baby showers..

I think every baby should be celebrated. I didn't just get the necesities for my baby, I got memorable things like a photo album, picture frames, and embroidered stuff, we knew we were having a boy and had him named already so we got a lot of personal items.

I think it is OK. I had a baby shower with my 4th.. my only daughter. It was a celebration of a birth to come. I had a great day but not because of the gifts because my friends/family were there.

I would have another baby shower especially if it is gonna be a girl. You are going to need alot of girl things. for the baby. She can't use those blue items that your little boy got. I think it is fine to go ahead and have another shower but then after this child, if you plan to have more children, then alot of those items can be reused for the next little one. Alot of people have showeres for each child they have but it gets to be expensive for the family and friends when that happens. Good luck and congratulations.

I agree in waiting until after the child is born so that you know if it is a girl or a boy especially since they are going to be born so close together... If it is a girl there is certainly no problem in having another shower but if it is a boy then your first sons clothing will still be in good condition but it is up to you...I can certainly see the adbvantages of having another shower for a boy as there are things like diapers wipes and diaper bags that would be nice to have plus the double stroller and second car seat you probobly don't have... Maybe if it is a boy or a girl for that matter you could register so that people would know what you needed. I wish you all the best with your new little one! :)

I definitely say it is okay!! You could always have an "Essentials" shower, where people bring diapers, wipes, lotions and shampoo...stuff like that for the baby!! Just because it is your second baby doesn't mean it isn't special, I think you need to have a shower!! Each baby is special and should be recognized!!

Why only have one if it's a girl? It ok to have a baby shower no matter how many gets you have.I know most baby showers are meant so you can get things you need that you don't have and by having some children already you probably already have a lot of things. For my second child I had a baby shower exept this time we really just had a party to celebrate the comming of the baby.We had lot's of food drinks and yessome silly games. That way people didn't have to buy me anything. Although they did bring me lot's of food that I was craving during the pregnancy and that was cool. I also got a book from my dad on how to handle sybyl rivalry which helped out a lot. But everyone else just had a good time listening to music,drinking,eating and conversing with one another.

Traditionally you wouldn't have a 2nd shower, but a "welcome baby" would be fine. You could put "no gifts necessary" on the invite, or you could have the person throwing it make it a "little girl stuff" party. Don't beg, but people could bring girl clothes in different sizes, hair things, all that stuff that girls need & like.

I had a baby shower when I had #2. It was a suprise baby shower that I knew nothing about. My kids were 3 1/2 years apart so I was very grateful for a baby shower.
