 |
|
| So I had my baby shower almost two weeks ago and my supervisor sent me a text saying " she cannot make it but she will mail me my gift". She sits right accross from me at work.I noticed someone purchase a mattress off my registry and I have asked all of my friends if they purchased it and they said they did not.I'm due March 8, 08 but I'm starting to set up the baby's nursery.I have not received the mattress and babies r us cannot check the status of the order without the order number.She loves recogntion also, so if she bought it and i did not say thank you because of the fact I did not receive it she will be offended. She does not know that I have not received it. I dont want her to think I received it and I did not say thanks.Should I ask her if she purchased the mattress and for the order number? How do I ask her if she says yes she bought it? |

| Tell her that you are going out on your day off to shop for mattresses. If she bought you one then she should say "Don't buy it. I already got it for you". Good luck and congrats on the blessed event! |

| Only if you are exceptionally rude and have no manners whatsoever. |

| Just casually mention that someone has ordered by the mattress but it has not arrived and you don't know who placed the order to talk to about it. |

| "Hey, Jen, say, i was wondering, remember when you told me you were gonna buy me my gift, yea, um, you see, im preparing everything for the baby's arrival, and i was just wondering if you bought anything from the registry, you know, just to make sure everything arrives."If she says yes, feel free to ask for the order number.... you know "just to make sure" |

| I agree with THE DUKE and BOWSGIRL, just mention while she is in earshot that you are going mattress shopping and don't ask, it will look tacky. You can always return it later if you already have one and I didn't use my crib mattress until 4 mos. later after our son outgrew his bassinett. |

| I wouldn't ask her if she purchased it, that would be rude and presumptuous. It would be OK to talk with her and tell her that you really missed her at your party and let her know that she missed a good time. If she did get you something, she will more then likely bring it up and ask if you liked it. Make sure everyone gets thank you notes and that way she will know that you sent notes and let you know that she sent you something. It might just be that she didn't get you anything (even though she said that she did) You will figure it out. Buy a mattress and take hers back if it turns out that she did get you one. Or even work it into the conversation with her that you put one on layaway and you hope that you can get it paid off before the baby gets here. She will let you know for sure then. |

| Getting one on your own and returning hers would be a great idea. if she were concerned that you didn't thank her or worried that you hadn't received it, she would ask, "has my gift arrived yet?"There's always, "Ugh! I feel a little stressed right now, I keep thinking about the nursery and anxiously awaiting the baby to arrive. I just feel like there is so much to do.......list some things, mention the crib and maybe she will interject. |

| just when you see her let her know that you will be setting up your nursery and was wondering who might have got the mattress and that you would love to have it to finish your baby's room if she was the one who got it then she will let you know |
