i find myself posting more often to the baby blog.

i am never the type to ask people to give me anything. so weddings and baby showers make me very nervous... do people feel obligated to give? do people feel nervous if they can't find anything they can afford on the registry? i am glad that we didn't have a huge wedding with a registry and this and that. some people say that i should have a wedding reception to get gifts, but i don't feel thats necessary at all. paul and i have everything we need or want... each other, a little boy on the way, friends here and there, and of course internet and our own computers. :X

for my birthday i asked everyone to donate to a charity instead of giving a gift to me. i have everything i need, i never really want anything... so i rather have people come to party either way.

so i am stressing about the baby shower... i mean its still quite a ways off but i don't understand the idea of it all. do any of you feel obligated to give a gift? can someone help me out?
