I got this in my FB inbox today.
FSIL that is prego just had her baby shower. She's due early May. She's the one that told Fi the day we told family we're engaged to wait until she has a baby so she can be the first.
Anyway, I got this in my inbox from her bfs mom
We are having a "surprise" personal shower for M on Saturday, April 17th at Cousinos. We are doing at 12:00, everyone buys their own lunch. I'm only inviting family, and would love for you and Nate to come if you can. Get her things to take to the hospital with her, like p.j.'s , and lotions, things like that. I'm going to get her a pedicure, so her toes can look cute when she delivers!!! Hope you can make it!!!
Am I wrong to feel really uncomfortable with this? Don't get me wrong, I think it's a really sweet idea, but only in theory.
I talked to my SILs and older sister about what they wish they brought when they gave birth and they just said extra undies and pads. So that's what I'm getting her, along with some sock slippers.
I guess my issue is that we just bought her a bunch of stuff for her shower, yes for the baby. But I'm sorry, anyone that I've known pregnant was way too uncomfortable at 9 months to even care about their feet or if their skin was super soft. Idk. To me it just seems sort of frivolous.
We are going, yes. But only because we missed the shower (Fi had to work, no he could not take off) and she was really upset that we weren't there
