I just found out a few weeks ago that I'm pregnant. I just moved a year ago away from family and friend (1300 miles away) and probalby will not be having a baby shower. I am disappointed, since baby showers and gift giving is something my friends/family live for. How can I still let everyone know (my family already knows) that I'm pregnant, and also that I am registered (gift registry)? As it is my first pregnancy, I'd like to send announcements, but do you usually do that before or after or both? I likely cannot throw myself a shower, and it wouldn't do any good, considering most everyone is over 1300 miles away! What is the appropriate thing to do in this situation, since I'd still enjoy the cards/gifts, as would my family enjoy sending them? I just don't want to make it seem like that's the only reason I'm sending anything out.. What's a girl to do?
