My Baby Shower (if you can call it that)

Well, my baby shower is next weekend, and it is turning into quite a spectacle. First of all, my mom is coming, of course. So is my step mom. They get along really well. The problem is that my step dad and my Dad don't really like each other, so I had to ban them both from coming. My boyfriend's Mom is also going to be there. So is his step mom, and they despise each other. The hard part for me is going to be giving them equal attention. They get really jealous of each other. Maybe I can avoid them both. Too bad I can't ban them too. If that's not complicated enough, my boyfriend also has 2 aunts that are twins. They have been in a feud for over a year over some dead relatives jewelry. I have seen them at family functions. It is not pretty. Not to mention, a few of his cousins are coming. I am pretty sure they didn't like me until I got pregnant. All this drama and I just found out my best girlfriend can't get off work, so she won't be there. This shower is turning into an episode of Jerry Springer. I just hope everyone can put their differences aside for the day, and focus on what is really important. Presents!!! On a positive note, I talked Tab (the girl throwing the shower for me) out of playing smell the diaper. That is where diapers are filled with gross stuff, and you have to identify the smell. Who thought that would be fun? Not me. At least by the end, I will have a lot of cool stuff for my baby. That makes it all worth it.
