A traditional name George & what does his star sign mean?

August 1, 2013 admin Leave a comment

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have embraced 300 years of royal tradition by naming their new son George Alexander Loius. The third in line to the throne will be formally known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, setting him up to become King George VII when he is finally crowned King.

The name George is the most popular for British monarchs in present times and a tribute to the Queen’s late father George VI, the new little baby prince’s great grandfather. The name Louis is the couple choosing to pay tribute to Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Prince Charles’s mentor who was murdered by the IRA in 1979.

cancer And what does his star sign symbolise? The new Prince’s star sign of Cancer means he’ll be devoted to family life. Like Prince William and his late mother Diana, Kate and William’s son is a Cancerian, which is known for being domestic and maternal. Cancerians take great pleasure in spending time with their family at home. They also like to uphold tradition and respect family history which bodes well for a member of the royal family. Members of this star sign are typically patriotic and keen to wave their flag whenever the chance arises. This couldn’t be better for their son, who is 3rd in line to the throne and could one day be head of the military.

The symbol of Cancer is a crab, which means they lie to retreat under their shell if they’re not in the mood for company. So let’s hope the prince is able to escape the spotlight in order to get some privacy. They also love sport and like being a member of a team. They are also kind and sympathetic people so all in all life should be pretty good for our new royal Prince as he grows.

Royal Baby Boy Is Born – A new Future King

July 23, 2013 admin Leave a comment

baby with crown How exciting – we have a new Royal Baby boy. But as yet no name although George, James and Philip seem to be favourites.

The world eagerly awaits the first glimpse of the baby born to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – a boy weighing 8lbs 6oz born at 4.24pm on Monday 22nd July 2013. Everything appeared to go really well for Kate whilst in labour as she gave birth to her 1st child. Here at Shower My Baby, we wonder whether she put to use our squeeze to ease stress ball that Pippa, her sister bought from us just a few weeks ago. If so we hope it helped to ease the pain!

The Mirror’s royal reporter Vicky Smith tells us that Kate’s parents, the beaming grandparents arrived by taxi at the Lindo wing this afternoon and are thr first relatives to visit William, Kate and their new baby.

She says: “Kate’s parents smiled for the cameras and looked happy and relaxed. They were greeted with cheers from the crowds who are waiting outside of St Mary’s Hospital, London for any further news of when the new family will leave and show the new future King to the world.

July 10, 2013 admin Leave a comment

william and kate As Kate Middleton and Prince William’s baby due date fast approaches, speculation is really mounting over the sex and name of the baby, with Alexandra being the current favourite, which is one of the Queen’s middle names. There have also been some more unusual choices including three bets on Waynetta and two on Mohammed, but Alexandra remains the most popular with Charlotte, Diana, Elizabeth and Victoria following in the top five choices.

Over recent weeks betting shops have seen a flurry of activity at almost “unprecedented” levels as people who would not normally gamble take a flutter on the Royal occasion. As the due day is fast approaching, activity is also building outside the hospital where Kate is due to give birth.

William Hill has already taken £60,000 worth of bets on the baby’s name, and is expecting interest to increase even more as we get closer to the due date in mid-July. The most popular choice of birth date at the moment is 17th July and the sex of the baby to be a girl.

It has also been announced that babies born on the same day will receive a limited edition silver coin to mark this very special occasion. Baby betting is booming with turnover expected to be close to £300k over the next week – a big increase on the royal wedding. The betting suggests we’re in line for a Princess with a 60/40 split in favour of a girl.

The top ten choices for the baby’s name and the current odds are as follows:

Alexandra – 7/2

Charlotte – 11/2

Diana – 7/1

Elizabeth – 7/1

Victoria – 7/1

George – 10/1

Eleanor – 12/1

James – 12/1

Alice – 14/1

Mary – 14/1

So what do you think and what would your guess be? We look forward to hearing from you.

What gifts will Kate Middleton be given at her baby shower?

June 27, 2013 admin Leave a comment

What baby shower gifts could possibly be fit for a Princess? and by this we are asking what will Kate Middleton receive at her baby shower, which must be imminent?

Perhaps it will be a Dior sleep suit, diamond encrusted soother, Prada changing bag or anything with an expensive price tag. But no, as the world’s favourite duchess likes to keep things clean, simple, natural, and surprisingly cheap, judging by some of her recent frequented shopping destinations. Although the royal baby shower is still a rumor and the baby shower registry is just a sniff of an idea, that’s not stopping us from speculating on what Kate would want to receive for her little bundle of joy!

However, we can tell you that just yesterday Pippa Middleton bought from us one of our squeeze to ease balls. Could it be a quirky and novel baby shower gift for her sister Kate we ask ourselves? Well, why not as this is one of our best selling baby shower gifts and no Mum to be about to go into labour should be without one!

This is such a novel baby shower gift, exclusive to us that will be sure to raise a smile on Mum’s face. Ideal for her to squeeze during labour or to throw at her partner!!

We will send your labour stress ball wrapped in cellophane and tied with hot pink satin ribbon & label saying GOOD LUCK & personalised with Mum’s name. For Example GOOD LUCK Kate! or the message of your choice. A lovely item now ready to give as a unique gift that looks fantastic.

This is also a great gift to give to a colleague as she goes onto maternity leave or simply to give to a friend when she announces her news that she is pregnant!

Great price at just £2.95

General Advice

Tips for taking your baby to the beach

June 25, 2013 admin Leave a comment

Going to the beach is a whole new experience with a different meaning when you have a baby. No more basking for the whole day in the sun and enjoying the cool breeze from the sea. Now your time is spent playing with your little one and watching them enjoy all of the great things that the beach has to offer. Although you can’t relax as much as you did before the baby, the beach is still just as fun, if not more as you can re-live your childhood years.

So here are our tips on how to successfully keep your little ones entertained and have fun yourself, whilst still enjoying some relaxation:

Give Them Shelter

The beach is both hot and sunny and you want to make sure that your baby has a place to go to to get away from the sun to cool off. Consider taking a small beach tent or just a large parasol.

Keep Them Entertained

The beach has so much within itself to keep your little ones entertained, but sometimes you want to relax and enjoy your time without running back and forth to the water. Bring a lot of beach toys for you little one to play with. The more toys you bring, the longer you keep them entertained without having to run out to let them play in the sea.

Bring All of the Sun Protection Essentials

Bringing the sun cream, hat, sunglasses, and everything else that will protect your baby from the sun’s harmful UV rays is one of the most important things to remember at the beach. We also recommend that you apply sunscreen before you leave and then once we get to the beach.

Take a Seat

We suggest the very popular Bumbo seat and this is a great item to take to the beach. It makes baby feel like they are involved in all of the fun as they can see what is going on.

Let Them Explore Their Surroundings

The touch of the sand and sound of the sea can be very frightening for a little one so let them explore in their own time. Once they see all of the things that we were doing, they will start to try them out. It will be fun letting them do it all on their own and watch them get over any fears to really have fun at the beach.

Take Pictures

Bring your camera with you to the beach and document the moments. Make sure that you bring sealed plastic bags with you to protect your camera from the water and sand. Take candid shots so that you can remember them in their element. You will love looking back at them when they are older and remembering how little and cute they were all sandy.

Forget the Push chair

A push chair might sound nice on the beach, but we can tell you from experience that it is a pain in to push in the sand. If your baby won’t sleep on a towel under the tent or parasol, then just bring the carrier for her to sleep in.

Keep safe and most of all have fun.
