Hey mamas! I’m feeling sad but I’m sure it’s just my hormones. My first baby shower was a disaster because supposedly it was too early in the day and far away (15 minute drive) from all of my husband’s family. I don’t have family here except parents and sibling. My Mother in law made us invite her entire family which was over 100 people and maybe 15 people showed up. I was heartbroken.

Here I am expecting our second babe and she says she’d like to throw us a baby shower. (We paid 75% for the first shower). It’s been 3 years since the first one so I was open to it but nervous to get hurt again. She got me really happy and excited for it though. She said it was her last grandbaby so she wanted to do this so bad! She booked the venue and ordered a bunch of decor already. I relinquished complete control so that everything could be done her way and no one could say it was too far or too early in the day. Today she asked my husband if we liked the idea of just receiving money from her instead of her throwing the shower. I don’t know why but I feel weird and like questioning what happened that made her ask him that. I did notice when we were ordering the decor that she said hurry up before my father in law got home because she didn’t want to hear him fussing about the baby shower to her. My husband is sad because he feels he wanted to protect me from anymore “baby shower” hurt but I told him I was fine. to tell his mom to save her money because we actually have everything we need. We never asked for a baby shower and it seems like we were begging or something. Just feel a little sad for some weird reason

:(.
