Baby Sign?
My next door neighbours have a sign outside saying "It's a Boy", I knew the woman was due soon but wasnt sure when. I called around with a gift and card and was thanked but told, Oh he's not here yet, she's still in labour. Is this normal? was I incorrect in thinking that the sign meant he had been born? :confused:

Re: Baby Sign?
Oh come on.....
didn't put up a baby sign at my house but don't care if others do. And didn't have a baby shower for either kid, and only one wedding shower (first wedding). It's a bit early to put up the sign but I doubt the woman in labour did it! :eek: |

Baby showers before birth are common. Allowing grandparents or siblings in the delivery room is totally up to the mother and is not allowed at Caesarean births. There's a lot of pressure on the mother to allow in relatives she doesn't want there -- I wanted my privacy and my mother's never forgiven me for not letting her in, but I didn't even let my elder daughter in! |

The all-relatives-including-your third cousin thing is over the top IMO!!! Who the heck wants their father never mind their father in law in there???!!!! Argh! |
