So I'm moving at 20weeks to a city were I know about two people. Across the entire country from most my pals and mom and 5 hours away from the rest of family(cousins and grandparents)
I will be traveling back thru the two towns where most of my girlfriends are and my mom is near when I'm 27weeks (on the outbound and inbound of our pre baby vacation) , since I'm having twins this will be the last time I see these folks till the babies are about 5-6 months old. These are my first and most overwhelmingly likely only kids.
Do you think I should mention to my BFF that I would be available on that particular date for a baby party or maybe just say "to see all you" or is that rude and fishing for things? I worry that I'm going to get call or mention when I'm there that they would like to throw something and "when are you going to be around again?" and then it will be too late.
I really want to see all these folks and just have any type of party, I have not seen many of them since mid July and won't see them till next June, i miss being closer to them soo much, many of us have known each other forever but now are kinda used to being in different states, it makes up no less close thankfully. But it does mean that spontaneous gathering are nearly out of the question.
If it matters I'm am guessing and happy that most of the gifts at a shower would be hand me downs, since a lot of them have babies or young toddlers now and it is the norm to do passing down in this group. I have already heard, when I announced, folks talking about pulling out their baby stuff for me.
