Baby shower blowup - I feel terrible

in June 2012 Moms

Starting last night, I caught a stomach bug.  DH had it last week, and it's pretty terrible.  I emailed in sub plans for work, and went to sleep.

When I woke up, I had four missed calls, two voicemails and some texts.  Then my mom called asking if I was okay because my work had called her too! 

It turns out today was my surprise baby shower at work!  So they're going to have the party without me and I'll open presents next week. I feel so guilty, but it's not like I called out just for fun - I am confined to the bathroom at this point.  I know I'm doing the right thing by staying home but geeze do I feel bad :-(

    It's not like you planned it, and like you said it's not that you called off "for fun". Plus it was a surprise, it wan't like you even knew about it.

    Don't be too hard on yourself and feel better!

    Awww... That stinks they put work into a shower, and you're missing it, but when you're sick, you're sick.  That was so thoughtful of them to try to surprise you.

    Thanks ladies.  Between feeling guilty (though I'm trying not to), feeling sick, and being hormonal, I really just want to cry right now Sad

    Aw I'm sorry you're missing your shower! I would try not to feel bad though - you haven't done anything wrong at all. I'm sure everyone will understand. Hope you feel better!!!

    Oh that stinks. :( When you're sick, you're sick though. You couldn't have helped it. It is sad to miss the shower but it wouldn't have been fun to go being sick.
