Okay, so this question is probably better suited for TB, but I like it over here better. I haven't posted much about it, but about 5 months ago I gave birth to a gorgeous little girl.
I was actually really shocked about the pregnancy. I could have been one of those "I didn't know I was pregnant" people because I literally found out when I went to the doctor at about 7 months with what I thought was just indigestion and a huge food-baby, and it turned out I was in labor! (I know this makes me sound crazy, but I have had irregular cycles for years.....and honestly I just thought I was getting fat).
Well, FF to now and DD is gorgeous. I am so happy to be blessed with such a cutie. The thing is though, I just feel really bad because she had an emergency birth and was premature and because of the fact that she was a huge surprise we never got to have a shower to celebrate her coming into the world and get all the cute photos and stuff that all my friends on PInterest and FB have for their bundles of joy.
Don't get me wrong, now that DD is 5 months old we've got most of the "baby gear" covered and this isn't about getting gifts or anything. I just think that it sucks that I missed out on the "being pregnant" experience that everyone else got to have because I was totally in the dark about it!
Would it be completely out of line to have a baby shower for DD for her 1 year birthday? It would just be a great opportunity to get all the friends and family together to celebrate the baby and welcome her into the world. And, while gifts would TOTALLY be optional, is it tacky to register? I just feel like it's not DD's fault that she was born premature and we didn't know about the pregnancy...
Ahhh! Please help!
