Woo Hoo!! (Advice Pretty Please) *Tiny Edit with another question*

[MaeHamMomma]

 I am 25 weeks pregnant with my fourth and (probably) last child. I have an eight year old daughter, a five year old son, and a two year old son. This baby is a boy as well.

I had not planned on having a shower because this is my third boy in a row and I did not want to be tacky. So I had not even brought it up to anyone. 

Well last night my friend (who has four children also, a boy and three girls in a row) asked me if she could throw me a shower.

I am kinda excited. I mean the whole point of a shower is to celebrate the new baby right? And I do want to share my joy with my friends and family. But at the same time I have no clue what to register for.

We already have all the big things (crib, strollers, car seat) and most of the little things. We still use baby soap and lotion on all of our kids so we have that kind of stuff too.

So...... What do I register for?? Or do I even register?

The only thing I really really want but don't have is a moses basket. But they are a little pricey and I don't want to be tacky.

ADVICE PLEASE!!

*Tiny Edit*

Would it be tacky of me to ask my friend to throw me a diaper shower rather then a typical baby shower? It was her idea to throw the shower and I don't want to step on her toes by asking her to host a certain kind. KWIM?

if you already have everything then maybe just a few little things here and there. if you dont want to seem rude then dont ask for anything just the company.

[shyysmom]

well ask for the basket and if someone wants to get it for you they will or they can all put their money together and get you one

other then that i would just tell the invited ones to bring diapers and wipes..you can never have too many of those lol

If you don't really need anything, then just have it be more of a "party" to celebrate, not necessarily a shower.  You could put on the invitations "No gifts required" or something to that effect.  You can still do all the usual baby shower games and themed cake/cupcakes, etc, but that doesn't mean you have to get gifts if you have everything already. 

Or if you don't like that idea, you can have kind of a "Diaper shower"...ask only for diapers, wipes, etc.  Even baby clothes.

Congrats on baby #4!!  :)  I would say maybe register for something that's specific for him...like if you've made baby books for the other kids, register for a new one for him.  Or picture frames...or you could even put diapers & wipes on there (we can always use those, right?).  But I agree w/ the PP, if you feel like its tacky to register, then don't.  More than likely your friends will pick something out for you if they want to, you know?

If all you really is a moses basket then maybe ask people to chip in a little bit instead of buying a gift.

If you have everything you could possibly need for the new baby (congrats!) then just have a diaper shower! Those are GREAT! and make sure everyone gets all size diapers... I didnt have to buy diapers for my son till he was about 8 months old, so diaper showers are great!!!!  

[EveVrad0105]

 Oh and lots of wipes as well... maybe baby lotions and rash ointments...

I wouldnt register for anything if i have all the neccessities arleady. Just have a celebration. Im sure you will get a few gift anyway.

It sounds like you don't really need anything. Just make sure the car seat is less than 6 years old. If you used it with your first son, it'll probably be expired by the time #4 comes along so you'll need a new one. Congratulations!

Congrats!  Maybe you can just ask for things that you WILL need, like diapers, wipes, baby shampoo, lotion...etc.  Ask your friend, if you could make it more of a celebration party, rather than a gift-giving party.  Have food, play games, play music...etc, but no or very little gift giving!  Good luck!
