She is team green again so hopefully by doing something after the baby is here, she will get either some blue stuff she needs or lots more diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129573 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:22:58 +0000 Honeybee 129573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty common in my area to have baby showers for every child; having said that, I didn't have a shower for #1 and I didn't have one for #2, either. It was a little disappointing, but such is life, I guess.</p> <p>However, my mom's sorority threw HER a shower for both of MY kids, lol. They're all older ladies with grandkids of their own, so they throw grandma showers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129360 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:20:47 +0000 Rock n Roll 129360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a shower with my first (I lived far away from my family and wasn't going to be home before the baby arrived), but my aunt wants to have a diaper party for this one. It will be a family thing. </p> <p>We will have a BaByQ in the summer for people to come see the baby- we did the same thing with our first and it was a lot of fun! No presents, just a chance for people to come and see the new baby and eat lots of barbecue. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129342 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:15:57 +0000 tequiero21 129342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I heard its frowned upon to have a second shower. But I think there are definitely exceptions... For ex. If u got pregnant much later and u no longer have any baby stuff and/or if the baby is the other sex. But I have heard of sprinkles so obviously, people have them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129230 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:17:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 129230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's looked down upon in my area to have a second even if its a different gender. People tend to think it comes off greedy, and I do agree. </p> <p>I always bring a small gift when we visit the baby after he/she is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129225 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:14:41 +0000 looch 129225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dunno, I didn't have a shower for my wedding or first child, but I don't have a problem if someone else has them. If I felt weird or that the parents to be were being gift-grabby, I'd just get them something small.</p> <p>That being said, if we have a second, we won't have a shower either. I will host a sip and see, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129202 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:07:10 +0000 Adira 129202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't even had one, but I don't plan to have a shower for a second baby. To me it seems kind of gift-grabby... but my SIL just had a second shower for her second baby so... who knows what my husband's family will plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129185 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:03:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 129185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of want one since this one's a girl!! What's more fun than a super girly baby shower and girly little gifts?!?! Our first shower was a huge co-ed bash with BBQ, beer, and games. But the people who threw me my first one all either don't live in the area or don't have children yet, so I don't think anyone will be throwing me one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129180 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:01:07 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 129180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd showers wouldn't go well in my family, but my best friend aka Sienna's godmother wants to throw a party. She will probably do it after the baby is born so that it gives reason for people to come. (and not just to give gifts) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-129173 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 07:57:51 +0000 chopsuey 129173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't plan on having one! I have everything I need already. If we have a boy, it might be nice if people just gave me some clothes though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128979 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:04:56 +0000 cyndistar3 128979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't expect to since Im having another girl and it hasn't been that long but the ladies at my church surprised me and threw one for me anyways :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128964 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:51:54 +0000 Rubies 128964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't be having any more showers. It is too much for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128940 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:37:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 128940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not commonly done here either. I think it'd be fun but it probably won't happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128929 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:31:41 +0000 autumnlove 128929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't want one! Definitely seems a little too much for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128920 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:27:11 +0000 cupcakemama 128920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where i am it is frowned on for #2 and seen as gift grabby. The only exception is if you didn't have one for #1. This happened to a friend of mine who had #1 a month early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128864 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:41:37 +0000 sulli301 128864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think that I will have one &amp; I'm okay with that. I had 3 for DD &amp; still feel blessed for that :) I do feel a bit sad that this baby won't have the shower scrapbooks &amp; pictures but I am sure our family &amp; friends will be too kind &amp; this baby will be spoiled too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128834 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:06:54 +0000 heffalump 128834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I think it's fine! Especially if you call it a sprinkle and just have something little. I think you're friends right, you'll need new stuff if you're having a different gender than your first!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: Good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128827 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:01:32 +0000 Andrea 128827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I think that would be weird since I did not even have one for my first. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128826 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:00:21 +0000 MrsBrewer 128826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around where I leave it is also "frowned upon" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128825 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:59:00 +0000 regberadaisy 128825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not, I think the consensus among my family and friends is baby shower only for the first. But hosting my own Sip n See for #2 might be fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128823 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:56:33 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 128823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my friends asked me the same thing, I would like one, just for the clothes, but I doubt it will happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128822 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:55:39 +0000 banana 128822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering the same thing. My best friend wants to throw me another shower and I feel bad! She said it'll be different cause this time we're having a girl. But still....seems inappropriate? I dunno. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwill-you-have-a-shower-for-baby-2#post-128817 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:51:17 +0000 heffalump 128817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my culture, second baby showers/sprinkles are frowned upon, so I won't be having one. I'm ok with that, I've had enough showers and parties! </p> <p>A friend of mine is pregnant with her second and I was hoping she'd have another shower because I missed her first one. But doesn't look like that's going to happen. Oh well.... I'll just have to come up with a fun gift to give her even if there's now shower. </p>
