My best friend is about 5 months pregnant, and I know that for the last 10 years it's all shes wanted from life.
I am over the moon for her and her DH, and wanted to host a baby shower for her.
I contacted a few of her friends and suggested it, and not one can be bothered to turn up, excuses range from "I'm ill" (I've not even discussed dates at this stage), "It's a long way to travel" and even "I didn't think people did that sort of thing anymore"
Now I don't expect everyone to drop their lives and come along, but I thought at least one other would be interested in celebrating this with her.
Firstly - am I right to be annoyed at the complete lack of interest in my friends long awaited and wished for pregnancy?
and Secondly - Should I plod along and try and arrange something anyway (basically be a nag) or should I just treat her to a nice lunch/ pregnancy friendly pamper day and a hamper of new bits for her new arrival?
