Bekz- We might have a family baby shower but I was thinking it'd be better to do that after bubs is born, so we know the gender and sizes and don't get stuff we wont use and we can use that opportunity to introduce it to everyone.

The other thing is getting to the classes, I'd like DP to come with me to them (and need him to take me anyway, as I have no other means of transport) but he's at TAFE full time. So we'd only be able to go on weekends or after 5pm-ish.

I'm also reluctant to go because I have a pretty intense fear of real life social situations, so I think I definitely need DP there for moral support.
I know it's important, but I can't make myself to do it.
Half the time I don't know if I'm just making excuses to not go or if my reasons are valid.
