Baby Showers
not having a baby shower
This is my first baby, I am not sure if I'm going to have a baby shower. My family lives far away, and to be sincere I don't feel like throwing a party for the people I know here. I know that women are very sensitive when pregnant but, I had some thrust issues with a friend and a co-worker and don't feel like inviting them. I think I'll just keep the money and have a babymoon before the baby is born, I would like to enjoy my fiance a little bit. Any advices?

Re: not having a baby shower
You definitely shouldn't throw your own shower. Either someone offers to throw one for you, or you don't have one.
I do think spending some money on a babymoon with your fianc? is a great idea. Eh and I went on a tropical vacation last winter and it was wonderful.
I agree with the previous posts that you should not throw yourself a shower. however, I would like to add that you should go ahead and make a registry. Most of the time stores will offer a discount on the items "not purchased for the event". And if nothing else it can serve as a check list of what you need for baby.
A babymoon sounds like a wonderful idea.
My shower is on Sunday and I didn't want one at all but got talked into it since I only want 1 baby and this would be my only chance.. I don't speak to a lot of my family and my friends and dh's fmaily lives out of state.. I would rather spend the afternoon at home with dh since he works so much rather than some place I'd rather not be all afternoon.. At least dh will be there with me..+
I say hang on to your $$ and spend it pampering yourself
Exactly this.
Thank you guys for all the replies and good advice.
