From what I can understand and from an outsiders point of view when you had your first it was this big exciting thing but now yournon your 2nd it's not so much 'a big deal' although it is still exciting it's not the first where as your sis in law it's now her time to shine as its her first big exciting one, it just ***** it's around the same time so your feeling really let down. You could organise your own or have help from a friend but as much as you want one aswell the timing is an issue it seems and I don't think it would fair to take away your sis in laws first big one just like you got yours. You could even opt for a joint shower?? Just try not to let it get to you to much and still have your own but let her have her time to shine aswell :)
I have kind of had the same feelings a little bit with me and my younger sister. I had a boy 3 years ago and now I'm due in March with a girl. My sister is also having a girl due the end of this month. Family friends threw my sister two showers and no one has offered to do one for me. I am excited that we are both having girls so close but I feel a little let down about the shower..
Actually if you look at her post it's her mother that's throwing her brothers fiance a baby shower and not her bc it's her second child. So her own mother is throwing the other girl a shower.
There is nothing wrong with planning one for yourself. Maybe have a completely different theme then your sister in law to really set your apart. I can understand what your moms intentions are but her execution was wrong. Moms sometimes forget about feelings and emotions that are tied into pregnancy. Don't beat yourself up to much about it, your expanding your family!! That's exciting!! Enjoy it!
That's hard. I'm sorry. I'm not sure why she would say that to you but it was unnecessary. I would just make other arraignments.
That would be heart breaking for me! Have one of youur best friends set one up for you:)
Maybe since you've experienced this before...and it's her daughters first time she wants to make sure she has the full experience. ..can your family give you a baby shower?
