"Baby shower" and "golden shower" are very different things: do not google the later at work! At probably not at home either... 
We don't have them in the UK (but I suspect they are spreading, it's a US custom so it seeps across the world like putrid lettuce across the salad tray of the fridge).
I always assumed it "first call for the gifts: gimmee, gimmee, gimmee" but apparently it;s not: baby shower etiquette - Google Search[^]

Just remember that the little person who's at the centre of it all won't have a date, either.

Be absolutely positive that you bring a gift - this is the main but unstated purpose of a shower.
Some of the other advice you've received here is silly and not what you should do. This looks like a serious question from you, so I'm giving a serious answer. Be on your best behaviour and dress nicely. You'll be surrounded by estrogen behaving at its highest level of obnoxiousness. Women will be oohing and aahing about silly baby details that will mystify you. Be nice and observe quietly. Be polite. Arrive on time but feel free to leave early.

If you haven't known her long or if she's the heiress to the O'Henry Bar company, feel free to decline. If you have, you can ask her if other men will be there.

Somebody was moaning t'other day because it took MS a few years to acknowledge his suggestion I seem to recall. I've just received a Yankees post game alert for a game that took place in August 1927!

It was probably Cricket: the match hasn't ended yet...

It just did. Not in your favour, I'm afraid.

I don't think Wales plays cricket - not enough horizontal land for a pitch I suspect!
And we can generally bear the trials and tribulations of English sports teams with immense fortitude, if not actual hilarity.

Good grass makes sheep stand still, so you don't want people throwing balls and spooking them.

You don't waste good grass on sheep. They're perfectly happy with the scrubby bits between the rocks on the hills.

You do. The 'England team' represent the English & Welsh Cricket board, and that's even before we get into the debate on whether you are English or Welsh. (The welsh argument loses).

Huh?!?
The ECB is the England and Wales Cricket Board. The "England" team actually represents England and Wales.
So yes, the match ended, and like Abhinav said, not in your favour

Just because something claims to represent a group, doesn't mean it does...
It's like the way governments all claim to represent the people...

That's all you need to deploy your first cloud solution...
Great! Now all left is to find a problem, that need cloud - a few days most...

Well, I've always got five minutes for a coffee (or perhaps a beer) and a chat.
But a cloud? Nah, thanks - I'll pass.

on thin splinters of sacrosanct shared experiences,
the trolls dangle their bait, and, we, take a bite,
from shame, or fear, rather than howl for humanity
shamed by bored schadenfreudists' misuse of tragic
no one wants to be tagged for tipping a sacred cow,
no matter the cow's a cheap paper cut-out standing
in cardboard fields spray-painted with green grass:
a stage-set built by a very lonely audience of one
yet, nothing's offered here, on our collectivity's
altar, that's not shared within us, to some degree,
even if it exists only as a poltergeist in fantasy,
or, will-o-wisp flitting in memories' dismal swamp
my revulsion looks in a mirror, and sees revulsion
looking back with an accusing, leering, evil smile
