Since we'll likely have most of what we need from our first I think I would want the focus to be more on meeting the baby and welcoming him/her to the family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201409 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:09:35 +0000 heffalump 201409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't, it's a no no in my culture. But I think it's fine for those who do have one. There's always something that you'll need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201389 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:44:44 +0000 cyneswith 201389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't (I don't like showers to begin with, though I do like giving gifts for babies - I do that whether there is a shower or not), but I might have people over for a barbecue to celebrate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201388 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:44:42 +0000 regberadaisy 201388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: just a "casual" gathering after baby is born. You provide light drinks &amp; refreshments (or a full meal if you want) hence the Sip so that they can meet the baby hence the See! :)<br /> And oh they are usually thrown by the parents. Which is why I think it would work great for #2! I wanted to host a Sip N See/housewarming for LO but we're not in our new house yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201382 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:41:34 +0000 GrapeCrush 201382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd showers aren't the norm amongst my family and friends and if you have one....there are definitely whispers!!!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: what is a sip n see? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201168 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:10:13 +0000 banana 201168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want one but my bestie insisted on throwing me one. So we're having our closest friends over for lunch (will just be the 7 of us) and will just hang out and have fun. I didn't register and certainly don't expect people to bring gifts. If they do, I'm sure it will be clothes, which would be great because we're having a girl this time and girl clothes are so fun to look at! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201086 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:12:17 +0000 MamaMoose 201086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers for second children are not the norm among my friends and family so I wouldn't expect anyone to offer and I would probably feel uncomfortable if they did. If someone absolutely insisted I definitely wouldn't have a registry for the second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-201063 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:59:43 +0000 kokobee 201063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not a shower per se but maybe a small get together with just family and close friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200979 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:21:37 +0000 mamimami 200979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL is having one for me. In Mexico they think it's craaaaazy that gringos only have a shower for the first baby! We really don't need anything but it will be fun to celebrate and do all the silly shower stuff again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200919 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:47:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 200919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am in the minority when I say that I really want some sort of celebration with my second! I'm so excited because even though I didn't request it, and I didn't think anyone would throw me one, I found out that my friend is throwing me a small get together this weekend. There's not TOO much that we need, but since it's a girl this time, it would be nice to celebrate that and do all things girly. </p> <p>Most of the things we need are not that exciting as gifts (more crib sheets, second camera for the baby monitor, seat that turns our stroller into a double stroller, another humidifier, etc) so I'm not really in it for the gifts... just an excuse to get together with my friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200905 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:34:57 +0000 regberadaisy 200905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope because I don't think anyone would throw me one. But I would love to throw a Sip N See for #2 after s/he is born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200859 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 08:53:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 200859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't plan on having one for baby #2, I have gotten mostly neutral items for this one, besides clothes and bedding and that can all be easily replaced if we end up with a boy next round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200795 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 07:32:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 200795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am throwing an open house/meet the baby party for a friend of mine for #2. She is team green so it works out well to do it afterwards so we will know if its a boy or girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200772 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 06:31:31 +0000 chopsuey 200772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I don't expect one and wouldn't want one thrown for me since I have everything I need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200763 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 05:35:16 +0000 Andrea 200763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I didn't want one the first time either. For the second time, I don't think I will need much besides the new baby's furniture and room decor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-shower#post-200732 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 22:57:35 +0000 autumnlove 200732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think you will have a baby shower for your second child? My friend loved planning my first one and says she wants to throw us a "sprinkle" whenever we have Baby 2. I don't think I want one since we have a lot of gear, neutral clothing and I want to be Team Green! We also have cloth diapers and we don't need any disposables!</p> <p>Do you think you will have a shower for your second child? </p>
