Hi all,
I am wanting some honest advice about my current situation. I am 20 weeks pregnant with baby girl number 2, and I just can't help but feel sad that nobody has mentioned a baby shower. This may be 100% thanks to my raging prego hormones, but I'm just wanting to get my story out there, and get some advice about how I should proceed.
My back-story is this in a nutshell. I had a somewhat unstable and undesirrable childhood, and i was moved around, a lot, (about 1 to 2 different schools a year) so I was hard pressed to make new girlfriends let alone keep them, due to my nomadic lifestyle. I have siblings, but all are younger; (ie: highschool) I do not have coworkers, as I am self employed.
I know lots of you will think this is about the presents, but I promise you, its not. It is more about feeling loved by those around me and gathering all of the people I love to celebrate our new life! I have always tried my best to be the best and supportive friend as possible, attending every shower invite I get, bringing registry gifts along with aomething hinemade and usually a box of nice hand me downs from my first. I have given away most of my baby things to two of my friends who were needy in their pregnancies. I have offered to throw and have thrown so many parties and showers. I feel like U always put the most thought into my gifts and just have so much love to share, but can't help to feel sad that my pregnancy has gone virtually unnoticed.
My husband keeps telling me he will throw my shower, or to throw my own, but, I feel like that would be inappropriate, and honestly, I'd be embarassed to tell anyone I did it.
Please feel free to be candid, am I just being a baby? Should I take hubbys advice and throw a baby potluck?
Help! Lol.
