Lazy Bridesmaid Problems?

This is me venting and asking for advice, all in one. I have done all the wedding planning by myself. I'm not upset about it... I enjoyed making all the decisions.

This is me venting and asking for advice, all in one. I have done all the wedding planning by myself. I'm not upset about it... I enjoyed making all the decisions. But now, we are 6 months from the big day. None of my bridesmaids have been helpful or offered to do anything for me. 2 of my girls are pregnant and will have their babies before the wedding. One of those girls is waiting until she "loses her baby weight" to order her dress. She is due at the end of June and the wedding is October 5th. The other mama-to-be ordered her dress before her belly popped, and she will have it altered in September after her baby is born. My MOH ordered her dress too. So, two girls have ordered and two girls have not and neither can give me any answers about when exactly they plan on doing so. This is stressing me TFO. Bridal shower and bach party haven't been planned either. So basically I'm having to beg my girls to do every little thing and it's starting to make me angry. IDK... I guess I have always been the "helpful bridesmaid" willing to go to appointments and fittings and help with decorations and invites and planning parties. And my girls are NO WHERE to be found when it's time to start planning my events. It's like no one cares. Two of them don't even respond to my texts. I just don't understand. I'm not asking too much... I know this! Because I have done everything myself so far without asking anything from them. I'm kind of hurt that my girls aren't excited or they are just blowing it off like it's no big deal. How do I handle this situation? I've always been a "go with the flow" type of person so even saying something to them is going to be hard. But I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment if I don't push them and my girls don't get their dresses ordered and altered by October.

    I am excited about the babies! I was with my best friend when she found out the gender and I threw her reveal party 2 weeks later. I'm decorating for her baby shower next month as well. We even picked out the outfit to tell her husband the gender right after her appointment! So I've been there through it all, without even mentioning my wedding. And she hasn't even asked so... That's kind of where I'm coming from. I'm there for everyone and everything, always putting the things I'm excited about to the side. It is what it is. The feelings suck though.


    On a sidenote- not that it matters- I put others before myself. It's not something to brag about, it's really a weakness and totally makes sense why I picked the career I did. Anyway, this friend's car broke down recently and I didn't hesitate to help or drop what I was doing to be there for her. And on my drive to pick her up, I got to thinking about everything and that's where this post came from. Maybe she's my best friend but I'm not hers? I never really thought about that until just now.
