S/O Baby Showers

csquared426 · November 2010

How many do you have to attend next year? Will you be avoiding them at all costs?

I have 2, and will probably only attend 1.

#1 DH's cousin who has been TTC for over 6 years, and had a ectopic and a m/c is due in February. She and I have gotten really close through this crazy IF journey so I will be flying out to Michigan in January for this one.

#2 Our friend from college - his wife is due in May. I posted about this a few weeks ago. DH was the best man in their wedding and I got the call from his wife that she's PG (we've spoken on the phone once in the 2 years I've known her - and they know our situation). DH had to finally call his friend to congratulate him. I'll probably opt out of this one if I can.

I don't have any forecasted at the moment.

If it's not crazily out of the way & I really like the person, I always try to go. But last year I definitely opted out of the baby shower for my 42 yr. old co-worker who *WHOOPSIE* got surprisingly KU a month after I did, then kept on rubbing her belly in everyone's faces all of the time (even after she knew about my m/c) & said that the 20 lbs. she gained the first month was "all baby". Yeah, I conveniently had something else to do that day...

I think it's wonderful that you're making the long trip to be supportive of DH's cousin! And, FWIW, I would NOT be attending shower #2. Have DH bring his friend a gift. Maybe.

I'll probably be invited to a bunch of them, and I'm planning on going to NONE.

If hell freezes over and I ever get KU again, I'm not even going to have a shower. Holy crap, I hate baby showers with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.

Tell me how you really feel.... Wink

I go if booze is involved and I like the person who is spawning. If not, no thanks. I shall send you a gift card with my rsvp.

I surprised myself by going to one yesterday. Next year, none, I hope! All my friends are working on baby #2 now.

I have one this month that is weighing on my mind. It's my cousin who has PCOS and had to do 2 IUIs with oral meds to get this far. I should be gracious. I should consider her a comfort or an inspiration. But right now I don't. Right now I'm going to inject myself with more gonal-f so I can prepare for IUI #4. :0/

There is one so far that I know of, but I'm sure there will bve more since I went to a ton of weddings this summer and expecting some pg announcements soon. I plan on going to none of them. I haven't been able to go to any for a few years just too tough for me. First with dealing with infertility and now with the losses.

Whoops...stupid double post. You'd think I was already into the sauce or something.

Oh, you're so right. I totally forgot about the adult beverage coefficient! That does have a bearing on my attendance. Most definitely. Drinks Drinks Drinks
