No one in my family or circle of friends has talked about wanting to plan my shower - this is our first baby and also the first grandchild on both sides, and I know everyone's really excited, so I thought maybe they'd be jumping right on it. But then again, I'm still pretty early, 20 weeks, and I really don't have much of a bump - maybe they all think it's too early.
Did most of your families/friends start talking to you about shower plans this early, or should I try to bring it up with my mom, sister, MIL, or SILs before it gets much later?
Or should I just chill out and wait?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
Re: Shower question
My aunts from my mom's side said something around 22 weeks and my aunts from my dad's side said something around 24 weeks.
If no one offered by 26 weeks my mom was just going to throw me one.
edit: I think it also depends on if you're going to have to travel. I will have to so we are doing both of them when I'm 29 weeks.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

haha, I thought about this too, but keep forgetting about the possibility. It's so unlike my family, but you never know.
also I just realized, they might just be pre-occupied because DH's cousin is getting married in a few weeks. I bet something will crop up after that's all done.
ETA: I think I will mention it to my mom though, and maybe my SIL since I'm pretty close to her, and see what happens
