Baby shower Never came across such thing as "baby shower" until I watched "What to Expect When You're Expecting" last night. As far as I got it's a party devoted to an unborn baby. His or her first birthday organized even before he or she is actually born. It was nice to know that Americans are not worrywarts in terms of babies. Here in Russia I can hardly imagine that such party might be held before a baby is born . Many Russians organize a party called "cereal" when a new born baby is a month old already. Before this time they feel uneasy to show even photos of a new born to relatives and friends. However things change little by little. Recently I saw one Russian lady with a new born baby in her ergo baby carrier at children's play. So the question to Americans: " Is it popular among Americans to have a baby shower? Or it was a bit exaggerated in the movie?" And do the British have such party at all?
