Baby Shower Bust

Hey ladies! I just wanted to get something off my chest and I feel like y’all would understand. This past Saturday we had our baby shower. It was a drive by but we did tell people that we had gift bags and they were allowed to get out, hangout and take pictures if they’d like. We just didn’t wanted tons of people packed in a room together because of covid. My best friend went above and beyond, she made little koozies for the water that had our daughters name and arrival date on them, cute cookies, and even mimosas to go in the gift bags. Everything was so cute.

We had about 25 people say they were coming. I didn’t expect a whole lot because my family lives 3 states away and are not that involved in my life and my husbands family lives about 5 hours away. But I had friends, a few coworkers, and some family that was local, distant cousins and such. We made all the gift bags plus extras in case more people came.

The day before the shower My husband tells me that he can’t be there. They let a guy go at work and he wouldn’t be able to make it. I understand but I was sad. And then my mom texts me and tells me that she can’t come-she life’s about 4 hours away from us- I told her I understood. That just meant that I wouldn’t have any of my family at my shower. But things happen, it’s okay.

We had the shower set up from 2-5pm so people could could whenever most convenient for them. Long story short, we had 6 people come. I do have to admit, I am introverted, I have a few friends, but I do keep to myself but for only 6 people to come just kinda sucked. And I don’t want to say anything about it to my husband because I’m very grateful for the people that did come. I’m just 36 weeks pregnant and my hormones have me sad 80% of the time. I had actually had a lot of anxiety about my shower because I kept thinking “what if no one shows up?” And I kinda feel like no one did. I’m very thankful for the cousins that cake and my two coworkers. I just wish I could have seen more people. And I feel bad because my best friend had worked so hard to put everything together and I feel like it was just a bust. Oh well, I just wanted to rant to you ladies a little bit. Now I’m just ready for baby girl to be here and my crazy hormones to calm down!
