I had to Speerhead my first one and I had fun but I admit it felt a little lame. I hate that some people thing you only get a second shower if you have the opposite gender. How annoying! I will not push for a shower but no matter what I have I will make sure baby gets some of their own things.

I had no shower for 1 or 2!

In my circle the baby shower is for the mom, to welcome her into motherhood and take care of the things she'll need to take care of her baby.
I already have everything from baby one so I don't need much for baby two.
No second shower for me.

no shower for #2

@Lindsay05: our group of friends/family also feel that every baby should be celebrated!

It's typical in my circle for second time moms to have a sprinkle, diaper shower, or coed BBQ/shower party. It's usually more fun and casual than the first, more traditional shower

I didn't have a shower for my second (though one was planned, he just came early). I did have one for my third. It felt weird doing it, but my friends where I live now didn't know me before my first and were really excited to throw it.

I won't have one for my second and to be honest, I am not really into second showers. I don't know - seems a little gift-grabby to me. But I guess if someone wanted to have a casual, no gift party to celebrate the baby, I wouldn't see an issue with it.

I had a very small "sprinkle" with only sisters, aunts and cousins. It was only 10 people and we had dinner at a local restaurant. My mom and sisters went in on a large gift and my aunt and her daughters went in together on several medium sized things.
I think its okay to have a sprinkle and I wanted to focus on spending time with the special women in my family before the new baby comes. I didn't need a lot of stuff because we are having the same gender, less than 3 years apart.
