forgotten baby shower?
I’m due in September. This isn’t my first baby, but it has been over a decade since our first and this pregnancy was unexpected and literally starting all over because we obviously kept nothing except a crib. 😂 My friend told me two months ago she wanted to have a shower/sprinkle for me and asked me my preferences for where and when. I told her I would like to do it on an evening/night because I work overnight and it would keep me from having to take multiple PTO days because I’m reserving them for mat leave and I don’t care where just don’t want her or our other friends put out on costs. She was all excited about it and said she was going to get with some other friends and we discussed a date and I will have to take off work (it’s a Friday evening). Well…the picked date is approaching in about 3 weeks and I have heard nothing else.
I’m fine if nothing is done, but I don’t want to take a whole day out of my maternity leave if we aren’t doing it and I don’t know how to ask my friend about it? I feel like it’s so rude to be like “hey are we doing this or not?” I don’t want to seem like I am demanding something be done for me because I really don’t expect that kind of thing, but I have had a handful of people between work and other friends ask me a few weeks back if I’m having one because they want to be there or they have asked about a registry. It’s just kind of put me in an awkward spot and I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes.
