But the timing was more for my sister who hosted. She's away at school so it was the only weekend she could do. But I honestly didn't care much either way since I was having same gender, same month baby so I didn't need much.</p> <p>With DD1 I had her shower 7 weeks before she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-sprinkle-for-a-second-baby#post-2781225 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 08:33:47 +0000 Truth Bombs 2781225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our circle we usually do them about 2 months ahead of the due date so around 32 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-sprinkle-for-a-second-baby#post-2781217 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 07:14:44 +0000 Boopers 2781217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sprinkle was at 32 weeks mostly because that was the best weekend to have it due to other commitments. I felt plenty pregnant and it gave us enough time to put the few small items we got away before the baby came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-sprinkle-for-a-second-baby#post-2781216 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 07:05:25 +0000 Jennibenni 2781216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn’t have anything for LO2, but my shower for LO1 was at 31 weeks and I thought it was a great time! It was before I got huge and uncomfortable so I felt more “glowingly pregnant” than like a walrus. It also gave me plenty of time to wash, set up, shop, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-sprinkle-for-a-second-baby#post-2781191 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 19:43:08 +0000 Bernieboo 2781191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a sprinkle for a second (or third or fourth...) baby, when did you have it? With my first, my baby shower was at about 34/35 weeks and then I had her at 37 weeks. I would have loved a bit more time in between to get stuff washed and shop for what we still needed. When did you have your sprinkle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-baby-registry-for-2nd-babysprinkle#post-2630143 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 15:35:42 +0000 Alba4 2630143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought of one more thing! Maybe a backpack style diaper bag since you'll be chasing 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-baby-registry-for-2nd-babysprinkle#post-2630135 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 15:26:12 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2630135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think most of what we are needing to buy has already been covered above, but here's our list:</p> <p>Second monitor<br /> Swing (got rid of our last one)<br /> Carrier<br /> Humidifier<br /> Sound machine<br /> Bottle nipples<br /> Pacis<br /> Bibdanas<br /> Sleep sacks (ours were hand me downs are are pretty worn out)<br /> Booties (last baby was summer baby, this one is winter)<br /> Shampoo, diaper cream, sunscreen<br /> Nursing supplies for me (lanolin, breast pads, etc)<br /> Ride-along attachment for the stroller so Older Brother can stand while baby is pushed<br /> Banana toothbrush teether (DS#1 LOVED his to smithereens)<br /> We'll also need additional convertible car seats once baby is out of the infant seat, but probably will wait to buy these</p> <p>Also interested in the Halo bassinet, but not sure whether I want to throw down $200 for it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-baby-registry-for-2nd-babysprinkle#post-2630085 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:50:13 +0000 ShootingStar 2630085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our second we registered for new pacifiers, bottle nipples, paci clips, booties and burp cloths.

It will definitely be a smaller more intimate group, but I'm struggling to find gift ideas in multiple price ranges...and trying to remember what I might need! (We are team green so I am thinking baby clothing will be minimal.)</p> <p>Here's what I have so far - any suggestions or ideas?</p> <p>Bassinet (halo bassinet swivel sleeper) since big brother is still in the crib, and we'll have baby in our room for 3-4 months.<br /> High chair - we didn't register for this with our first and I hate the high chair we ended up with.<br /> 2nd set of Aiden and Anaïs swaddle blankets.<br /> Baby wash/diaper ointment/baby powder<br /> Size 1 and 2 diapers<br /> 2nd car seat base - also something we didn't get with our first and would appreciate!<br /> Kickee pants sleepers</p> <p>Almost everything is &lt;$5 or &gt;$80! Help me remember what I'm missing with baby #2. (We already have the rock n play, swing and activity jumper) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2054734 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 20:11:20 +0000 Charm54 2054734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: ya it really was perfect - no pressure, just good food, good convos, and presents ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2054707 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 19:49:21 +0000 shopaholic 2054707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: Ooh!

It seemed like a smaller crowd, and more homemade food. Gifts were more like clothes and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053222 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 22:37:27 +0000 cheert16 2053222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF's threw me a sprinkle for lo#2. It was just family and close friends! Food, presents and chatting - no games! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053128 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:52:30 +0000 MamaCate 2053128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one for my SIL for her second and it was fun. There was a decent crowd but that side of the family is huge. They did a few games and requested diapers for gifts since she was going to have two in diapers. Most people brought diapers and something else, usually clothes. I think it was really nice for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053124 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:45:26 +0000 Charm54 2053124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to a couple and it's always just close close friends, pot luck style and just hanging out chatting. No games, no themes, no prizes, etc. The last one I went to was at a local restaurant which I thought was perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053102 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:26:16 +0000 raspberries 2053102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to two sprinkles and they each had a gift theme... for one, everyone brought diapers in different sizes, and for the other, everyone brought a different children's book.
