A friend of mine is days away from having her second baby and has just left the workforce for good. She was a little down about having a tighter budget, so her close buddies decided to throw her a "sprinkle party" which is like a baby shower, but instead of inviting everyone you know and being showered with gifts, you just have your besties there and a light sprinkling of presents. It went over really well. Her first was a boy and her second is going to be a boy, but her first was born in the summertime so everyone bought nice warm baby things and helped them stock up on diapers since they'll now have TWO little bottoms to cover. We also helped stock her freezer with home-made meals so that she doesn't have to worry about cooking when she comes home from the hospital.
She's due on Valentine's day, but we all think the baby will come early. Poor thing! It's so cold out and she can't get any of her coats to zip up over her giant belly, so our friend's mom lent her this awesome retro poncho to wear. I liked it so much that I picked up something similar at the Cracker Barrel store. It's fleece and not thick, lined wool, but I think it would serve it's purpose admirably should I be hugely pregnant during the winter months.
