I'm not sure she really offered...

Ok, so I'm not sure if I'm getting a babyshower or not... And other friends are starting to ask me about it too. 

So I have a best friend whom I always assumed would throw my baby shower, but hasn't offered yet. I'm nearly 20 weeks along and in the first 19 weeks, not a word has been said. I'll be honest, at first I was upset that nothing had been said because it just seemed off that she wouldn't want to throw it. I had felt that she, in general, was just getting too busy for me... it wasn't just the shower, but life in general...I was and still am seriously emotional/hormonal... anyhow...

The other day, she sends me an email telling me we need to look at dates for my shower and a mutual friend's sip n see (that we are throwing)... This is the first and only thing  I have heard and it wasn't really an offer.. was it? I don't want to respond with a date that works for me if she wasn't really offering to throw it... Is it rude to just respond and tell her I'm not sure if she was offering to throw it? If she was, she may be offended that I would have thought otherwise... If she wasn't offering... I don't want to offer a date when I don't have anyone throwing me a shower. I don't see a win for this situation. 

I'm considering chickening out and having my sister email her and ask if she was planning on hosting a baby shower for me.

    I think you are overthinking it.  It sounds like she is planning to throw your shower and she assumes it's a given, just like you did.  So just respond to her with dates and move on.

    Sounds to me like she's planning on throwing you a shower.  Give her your available dates.  If your sister indicates she's interested in helping out, put the two of them in touch with each other, then stay out of it.

    It wouldn't be the first time I was accused of over thinking something... In fact not even the first time today.

    I'll just go with it.

     

    Thanks

    This is how my BFF offered. She assumed it was a given and started by calling to talk about dates and location.
