Baby Shower....or not
I'm the last one of all my friends to have a baby. I have spoiled all of my friends rotten when they had their babies. Whether it be hosting baby showers or making them diaper bags and other handmade items, I have gone above and beyond as a friend to ensure my friends have stuff for their little ones. Now that it's my turn, I can see now that none of that will be reciprocated. I'm due at the end of April. No one has offered or is able to host a baby shower for me. I know I don't necessarily need a baby shower, but I've been screwed out of all other mile stone events that only really happen once (bridal shower, bachelorette party, wedding, wedding photos, etc). To top it all off, my husband is on deployment and not a single person in my life has "doted" on me while pregnant. Maybe I'm being selfish or needy, but I was really looking forward to a baby shower hosted by at least one of the people I did amazing baby stuff for or even my parents for that matter. I realize I could host my own, but I don't really want to do that either. A virtual baby shower seems kinda like an antisocial copout to me (which is kinda up my alley these days). I've got 12 weeks left until my baby girl gets here and no one seems to want to celebrate her with me. I can't help but feel bummed out.
