Getting Excited!

I have my first shower this weekend, and I am getting really excited! 

I was starting to feel a little nervous...I am not the most comfortable when it comes to being the center of attention.  But I started running through who all was going to be there, and it is a really great group (only about 20 people and all of my very closest friends and family). 

I can't wait!!

Re: Getting Excited!

  • I hope you have an amazing time! Soak it all up and remember that the people surrounding you love you and are there to celebrate this exciting time in your life!! Have fun!!
  • How exciting!!!! I can't wait to see pictures.

    Don't forget to take some kleenex with you....just for those hormonal tears. :)

  • very exciting! its so much fun when you get home with all your stuff and start putting things away! ooo you're going to have an awesome time!

    But I know what you mean about being the center of attention, i always felt a little awkward when i was opening gifts and people were gawking at me lol i'm a little shy when it comes to stuff like that

    I've got a new memory card so I have plenty of room for all the pictures I can handle.  And I am so glad that you mentioned the kleenex...I hadn't thought about it, but I will most probably put them to good use.  I have been extremely emotional lately!

    This!  I have a friend who just gushes any time you give her a gift...big or small.  And I just am not like that, so I am afraid that people will assume that I don't love the gift because I am not an over-reactor.

  • Make sure you have fun and you take lots of pictures for us!!
  • That is very exciting.  I'm sure you're going to have a wonderful time.  I also understand the awkwardness though.  I really enjoyed my bridal shower, but I remember sitting up there in front of everyone and feeling odd. lol

    the one great thing about baby showers is everyone just "AWWWWWS" about every gift and they could care less about you. i think i had a harder time during my bridal shower bc it's like "oh towels! YAY?" or i'd open something used for the kitchen and i was like "oh yay a um..uh...umm... thingamajiggy?"

  • You will have so much fun! Take lots of pictures

  • I hope you have a wonderful time! Think about all the cute clothes your going to get!
  • You will have a fabulous time!  And like PP said, it's even better when you get it all home and put it away in Addie's nursery!

  • Have fun!  I hate being the center of attention, so I can sympathize with that...  Pammy's right, though- I never thought about that, but when it comes to the mommy-to-be opening presents, at every shower I've been at, I'm more focused on all the presents because they're so adorable.
