I'd much prefer having one. But my mother and my mother in law have refused to work with each other. Some quotes from the conversation..."It's my daughter, and my grandson.""I want something more intimate""It's my first grand baby.""I don't want to take control, but..."My mother and mother in law are two very different people. I'm not sure how I'm going to go about inviting my friends. Which friends go to which shower? I know the families are basically being split up for either side... sigh. Am I the only one? Is it normal to have more then one shower? Any coping solutions? My boss is not going to be happy with me booking 2 weekends off in one month.
calm blue ocean. calm blue ocean.edit: thanks for your input/advice ladies! Looks like a lot of you are having multiple baby showers. After reading all of your posts, and thinking a lot. It will be really nice to have more face time with the guests who are taking time out of their weekend to be there and celebrate with me. Being able to do the special and traditional things with my own family will be very nice. My in laws really know how to make someone feel welcome and comfortable, it'll be great getting to know them all even more.
Over all, I'm very fortunate and lucky to be surrounded by so many people that care for me!
I'll just freak out a little. X_X
Re: Who's having two baby showers? *edit*
AJIrishMama A lot of the family on my side of the family live 5+ hours away as well. I wasn't sure how well our families would mesh together either. Maybe this is a good thing. So for you it was better to have the second shower?
I feel slightly gift-grabby, but there is no possible way to combine any. One is 300 miles away, and the church one here is combined with another pregnant person in our Sunday school class. I'm not inviting my personal friends to a joint shower...
