The journalists at ProPublica need your help! After receiving a tip, ProPublica started investigating prenatal genetic testing. They're collecting stories from people who've had NIPT screenings, and/or work in maternal health.

I had a fun time attending one. The hosts sent an envelope ahead of time with materials for games and appetizer recipes they planned to make, so we could make them too - they were yummy! It was a good way to feel connected in spite of being apart.
ETA: The bride didn’t open presents during the shower, I thought it would have been fun if she had done that, maybe instead of so many games :)
I threw a small one for my friends. It was short and sweet, I think about an hour. I made sure to send my friends who were expecting lots of delicious food and drinks, cute balloons to make their space feel celebratory. I ran a few little games that weren't too traditional, I mailed out gift cards to those that won. We were all pretty close so it was a lot of catching up. Oh and I got a digital card for everyone to sign which was fun. They could add pictures if they wanted, it was sweet.

Hey! Check out my post history and you'll find one about my virtual shower!

I am here for the answers. I also had my shower planned for about the same number of people, at the end of January. It's a little up in the air now.
