my fiance and i are ttc. i still have a bunch of baby boy stuff. i am quite ossibly pregnant not, but wont know for a week or so i i am or not. if this baby is a girl, i will need some different stuff. is it bad form to have a babyshower for the second baby?
Here it's considered really tacky, but I believe the general consensus is that it's perfectly fine.
No. A lot of people have baby showers for every baby now days. I am going to have one for this one, but I am putting down that gifts are not required.
Every life is worth celebrating, and whether you have a shower or not, people will most likely get things for you here and there anyways.
ds is three and will be 4 when this (hopefully) baby is born. i still have 2 boxes of nb-9m clothed for a boy, but if i have a girl we are going to need a bunch of stuff. and especially a new crib, as his was recalled since its a drsop side. i took it apart when we got his toddler bed and dont even know where the bolts and stuff are. lol. it has been stacked in pieces in the garage for a year and a half. lol
I don't see a problem with having one for the second child. Do what makes you happy.
I am an older mom, so my opinion will likely be different. I would never dream of having a 2nd shower, no matter how long it is after the 1st child. It seems greedy and I'm sure anyone getting an invitation would feel the same. If someone would like to give a gift for the baby, they could still come to visit and give one, but a shower that people feel inclined to bring gifts is tacky. Having a shower IS asking for gifts, even if you say they aren't necessary. You would feel like a complete ass showing up without one.
People are so inconsiderate! What would you have done?
