What do ya'll think?

Ok ladies, here's a decision I should be able to make for myself, but just can't.  I'll give ya a bit of backround to go with the question.  I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow and am wondering if I should get the mommy a corsage of some sort.

Backround: One of DH's co-workers who I've known through his work for a few years is pregnant.  She'd asked me if I wanted to do yoga with her and I said yes.  She is kinda annoying (found out after agreeing to yoga) and drives me nuts.  That being said, she made a big deal out of the fact that she wanted someone at her work to throw her a shower.  I was feeling bad because I knew one was already being planned for me. (I'm due after her)  I was getting ready to start planning a work shower with DH for her, but found out someone else already was.  Turns out, she went up to this chick and asked her to throw the shower with her because nobody else would.  Also gave her a list of 50 non-coworkers to invite.  I kinda bowed out at this point because I found the whole situation stupid.  And I'm on mod bedrest and didn't need the stress.

The girl who got roped into hosting it is super nice.  I heard the other day she was freaking out because she couldn't afford the shower and was very overwhelmed.  I asked her if there was anything I could do.  So, I talked with DH, got some free food for the shower (it's at their restaurant), am doing the games (yuck!).  She also asked me to bring some flowers...which I'm doing.  But now I'm wondering if I should get a corsage to...

Sorry this is so long, I'm irritated and rambling.  Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!!

    I remember reading this before I think? I don't think the corsage is necessary. You're doing enough.

    I would not bring a corsage. For one, I have never really seen corsages as necessary at baby showers.. but of course, that could be a local thing. For another, maybe the original host already got one.. which is why she didn't ask you to bring it. She seemed forthcoming with the rest of her needs.

    Either way, you were initially not supposed to be helping with this.. and you're SUPPOSED to be resting missy! :P GL with the shower.. hope it isn't too stressful!

    I have never ever heard of anyone getting a corsage at a shower. I think you're already doing more than enough.

    Thanks guys...I think I did vent about the situation once before because it just irriates me so bad.  I don't know why I'm worried about such a small thing...but hey, I have a bit of OCD! :-)

    Annie, I promise to take it easy.  For once, having my issues may work in my favor....two contractions and I'm outta there!

    It's my Mom's fault.  She sent me to Catholic school and I feel tons of guilt if I'm not overly nice.  Puke!
