Baby Shower Vent
I feel better after handing out some candy to wee lil children but Im still pretty pissed/let down. When I was probly about 16wks pregnant one of my friends offered to throw me a baby shower. We currently live 1200 miles from our familys and we have a few friends down here so I accepted her offer and said I would get back to her after we found out the sex, ect. That time came and I actually ASKED if she still wanted to throw the shower and also told her if she didnt it wouldnt be a big deal(it wasnt) and she said 'heck yes!'. Great. Awesome. Cool. I sent her all the info that she requested, we picked out a date and then i waited..and waited...and waited. She kept saying "oh I'll have the invites done by Monday" Tuesday would roll around "Oh the invites will be done by NEXT Monday" So on, so forth. She kept putting it off but I thought she would pull through at the last second. I prepared some of my friends told them about the shower and the date, ect. The shower was set for Nov 13th, btw, which is in 2wks. TODAY she sends me a TEXT and says she can no longer throw the shower...shes simply too busy, blah blah blah. SERIOUSLY? She could have told me BEFORE that she didnt want to, when I gave her the chance. Im feeling a little let down because I was really excited to have my friends together. I was thinking I could ask another friend to pick it up where she left off(which would be kinda easy bc she didnt do anything) but my other 2 closer friends JUST moved away. Im just feeling kind of down about Showers in general(Last time I was pregant, which ended in a miscarriage, I had people jumping out of there seats to throw me a shower...this was the ONLY person to offer, including family, this time and I've been a little bummed) so I was estatic about her offering.
I hate to sound stuck up or anything like I deserve a shower(or to have multiple, or what-have-you) but maybe you have some words of wisdom for me? After I told my husband he said "why dont you just throw one yourself?". I told him that i wasnt sure how that would look, I didnt want to make it seem like I was begging for gifts but I do want to have my friends together.
Just a rant I needed to get off my chest. Pregnancy hormones at their finest.
