Baby Shower Dilemas

Granted I am not far enough along to be thinking about baby showers per say but in looking at the coming months I have realized oops, bad timing to have a baby. Typically speaking a Mom-To-Be will have a baby shower any where between the end of her 7th month through the actual birth. Sometimes even after the birth if the parents wanted to wait to see what the baby was instead of finding out the sex early. Well, in my case I have screwed that one up royally. I would say I would have my baby shower in December, timing wise that makes a lot of sense, but with an extended Christmas party at my mom's house for the larger family, Christmas at the In-Laws and Dan's birthday, baby shower plans in December are shot. And January is out of the question with me due the 26th. I want 2 weeks to myself on early maternity leave to relax and nest. So that leaves November. Well......??!! November is 2 different baby expos for me to attend, my birthday and Thanksgiving but that leaves 1 weekend left the 5th so we will do my baby shower for my friends and colleagues then. Wait what about family? Looks like it will have to be end of October for that one. Wow. And I thought having the kid would be complicated. I didn't realize the planning around it would be so difficult. Phew! OK too many brain cells being used all at once.
