[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. You don't have a baby shower -- someone throws one for you. So you can turn it down if you don't want one.
2. You need to make better friends in DC if you plan to live here long-term and raise children here. Put more effort into friendships here than your old friends back home. It will pay off, particularly when you are PPT and need support and mommy friends.

Good luck[/quote]

I'm the OP. To clarify, I do have about a dozen closer friends here. But I see them sporadically due to work schedules, living all over the DMV, work travel, and being in different life situations (some are single and dating, others are at home with a new baby, etc). I have put in the effort--and unfortunately have had to say goodbye to a lot of friends I've made  since we've lived here who have left for various reasons--moving home, deployment, grad school, new jobs, etc. The constant churn of people in and out of the city can make lasting friendships hard. And I am planning on joining PACE and some mom's groups as I get farther in the pregnancy to meet other moms. I realize people throw a shower for you--and a few of my friends have already asked if someone is planning on doing that (I've told them no). [/quote]
