I kind of understand what you are saying. My shower is tomorrow too and I know that several of my friends can't make it and I have known long enough not to be upset but I really wish they could come. I do have several coming, plus my mom and stepmom. I want my sisters to be there too (they are only 12 and 10...we have the same dad, different moms, which explains the HUGE age gap. We are still close though.) but the other night they weren't sure if their mom was going to let them come or not. My issue is that all of dh's family will likely be there and there are some issues there. Plus, the lady hosting my shower invited a lot of people from my IL's church that I don't even know! So yeah, I wish I had more people I actually wanted there and knew to kind of balance it out.

This will be my first and last shower even if we did have another child in the future. I am seriously grateful that someone was kind enough to throw me one this time but have to admit there is a lot of stress coming from it. I think we will do a "Meet the Baby" party next time, if we do anything at all, and call it a day.

All that being said, I hope you have a fabulous time at your shower tomorrow, Angela!
