Baby shower... Does it feel wrong?

Bethany
Am I the only one that feels like a baby shower is about asking people to get your baby stuff? It just feels wrong to be that inconvenience. When we conceived we were at a comfortable financial point. we have had huge emergencies where we are no longer at that comfy spot. I had not planned to have a shower at all. I did a gender reveal instead (no obligations for gifts). Now my boss wants to have a baby shower for me for both coworkers and family. I feel like with my current situation it looks like I am asking for hand outs. I have mentioned before that I was uncomfortable with this but I got looked at like I was insane... Am I insane?
