Let me start off by saying that I do NOT expect anyone to throw me a baby shower, and I won’t mind if I don’t have one.
I’m 31w4d pregnant and keep getting scolded by people (especially my mother-in-law) for buying baby things and setting up the nursery. She says my husband and I should hold off on buying anything for the baby until after my baby shower. The thing is, no one has mentioned being interested in throwing me one, and I’m due in about a month and a half. Should I hold off like I’m being told, or do you think it’s okay for me to buy the things I need? I’ve held off on buying many clothes, blankets, books, crib bedding and toys thinking those are the things most people would like to buy if they DO want to get something, but I don’t want to hold off on buying anything and then not have a baby shower and feel rushed to buy everything I need just before the baby is born. We already have all the furniture, and lots of used clothes that were given to us by friends, as well as a car seat and two strollers.
What you you think I should do?
Thanks for reading and answering!
