Baby shower

[dsll]

was just wondering how others would feel.
I am pregnant with baby no.2 I didn't get to have a baby shower first time as she was a premie and came b4 the baby shower date.
I've never been fussed about having a shower but my 2 sisters particularly 1 of them kept saying to have one and they'll do this and do that so I finally agreed and was actually looking forward to it and it felt special. Its 3 weeks away and my sister who was trying to convince me to have it just sent a txt saying she got a really good deal to ho on holiday the day before the shower and shes going with 2 other people who were supposed to be attending so she can't make it.
Now my other sister is left to host herself and I can tell she'd rather not but will. I just feel a bit disappointed and let down as she was getting me all hyped up and convincing me to have it and it cannot be another date not that she offered to move it. I don't really want it now and think I'll just cancel. I just feel embarrassed about getting all excited and agreeing to it then it's like sorry something betters came along bye.

I can see why you feel like that. My opinion is if you really don’t care for a baby shower then don’t have one - at the end of the day this is your baby your pregnancy journey and you don’t have to agree to the shower. If you think you’re going to end up regretting it on the day and not enjoying it then there is no point

I think that's poor form on your sisters part and understand why you feel disappointed. Who else will be coming/where is it being held? Surly, you'll still have a good time with those who are able to attend?

You're not unreasonable at all to feel disappointed and let down by your sister, I would be a bit gutted too. Also nothing to be embarrassed about!

I think seeing as it is booked and I assume mostly arranged, you should try to change your mindset as it being something to look forward to and a way to spend time with your other sister and friends. You could help your sister finish any remaining bits of planning and just have a really fun day and enjoy being celebrated!
