Monday confession

in July 2012 Moms
I'm having not one, but two sprinkles...and even though we've been calling them "sprinkles", one invitation actually says "shower."  One is the 20th, and one is the 27th, AND the people throwing them are inviting many of the same people because neither hostess(es) asked me for an invitation list. 

I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm a bit mortified now that they are almost upon me.  I've been so distracted, I didn't really think about what was going on!  I feel a need to confess and purge my soul.  Perhaps I should post this on the baby shower board and open myself to flagellation.  ::hangs head in shame::

I hereby open this thread for flames and more confessions.

    Oh my gosh, the baby shower board must be rubbing off on you!!  I think it'll be okay.  Most times, people know the hosts are the ones who slip up and it wasn't you.  I mean really, you are chasing a toddler and focusing on keeping baby Nicholas cooking, you couldn't possibly have done it!  I wouldn't worry too much, it's been done, so what can you do?

    If it makes you feel better, I have a 'friend' who had kids 18 months apart, threw BOTH showers for herself, then complained when she only got small stuff for her second.  She said (I swear to you, her exact words to me), "It was so annoying, for 1st kids shower, I got all kinds of stuff, but for 2nd kids shower all I got were a bunch of clothes and blankets.  Everyone thought I already had everything, but I had it for a boy, not for a girl!"  I was shocked.  Your baby, your job to provide.  A gift is a gift!  So, at least you aren't that person, you know?

    Thank you!  This actually makes me feel a lot better.  I'm sitting over here just praying people don't think they have to bring a gift for either, let alone both.  The first one is a dinner one, so I'm telling people who ask that it's more just a get together and be happy thing, not so much a "sprinkle" or "shower".

    I'm in the camp that every baby should be celebrated. You know you're not being gift grabby and those who know and love you will know that as well. Have a good time!

    I'm also in the every baby should be celebrated camp, @adorebella.  

    @eafogel I think if people are willing to come to a gtg or two for a second baby, they know you well enough to know you aren't being gift grabby.

    You guys are so sweet! I know a person or two might side eye, but I'm hoping they just won't come if it bothers them. I just keep reading about what's "proper" for second babies on the Dec board and other places...it's got me paranoid. I feel like Dear Abby is going to come smoosh me.

    My H has an aunt who had a shower for each of her four kids.

    I actually didn't even know you weren't supposed to have one for each kid until the bump. I say enjoy them! :)
