You didnt make a humongous *** of yourself!
They gave you a shower b/c they care about you and about your situation as well-tho caring about you is what motivated them.
So you normally are more to yourself and all of a sudden at the shower you hug everyone like they're your family (probably feeling like they were). But, they dont know you to be that way under "normal" circumstances, so you might have surprised one or so, and whomever just didnt know what to make of your spontanaity.
Try to hand deliver your thank you notes, especially before each one leaves, and just word the note that you were profoundly moved by the generosity of everyone. Specifically thank that person for their gift.
Next year, a friendly "Welcome back!, good to see you" and then go on as usual.
BELIEVE ME, if you were at the shower acting like the shower, effort or gifts were no big thing, THEN you would have made a humongous *** of yourself, lost respect of your coworkers and I'm sure angered the same ones who seemed surprised by your show of appreciation.
Be good to yourself. You were hugging for two.
Best to you.

Chill! It's hormones and stress, that's all. I watch all the other preggers get weepy around me and I know. I understand and I'm maybe one of the least understandin' gals you'll meet, so chillax already! Go to work. If they say anythin' or act awkward, just say, "boy was I weepy the other day-- thanks for being so great about it and I hope I'm not like that the entire pregnancy!" That's it. They'll chill, too. 'Sides, it's good for you to let it all out.

it sounds like your hormones are going a little wild. i can get like that when changes happening in my life and my hormones are on the swing. i wouldn't say anything when you get to work. most times people forget unless you bring it up or make a big deal of it. if someone does say something, i would play it off. you'll be fine.

What everyone else said!! You don't have anything to be embarrassed about!! As for the ones who do take exception, well, it just means THEY aren't used to "huggy"!! Their loss, not yours!! Take care and have faith!! Good luck!!

Honey please it's not that serious... You shouldn't feel embarrassed you didn't do anything to feel like a complete as*... Your just emotional and there is nothing wrong with that... Look beyond this and enjoy yourself.. Go to work and be yourself.. You did nothing wrong :) SMILE

People will understand; most people have been there themselves. Just show up; admit you're embarrassed even. People will empathize with you, especially since you're pregnant.

Girl! Relax, you already have one big excuse. You just admitted it...your pregnant!
