It's for a baby shower.
Not only is it for a baby shower, it's for a baby shower for a lady that knows that Babe and I are dealing with infertility.
She is the same lady that knew that our IVF did not work.
She is the same Gal #2 that in April, told me I should "just adopt", and how she knows people that have adopted and got pregnant after. I told her off and set her straight about how wrong she was then. You can read about it here.
Oh and did I mention that this will be her 3rd baby? Yes THIRD!! Number 3!!
Wait a minute, I thought people only had baby showers for their first baby. Am I wrong? Do people have baby showers after the first one?
I'm sorry if I'm being critical, but is she doing this just for gifts? I know that times are tough, and she may not be doing well financially, but still.
I understand that she is happy to be pregnant again and want to share her joy with her friends, but I think that it is just inconsiderate and insensitive. Maybe she wants to make sure that I don't feel left out if I found out she is having a baby shower and I am not invited.
But I think she could have been more sensitive. She could have told me in person about the shower and asked if I would like to attend, and then send me the invitation. Instead, I get the invitation on Faceb.ook, along with 40 other people.
Am I just being too sensitive?
I don't plan on going anyway, but have not responded to the invite. Not sure if I even want to get her a gift. I'm not even that close to her.
The other thing is, we are both going to be in the same group in a program a church, so I will be seeing her every week for the next 10 weeks, until she has the baby. I don't even remember when she said her baby is due.
I suppose I could just say no the the invitation, don't give an excuse, and just hope she doesn't ask why.
She should know why, right? Or am I just being presumptuous?
Am I the one being too sensitive?

Thanks to everyone that commented. I have declined the invitation on Faceb.ook, and thankfully it no longer appears when I sign on. I still have not decided if I will get her a gift. Her shower is more than 3 weeks away, so I have time to decide.
