I'm nervous

in North Dakota Babies

I think my shower may be tomorrow.  I was completely surprised for my bridal shower so my emotion was totally real.  I was so overwhelmed and crying when I walked in.  So now that I think I know it's tomorrow, I don't know how to act.  Does that make sense?

We usually have showers at a hall or a restaurant, so I think they're trying to throw me off by having it at my aunt's house.  I heard my mom say something about catering a few months back and they would only need a caterer if it was at a house.  I've been on the lookout for invitations for family parties and nothing has come in.  My aunt emailed and called me this week to let me know that she's throwing together a last minute party/BBQ at her house.  (My family is anything but last minute about things.)  DH didn't even try to put up a fight about us having to go to this last minute event when he usually gives me a hard time about squeezing things into full weekends.  Additionally, a lot of stuff has come off my registry this week.  It's only 1:00 and 4 more things have already come off today.  (I can't control the stalking.)

I'm excited about possibly finally having stuff for the baby (almost all of my big stuff has been bought :) but at the same time, I hate this feeling of thinking that tomorrow may be the shower.  I guess it's probably better to not play detective and just be genuinely surprised!

    Even if you're not genuinely surprised you can be genuinely happy and grateful!!

    I think you'll be fine and you'll have a great time!

    I *knew* about my surprise baby shower too. Just walk in with a big smile and an "Oh my God!" Don't be nervous. It's a shower for you!!!! It's supposed to be fun, no one will give a second thought to your "reaction" Have fun tomorrow!

    I'm really bad about always figuring out (and "ruining") surprises. DH was able to miraculously surprise me with his proposal, but that is rare. I had lots of raw emotion that day, and I think you will be fine if you just go into it with a very appreciative tone. You'll do fine - and enjoy it!

    I'm the same way.  I think you can either

    A. Act surprised

    B. Just be happy and greatful like the other ladies said.

    Keep us posted! I can't wait for an update tomorrow.

    I gave a surprise baby shower once and the girl (a coworker) suspected something was going on that day but didn't fully trust herself that it was a shower.  With it being summer, a bit warm (It was in June), and her being a bit tired, she was still a bit emotional in a grateful way.  All people are looking for is to see that you're happy to see the people that are there.  So don't worry about it and enjoy it if tomorrow is the day!

    It would make me totally CRAZY not knowing when my shower was. It would be so fun to be surprised like that though. At least you have an idea now, so you can be sure to wear a good outfit. :) Try not to be too nervous, & have fun if it does turn out to be tomorrow!

    I'll totally crack up if I've been a mess over nothing for the past 24 hours.  I'm just sitting here waiting for DH to get out the shower and trying to remain calm.  I have to try to control myself on the drive over there.  Ahhhhh!  I'll be back to give an update either way around 5-6 I guess.

    Either way, I hope that you have a great time.  Maybe they are throwing you off and they will take you some place from your aunt's home.
