Baby shower Blues

My issue: I have no friends in VA due to no one my husband works for is married, & my work...I'm a nanny. So it's not like reg work where you can have friends. 

My mother & SIL (who's also pregnant) want to throw a shower for me in FL. Great! Problem. All my old friends from high school I see every so often when I visit. But it's only maybe a hand few of friends. They keep asking me who I wanna invite but I feel awkward asking them to come because I don't want it looking like I want a gift only. I'm kinda nervous I'll have anyone there aside from some family. It's a mess. & im stressed 😔
