Note from asker:
| Thanks Mona. And Noha: I agree that it's lnng; I didn't like it from the very beginning, but you can't really show up at a baby shower without gifts. I guess Mona Helal's suggestions is OK. |

Thanks guys!

حفلا

احتفالية بالمولود المنتظر
would pass here too
Not too eloquent I guess, but I needed to say it was held before the baby was born, as opposed to the norm in the Arab world which is the target audience.
Thanks again!
It is customary to hold baby showers to give gifts to the expected baby.
HTH.
