My shower for my first was cancelled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319286 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:50:19 +0000 LAZB 2319286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I had three, one for my family/friends, one for DH family/friends, and one for my friends. I had like 18 people wanting to host, so I thought it would be better to split it up.<br /> With my second, I had two, kinda. One at work (I was supposed to have it for my first, but he came before the shower was scheduled), and one with friends. The one with friends was more of a celebration brunch, but some people brought gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319283 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:48:53 +0000 ElbieKay 2319283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I planned none.

I told my mom and MIL that I didn't want one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319277 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:45:51 +0000 birdofafeather 2319277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1: 2 showers - family and friends from home and then a local friends shower<br /> DD2: 1 sprinkle with grandmas, sisters and very close friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319263 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:40:57 +0000 yin 2319263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one for LO1 and no sprinkle for LO2. I felt bad for LO2 because I wanted to celebrate welcoming him to our family in some way. I didn't want the gifts, just the celebration of our new addition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319245 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:31:07 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2319245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. </p> <p>One back home with my family and friends and DHs family. </p> <p>One in our new town with some friends and my mom and MIL came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319242 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:29:03 +0000 simplyfelicity 2319242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 baby and three showers (family, work and church) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319236 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:26:47 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2319236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 4 with LO1 (Friends, my mom's friends who have all known me since I was little, work, and my book club) and won't be having any for this LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319176 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:06:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2319176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 3 and DH had 1 at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2319113 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:42:48 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2319113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2.

I felt guilty at first, but I wasn't working when I was pregnant with Evan, and have a whole lot of new friends who are so excited that "we're" having a baby. This baby will be the first girl in my husband's family in 78 years, so there's no way I could stop his family from making a huge deal about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-baby-showers#post-2318886 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 08:33:57 +0000 rattles 2318886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two with DD1.
