Shower...
Here are my thoughts on a shower... Personally, I am against a shower until the child is coming home (or days before that). A few of my coworkers threw a shower for me and over 100 people attended. You are probably saying, "What? A shower for a guy??" The gesture was very very nice, but I never asked for it. In fact, very few people knew I was adopting. Anyway, when my first adoption attempt (from Romania) fell through, it caused quite an embarassing situation. To this day, three years later, I have people stopping me every day in work asking how the latest adoption plans are coming. Over the last three years, it's been very difficult to talk about... and every day in work, I'm reminded about it several times. Sometimes I wish I could give the gifts back and never discuss it again.
So until you are 100% sure, I wouldn't recommend it. Just my $.02.
