Today was supposed to be the day part of my extended family meets my baby for the first time. She’s only met her grandparents, aunts, and uncle. But I found out yesterday that Easter get together was being canceled so they can go to some kids birthday party. All their kids are grown, so it’s weird to me that it’s a priority for them. Theirs been no other discussion about meeting her before the next family event (4th of July, she’ll already be 6 months old then). No other family on either side has contacted me or my husband about getting together to meet her besides my grandma. Am I supposed to be reaching out to them? No one’s even said anything to me since I’ve given birth. Idk if I’m over thinking this and I’m still just very hormonal, but I feel hurt. I don’t know what to do. I just want to do more things with my baby now that she’s 3 months old, including meeting all the people I care about. Any advice would be great, I’m not the best at communicating.

Have you thought about hosting a 100 day party? I hosted one and she was able to meet a lot of her cousins and relatives and they had a good time meeting her.
Sometimes people won’t reach out because they’re respecting your time and know that you’re busy with your baby.. or they’re waiting until your baby gets their vaccines because they don’t want to get your baby sick. It’s pretty hectic and tiring the first few months (for me anyway) so I appreciate the rest.
