Now this song is in your head, I bet. You're welcome.
11"Baby (Noun): A little bit of heaven sent down to Earth."

Who knew old Edgar could be so sweet?
14"A mother's sacrifice isn't giving birth. It's 9 months without wine."
For those mamas with a sense of humor. And an intense love for wine.
15“Just when you think you know love, something little comes along to remind you just how big it really is.”

Hopefully some of these will be a perfect fit for your pregnant person’s baby shower. Whether they want to have a light-hearted and funny vibe going, or a sappy and sweet vibe, there’s truly a few quotes to use for every type of shower. If you’re not into the DIY thing, another cute idea could be to have each party member write one of these quotes onto a disposable diaper to make mom smile, laugh, or cry (happy tears) while she’s up for that 3 a.m. diaper change.
