[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a 2 year old, but I had no friends to invite to a baby shower either.  And no one offered to host a shower for me.  So I just didn't have one.  It bothered me a lot at the time, as a first time mom.  So we just ended up buying everything ourselves, as we didn't really receive any baby gifts either.

I decided to create a whole new social circle and make a lot of friends as a SAHM.  I joined a few moms groups, playgroups, and made it a goal to make new friends and build a community.  I definitely have way more friends now as a SAHM than I ever did before (at least since college).  Now we're in the midst of infertility as we try for baby #2, but if I ever do get pregnant, I do plan to have a baby shower since I never had one the first time around.  I'm going to host it myself, and I'm going to specify no gifts, because it's not the gifts that's important, it's feeling supported and loved (which I definitely didn't feel the first time around).[/quote]

This is really sweet. I love your perspective.[/quote]
