Hi mamas,

I’m almost 24 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby and realizing that I’m actually really sad I won’t be having a baby shower.

I moved to a new state last year and don’t have a lot of friends here. I work at home so I don’t have coworkers to invite. A couple of friends might be able to visit before the baby comes but it’s still undecided.

I just recently got back in touch with my estranged parents. And my in laws have not been involved from the start, they’ve made it very clear that they disapprove of our choice to expand our family- right after I went through a mmc but that’s another story 🙄

Anyways, I recently went to a friend’s shower and it was beautiful with lots of guests. While I was there, I was so happy to celebrate my friend and her baby. And I was fine up until tonight with the fact that I won’t have that. I don’t care about getting gifts, I just wish I could have a day filled with people we love, celebrating our new arrival. I know at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if you have a shower or not, but tonight, I can’t help feeling sad about it.

My husband is so amazing and has been my rock. But it’s really hitting me how lonely this pregnancy has been. Can anyone relate? How do I get over it? Thanks for reading if you got this far, maybe I just need to vent 💗
