Marci told me that she and her husband are meeting with a mortgage broker this week. Apparently they are thinking of selling their wonderfully perfect house. She said something about a proposed freeway going in over their house. [...] [...] To add to this, I got an e-mail from my bestest friend from junior/high school, Marci.

Unless of course it's a surprise, which this isn't. I’m a firm believer that at any sort of party, the person for whom the party is for should make the final list of who is to be invited (or not).

My family is also from the thinking that your mom or family throw your baby shower and that bridal showers don't make sense. They also think that you should get a baby shower for each baby you have. Sometimes Emily Post and all those that follow her to a "t" piss me off. I want to yell at those gals and tell them that I don't care what some book says, commen sense dicates that if your mom wants to help or throw your shower than for goodness sake let her. SHE IS YOUR MOTHER FOR THE LOVE OF PETE. I digress. Anyway, back to your point. If you don't want your extended family you don't have to have them. If your mom wants them than she could have thrown you a "family" shower and your friend Marci could have thrown you a friend one. My bridal shower is in a month.

And I think showers are almost ALWAYS painful for the guest of honor. I'm not a big fan because it seems someone always gets bent out of shape just as is happening here. Any chance you can just explain to your mom that she's stressing you out and it's not good for the baby? You won’t look like a whale, no matter what.
