Baby shower gift... should I get something else?

I bought my friend the cutest baby photo album/ record book for her baby shower. Someone got me this for mine and I LOVE it....

However, I totally forgot when I was buying this that the father of her baby totally skipped town on her and is NOT involved at all. Not to mention I have no idea how well she knows this guy. It's not like they were together for years- they had only been dating a short time.

So this baby book has the family tree to fill in, info about the daddy and daddy's family, etc... would it be a good idea to get her a different gift?

Just looking for a "what would you do" type of advice here... thanks!

    She's your friend, you know her better than I do so I say, how do you think she'll react? If I were in her shoes, I don't think that it would matter. Just because there is no daddy doesn't mean that the baby doesn't have a complete family. If it's that cute, give it to her.

  • Most baby books you find ask info about the daddy. So I personally think its fine. If my daughters father wasnt in her life I would still want a book to write memories and things down in. Its perfectly fine. Its not liek you are giving her a plaque that says "Ha Ha daddy's a deadbeat!"

    Give it to her anyway. She can either leave that page blank or rip it out if she doesn't like it. I wouldn't get something else for ONE page, there are plenty of other pages in the book that she can fill out.
