in your area? I did not think they were in mine but in the informal playgroup I am a part of they are becoming the norm.

    Not really.  Only 1 person I know had a 2nd one and it was more of a brunch/lunch, let's all sit around and drink and eat sort of thing.

    Yes they are. That's why I was shocked when I found out on here people thought they are tacky.

    No, not at all. They're considered bad etiquette here and very tacky.

    They are extremely common here.  I never realized how taboo others considered them until I came to TB.

    They happen here but I don't know how common they are. Regardless they're always small (close friends and family), and it's more seen if #2 is going to be a different sex.

    Instead of a shower, we had a 'sprinkle' for a woman at work expecting #2.  We gathered for brunch and gave her some diapers, wipes and baby stuff (diaper cream, soap, etc.).  It was nice - I thought it was a cute idea.

    I've basically just seen them for when there is either a big age difference between baby 1 and 2, different sex baby, or when a mom was having twins.  MIL already mentioned how I'll need another one since we are having twins now... I do not want one, and would not expect anyone to buy us stuff since they were just so generous a little more than a year ago!
    Love my girls!!

    I think it is always fun to celebrate the expected birth of a new child with my friends.  Its a special time to celebrate, if it is the first or fourth.

    I have one friend who has 3 kids.  Twins that are 7, a girl age 3 and a new baby boy.  The recent baby was a bit unexpected and the previous baby items had already been given away.  So it was perfect to have a new shower.

    Just enjoy the party, friendship, and love of a new life.
