urp cloth" to cover your clothes when burping the baby. Avoids the nasty white stains on your back. 3) As a nursing shield, if you're modest and have to nurse in front of other people. 4) Extra lightweight warmth 5) You can swaddle the baby, if that helps to soothe him or her (Little easy child HATED it, but I hear lots of other babies love it) 6) Mopping up miscellaneous spills 7) Extra...um...containment, when you have a particularly messy diaper to contend with. 8) A full-length bib, if you forgot to bring one Etc.
