Clarification....Jodi.....
First...Jodi, please forgive me for speaking to everyone else like you aren't here....
Everyone...
I think Jodi's hormones are definately going 100 miles a second right now...but....
Jodi was told a year or so ago that if she ever wanted to have another child, she had to do it NOW. No ifs, ands, or butts. So...she tried and succeeded in getting pregnant. Shortly after that, Jodi was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Because of the pregnancy, it was decided by her doctors to do nothing about the cancer and focus on keeping the baby as healthy as possible. The baby started growing and putting pressure on her very-weak-due-to-cancer cervex. The doctor put her on complete bedrest...for months. Jodi has few relatives and like most of us, alot of her friends are those here on this board.
Because Jodi's finances are a little tight, she only sent invitations to those who specifically asked for them. Of those on this board, only 4 asked for one. Darrah has moved, we already had booked Cedar Point, Ellen got a surprise ( but welcoming) invasion of family members but would not have been physically able to make it either, and Sam already had something scheduled as well.
I hope you can understand Jodi being a little emotional about no one coming to her shower. I know that Ellen, Annette, and I are sending gifts..but it's not quite the same thing as actually having friends there. Especially friends who can understand the weight-gain aspect of this pregnancy as well.
If you aren't going to be busy this Saturday, please consider calling Jodi's sister & going to the shower to support Jodi. If you are busy, that is understandable, but please send Jodi a card, ecard, a phone call...anything to let her know you're thinking of her and that she is one of our family here on the board.
Thanks....

Cindy,
My baby shower is in Crawfordsville (about an hour away) so my sister, since she works in Indy) has offered her work place as a place for anyone in the Indy area to drop off gifts at if they wished to and/or couldn't make it. She works at Check N Go off of Emerson in Beech Grove. The phone number for there is 780-1111. Her personal cell number is 362-3999 if anyone wishes to contact her.

Hey, congrats on the new baby... You dont need the stress of the baby shower on top of being pregnant... I know you dont know me but I had a complicated pregnancy! I thought I would add that. I understand the other part about wanting people there though... With my daughter I had a babyshower and only like 6 or 7 people showed.. With my son my friend had to cancel my baby shower because her grandfather killed himself... so I didnt have one. I just dont want you to stress over this... if they come to enjoy your baby shower then great... if not you will probabley end up with EVERYTHING you need if not post on here what you need... I have LOTS of EVERYTHING for both boy and girl!!! Sorry, I just look at this and hope you arent stressing... GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!!!!
Jodi,
What's Sarah's (your sister) last name?

Yep Ellen, I got it sometimes in the afternoon (not sure exactly what time as I was in bed and only noticed it when I let the dogs out to go potty). I'll be opening it today at the party. Thank You so much in advance.
