for those that had a 2nd baby

Did you register again? Have another shower just curious?

Most people only get one shower and that's for your first. I've never been to a shower for someones second.

Ive heard of showers when the babies are spaced out by about 10 or 15 yrs...but otherwise just for the 1st baby

My kids are 5 years apart and I did not have another shower.

my best friend did not have a shower, but I think her family got all the things she needed for her boy since her first was a girl

Re: for those that had a 2nd baby

i always thought it was a no, unless there was a big difference between thekids. however, my dad and his mil threw my stepmother another shower for baby #2 and the kids are a year and a hlaf apart. i don't agree with it, but to each his own.

My kids are 4 years apart and I didn't have a 2nd shower, there really isn't a need for a shower for the 2nd child, you have everything already.

I didnt have a second shower. My kids are 21 mths apart so I really didnt 'need' anything anyway but I'd be embarrassed to have another after people were so generous once already. My Mom & SIL did take me out to brunch as a little shower thing and gave me a few goodies which was really nice.

Re: for those that had a 2nd baby

My kids are 7 years apart, so I did have another shower. It's amazing how much things change in 7 years!

Re: for those that had a 2nd baby

Depending on the sex of the baby I think 2nd timers should re-register... Most family and friends will get you gifts anyway.. Why not what you like? JMHO...

I have a boy, if we get preggo and find out we are having a girl- EVERYTHING I have is blue.. and or red/denim... Clothes, baby bags, curtains, changing pad covers.. EVERYTHING... I would re-register.

Re: for those that had a 2nd baby

I am not.

I think this is the time it's great that we didn't find out the sex because I have quite a bit of newborn-6 month neutral clothes. Plus we did the nursery neutral.

Re: for those that had a 2nd baby

I don't think you do unless your kids are like years apart

Re: for those that had a 2nd baby

Ok thats what I thought! My mother and aunt insist that I have another shower for baby #2 because it's not fair for the 2nd baby to have all handyme downs! How crazy is that~!

Nancy, Congrats! Do you know the sex? Andrew is really big and no longer a baby :(. I'm due with my 2nd in March, they should be 24 months apart.
