Baby shower ):

Ugh i have my baby shower this saturday and im kinda dreading it… i moved to MN a couple years ago and really now in adult life i don’t have a ton of friends and no family in the area, feeling kinda sad because we’re doing a brunch w 8 people, 8/20 people i invited could make it after i literally hunted them down for rsvp… idk if it’s just the preggy hormones making me feel so insecure but like i always dreamed of the big celebration and being surrounded by all my loved ones and with my first born i was a teen mom so it wasn’t really a “happy time” my baby shower w her was cute but it was my friends in HS, none of my family members (since then the circumstances have changed and all is good now, it just wasn’t an easy time) so idk i think i tried to not let myself get my hopes up or anything and i am so grateful for those who could come and my best friend offering to help me a bit w it but idk. i think im just sad. anyone else experience this? am i being dramatic? idk

No, you are NOT being dramatic. I moved to Michigan like 8 years ago, no family here. It's hard girl! Especially when you have kids. It's okay to miss them and be sad. Just try to have a good time ans enjoy the time you have with your kids, and talk to your family are lot. Talking to my family a lot helps me!

@Maia thank u 🥹

Aw girl I would totally go I’m moving to Minnesota this month and I can use the friends! Honestly, when I became pregnant with my baby girl who is gonna be a year in June, I realized who the people in my life are I lost a lot of friends due to my pregnancy so you realize who’s there for you and who is not but like I said, I’m down to be your friend. I’ll be moving to Minnesota within this month or next month Specifically Brainerd. Just enjoy your special day with the people who do go!

don’t feel bad I also don’t have friends here in Minnesota. I moved here in 2019 and I just had a baby February 3 and I had a baby shower. I think January 3 of this year and I had three people come and we just met up at a coffee shop and hung out. It wasn’t much of a baby shower because the people I didn’t invite. I didn’t really know very well and clearly that meant something. I also don’t have family here. Well I do have my mother-in-law, but she was not able to come
