Did you have a baby shower for your 2nd + baby?
I didn't but my kids are only.two years apart and the same gender.

I did for S, cause she was 6 years after having D. But, I didn't for M.
I ended up with way more gifts for M, though, than I did with a shower for S, lol.
-
I did not even though they were opposite sexes.
-
A friend gave me a sprinkle - I had a girl 2nd time around so it was fun to get some girly things
-
Not pregnant yet but my mom is already talking about throwing me one for a second because she dropped the ball and didn't throw me one for my first. I don't really want one though. I was happy to be done with showers!!
-
No shower or sprinkle.
-
Someone was going to throw me a small one for my second, but the baby came early! For my third I did have a shower, because a friend offered to throw it (I felt weird about it the whole time), but none of the people who came to that shower knew me when I had my first. I think different areas of the country have different rules/expectations. I also think every baby should be celebrated, maybe not showered with gifts, but celebrated for sure!
-
I did with #2, but there was an 11 year gap between the two. My mom wanted to plan something small for #3, but I declined.
-
Nope, my friends and family were very generous when my first LO was born and I wouldn't have felt right inviting them to another party where they felt like they should bring a baby gift!
-
No, I didn't want one for either DD.
-
I didn't want one for DS and graciously was thrown two showers, so I probably won't have one for future babies.
-
I threw my friend a "sprinkle shower" for her second, who is another boy and just a year and a half behind his older brother. I think all babies deserve a little celebration, albeit not a huge shower.
-
I had a sprinkle, but didn't have a shower for my first (was supposed to...but then my kid came early on the day of the shower!)
-
My best friend threw me a "surprise" sprinkle. It was planned and I found out about it a week before. She hosted it as a diaper freeze party. If you chose to bring a frozen meal or package of diapers you would be entered into a drawing for a prize. She had 4 $10 prizes. DS will be 22 months when #2 arrives but we did not find out what we are having.
It was nice 12 of my closest family members and friends celebrating a new little one with food and conversation.
-
I don't want one at all and it would be especially difficult since I'm moving out of state mid pregnancy.
-
We will probably not an "American" shower (sorry didn't know how else to put this), but we will probably have a red egg and ginger party which is kind of like a Chinese shower for the second.
-
@Aandmklover: I like the idea of a diaper freeze party!
-
I haven't had one. I'm having 2 of the same gender, 3 years apart. I would have liked to have a little celebration with no gifts, but since people don't really follow the rules we just opted to have nothing instead.
-
I doubt I will have one. I don't see the point of having a 2nd baby shower.
-
My best friends threw me a sprinkle. Even though mine were 2 years apart and same gender. It was nice to celebrate this baby too. A
-
I really, really want to have a party for baby two. I'll specify no gifts, but I really just want every child to be celebrated! I hope people aren't offended by it.
-
My mom is insisting on having a sprinkle for me. I've asked that people make a freezer meal in lieu of gifts since we really don't need anything.
-
I didn't want one, but my coworkers insisted on a diaper shower, and I got a lot of clothing also, and my close friends had a baby brunch for me. I didn't register for my second because my kids are so close in age.
-
I didn't have one for friends or family, even though it was opposite sexes. They had one for me at work. I started the job after my first was born so they weren't involved in the first one.
-
I would do a sip and see though! No gifts of course.
-
first grandkid on SO's side & his mom really wanted to throw one so I had one. Otherwise I wouldn't have had one as they are 2 years apart & the same gender.
-
@littlek: what's a sip and see?
-
@sapphire: it's after LO is born. You have a mini party and people can meet your LO.
-
I didn't want one but my close girlfriends threw me a small, intimate "sprinkle". My first is a boy and 2nd is a girl so it was fun experiencing both types of showers.
-
@Arden: @luckypenny: same. I think every baby deserves to be celebrated too! Unfortunately, no sprinkle for me. No one offered offered to throw me one because it's not common in my circle.
Thinking about a Oktoberfest / football Sunday brew n view. We'll see how I'm feeling post baby.
