She may be having concerns of her own and needs her friends to be there for her. You're only supposed to have one baby shower for the first baby and this one is it for her. If she's an acquaintance, that's a different story. Then, I'd say rsvp with the caveat that you may not be able to make it at the last minute. Good luck to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-9337608908677904692008-11-18T02:00:00.000-05:002008-11-18T02:00:00.000-05:00For the shower, why not just send a nice gift?

It is all about self preservation for me right now. <BR/><BR/>I hope the injections go easier from now on.Echloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076557769820933518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-74267571080568774392008-11-16T12:40:00.000-05:002008-11-16T12:40:00.000-05:00At my clinic everyone wears two gowns one tying in...At my clinic everyone wears two gowns one tying in the back and the other in the front. Would that work for you?<BR/><BR/>As for the shower, I'd say play it by ear. If your beta doesn't happen until afterwards, then if you do want to attend, go. But if you don't want to, or your beta falls before or on, then I'd say send a gift. She'll understand. And if you want an excuse to say you can't attend then we're having our Christmas Open House that day. ;) <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the injections.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154636161249104743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-66033598924365175922008-11-16T12:05:00.000-05:002008-11-16T12:05:00.000-05:00(hug) I'm really hoping and praying that this will...(hug) I'm really hoping and praying that this will be the only IVF cycle you will need.<BR/><BR/>As far as the baby shower, I would just buy her a gift, and ship it. If she's a good friend, she will understand. I skipped a lot of baby shower when we were trying, and honestly, I still don't like them much.Sambalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431366396844254056noreply@blogger.com
