Nesting Parties: The New Baby Shower Trend

If you've ever stood in your kitchen at 38 weeks pregnant, trying to organize a junk drawer while sobbing over Tupperware lids, you're not alone. That wild energy? It’s nesting. And lately, moms are channeling that chaos into something beautiful: nesting parties for new moms.

Think: your closest friends showing up with lasagna trays, swaddles, and a willingness to scrub your baseboards. Instead of diaper games and gift wrap, they help you meal prep, organize the nursery, and knock out the baby to-do list. It’s less about "stuff" and more about support.

These gatherings aren’t about showing off a Pinterest-perfect home. They're about being surrounded by love (and maybe finally getting that car seat installed right). And honestly? It's a relief to skip the awkward games and get real help.

If you’re in that third-trimester fog, consider asking a couple friends to host a mini nesting party. Keep it casual, keep it cozy, and let folks love on you in practical ways. (Bonus tip: throw on your Ponchy so you’re comfy and cute while directing traffic.)
