Sorry, another post from me today, but last one (promise!)

A good friend of mine, J, is having her first baby at the end of April. Her and her DH are v excited and she's had a pretty hard time in the last year or two with a big house move and major, unexpected abdominal surgery which meant that she had to cancel her honeymoon and which left her with potential fertility problems.

Me and another friend decided it might be nice to have a very informal, baby shower kind of thing, just to bake her a cake, bring her a few baby-related presents etc.

So not wanting to be bitchy, I emailed another girl, A, who is very close to J and was the bridesmaid at J's wedding. I'm friendly enough with A too so I wanted to let her know about our plans to do something for J, just to make sure this wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes if something else had already been organised along these lines by A or her other friends/sisters etc.

It took A 2 weeks to reply and to say that sounded like a lovely idea and she'd like to be a part of our plans. So we got back to A straight away to suggest sun 28th march as a good date to do it. it's been another 2 weeks since that message and even tho A's on facebook all day every day she still hasn't replied to this message to say she's def up for coming or if the date suits her ok!!

what do you think is going on with her?? aibu if I send her another message so we can get some plans confirmed??

What about phoning her instead?

I was doing to try that this evening but it turns out I have an old mobile no. for her!!

oh well, i guess i've done all i can by letting her know our plans and including her. the ball is in her court but i just feel pretty confused about how she's acting

pick up the phone

Messages can go walkabouts on FB so i'd send her another, but i'd also be getting her tel number from somewhere.

I'd go ahead and plan for 28 March and then send her another message just to say that's when you've arranged, and you hope that's ok because she hasn't got back to you to say it's not!

She may well have assumed that 28
March is a given and is waiting to hear from you with some more plans!

Good ideas! I think I will drop her another message this afternoon and double check the date is ok with her, glad you don't think that would be an unreasonable thing to do
